DALSLAND & VÄSTERGÖTLAND: Key Problems and lovely lakes at Håverud // EPS 22

From Dalsland to Västergötland and to one of Swedens most exciting roads: Brudfjällsvägen.

We were only about 300 Kilometers away from the city Gotheburg - but decided not to go straight, but on small roads through Swedens counties Värmland and Dalsland, with another overnight stop.

On our way we visited idyllic Bjurbäckens Slussar Cafe before we arrived in Dalsland. Dalsland was originally called Dal, "Valley". The name Dal is still in part used locally, for Dalsland, which translated would be "valley land“. No other part of Sweden has its area covered with as many lakes as Dalsland does.

Over small roads along several lakes we arrived in Västergötland. The southern and eastern part of the province Västergötland is dominated by hills, The northern and western portions of the province belong to the Central Swedish lowland.

And then we hit one of Sweden's best motorcycle roads: this 8 kilometer long Brudfjällsvägen many people compare it to a rollercoaster.

With Håverud Hotell we found another hotel at a lake. If I enjoyed a swim again? I guess you know the answer - but you will as well find out in this video!
