Brudaremossen, Moss and hill in Gothenburg, Sweden

Brudaremossen is a bog and hill in the Delsjö area nature reserve in Gothenburg. Most of the original bog is gone: a landfill operated here from 1938 to 1978 and was later covered with excavated soil and clay, with drainage pipes laid underneath. On the hill's northwest side lies the Brudarebacken ski slope, a grassy slope in summer with a mountain bike trail.

Brudaremossen was used as a landfill from 1938 to 1978; the site was then closed and covered with excavated soil and clay, so little remains of the original bog. Drainage pipes were laid under the tip to keep pollutants from spreading, and the drainage water is led to a leachate pond and on to the Ryaverket treatment plant. Landfill gas has been burned off since a 1995 methane explosion killed a man in a nearby clubhouse.

The name comes from a legend that a bridal party sank into the bog here. Today the hill is a lookout point and spring birdwatching spot where ring ouzels are sometimes seen; the slope also holds a mountain bike trail, and a camping and a riding club sit along Brudaremossen road.

The road Brudaremossen, built to a high standard for the former landfill, leads up to the hill and is used by walkers, cyclists and riders; a campsite and a riding club lie along it. The ski slope on the northwest side only opens in the few spells when Gothenburg has snow and lasting cold. A mountain bike trail runs down the slope.

The landfill that covered the original moss was used from 1938 to 1978. After a 1995 methane explosion killed a man in a nearby clubhouse, landfill gas has been burned off at the site to reduce explosion risk.
