Storås - Jennylund, Pilgrimsleden Göta Älv, etapp 3

The feeling of the mountains and fresh mountain air brings peace and a strange calm. On Färdväg Vättlefjäll it is easy to enjoy yourself and you should. To have this nature so close to Gothenburg is a blessing. Vättlefjäll is a large mountain plateau full of heather, coniferous forest and lakes. The word vättle has to do with wetness and water, and the large number of lakes, bogs and smaller watercourses shows the origin of the word. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Vättlefjäll was basically one large heather moor, with bare rocky knolls sticking up. The name fjäll derives from this time.
