Delsjöområdet, Nature reserve in Gothenburg, Sweden

Delsjöområdet is a nature reserve in Gothenburg with multiple lakes, dense forests, and an extensive network of marked hiking trails crossing varied terrain. The landscape offers diverse paths and natural scenery to explore on foot.

The area shows traces of human settlement from the 1400s, including the historical Kärralund farm and the Kallebäck water mill built in 1777. These landmarks record the region's early use for agriculture and milling.

The reserve draws over a million visitors a year, many following the exercise trails that connect to the Skatås motionscentral sports centre. The old waterworks basins by Delsjön are now used as fish ponds, a visible remnant of the area's water-supply role.

The reserve lies between eastern Gothenburg, Mölndal and Härryda, with Skatås motionscentral and its many jogging trails directly adjoining the area. The lakes form part of Gothenburg's water supply, so respect the protection zones around them. The terrain is forested and hilly, notably around the 150-metre Slättåsberget.

The area features integrated outdoor fitness equipment, disc golf courses, and beach volleyball courts naturally woven into the forest landscape. These facilities allow sports activities within nature while keeping the setting undisturbed.
