Vartofta

Travel Guide

View over the countryside where I come from - a small village named Vartofta, located about 220km to the east of Gothenburg in Västergötland. An area mostly famous for the ancient stone- and bronze age findings (graves, jewlery, pottery), the birds of lake Hornborga and of course its many churches. 

What I like about this off-the-beaten-path area is mostly the landscape. Crop fields in different sizes and colors, green hills, thick forests. It all makes a perfect place to wander off and just relax and enjoy the nature.

If ever coming to the south/west of Sweden, give me a shout and I'll give you some tips - or, if I'm not out travelling, I might even show you around the area! 😊

Home sweet home, countryside in Sweden. Outside small town Falköping, about 120km east of gothenburg.

Really off the beaten path. But a lovely area to visit. Much to see here including lots of stone age graves, rune stones and things like that.

A beautiful day at home! A small village called Vartofta, in Västra Götaland, located in-between the two largest lakes of Sweden (just some 120km to the east of Gothenburg).

Besides a beautiful landscape - with trekking, hiking, cycling and skiing opportunities - you will find picturesque lakes and rivers, rune stones, churches, graves and other things dating all the way back to the stone age. It is an off-the-beaten-path area which is best seen during a road trip - with a car or perhaps even a bicycle.

Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was very quiet as was the surrounding area. We were a bit late to the breakfast room and the staff person in charge allowed us to have some breakfast while she was cleaning up and putting food items away. The sewing machines and photos around the hotel ...
