Hiking in the Mullsjö area

A walk in the woods is one of the most relaxing and summery things you can do and many trails start right in front of beautiful Mullsjö, for example the 2 km long "Svarta spåret", which leads you through Gyljerydsmons pine forest with a nice air. The flat areas are ideal for both hiking and cycling. Some of the hiking trails run alongside Lake Mullsjö, and here you can hike or cycle kilometre after kilometre. You can also hike the great Västergötland trail, which passes through the area.
