Skaraborg is situated between the two largest lakes in Sweden – Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern. This area boasts rich wildlife and is also rich in cultural activities. Lots to enjoy and experience for people of all ages and interests. Explore hiking trails, sample delightful local cuisine and a coffee with some delicious pastry, go looking for flowering ramsons on Kinnekulle or enjoy the dancing cranes at Lake Hornborga.
The Skaraborg region is nicknamed ‘the cradle of the Swedish Kingdom’, and that is not by chance or by accident. There are numerous local attractions, not least cultural and historical sights, but the possibility of outdoor pursuits is extraordinary too, as Skaraborg offers fantastic rambling/hiking trails.
Be surrounded by incredible architecture and feast your eyes on the monastic park while you relish something from the Abbey Café.
Perhaps you take a peek in the museum once you are done below ground and learn even more about the mining process, or enjoy a coffee and pastry at the local café.
Skövde is located in the middle of the Skaraborg region and provides a perfect base camp if you want to explore the Vastgota Plain. Book a few nights with us at Billingehus, and from here, you have no more than an hour’s drive to Skara, Falköping, Lidköping, Mariestad and Tidaholm.
