About this tour
This session walks part of the trail around Delsjön, a lake and forest reserve just east of central Gothenburg. You see the water and the trail that circles it, and the forest closing in further along. Johanna treats it as proof of how quickly the city gives way to genuine countryside.
She moves at a steady outdoor pace along the trail, pointing out where swimmers and runners use the lake in warmer months. Questions about how to reach the reserve come up regularly, and she answers with her own route from the tram stop.
This suits anyone wanting nature within easy reach of the centre. It closes out Johanna's three sessions with the most outdoor of the three, after a museum and a city district.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Gothenburg before heading out.
-
Lake trail 21 min
The camera follows part of the trail around Delsjön, a lake and forest reserve just east of the city, popular with runners and swimmers in warmer months.
-
Forest beyond the water 21 min
Further along the trail, the forest closes in, and I explain how close this genuinely wild stretch sits to the tram lines back into the city centre.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Gothenburg: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: West coast prawns (Västerhavsräkor) and Haga, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
