What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the stunning, breathtaking panoramic views of the Göta älv river and Trollhättan's industrial sites, praising the easy-to-navigate path with stairs and railings. While the scenery is a major draw, some note that more detailed information about the power station and river could enhance the experience, and littering is a minor concern.
"What a view, so stunning and breathtaking on a day w. nice sunny weather! Pretty easy hike up there, there’s a path the whole way with signs and also stairs and railing system. Several stops on the way up w. opportunity to sit and enjoy views if needing a rest on the way up. Parking is free and pretty close by as well, you cross the bridge close by. Would definitely come back again another time if ever we get the chance, probably it’s beautiful in autumn and winter as well.
Highly recommend to go if you have the opportunity."

"The place is very nice and especially the view of old dam system from above. The greenery in the area is fantastic. You can walk, jog or run according to your will. The fresh area of this area will make you healthy. The scenes are amazing and I do recommend you to visit this place."

"Worth for a brief visit. The view is pleasant.
They could add more, and detailed information about the river, the adjoining power station, etc. There seemed to be a terrain biking track nearby.
As everywhere in the world, some visitors litter a lot, especially the teenagers who hang out, leaving behind wrappers/boxes of burgers, pizzas."
