Just across the river from downtown Gothenburg, the Lindholmen district is more of a ferry port than a residential neighborhood, but it’s one of Gothenburg’s fastest growing centers of media, arts, and academia. Plus, the paths along the docks and piers here make for a nice spot to run along the water, and are generally less busy than the Göta Älv paths and downtown. The route utilizes the Lindholmsallen Path through the center of the district, then wraps around the waterfront paths where you can watch the ferries come and go before returning via the Lindholmen Science Park. Our loop is 3 km, and 6 km, if you cross over and run the Eriksberg waterfront.
For a longer route, cross over to Eriksberg on the bike path and enjoy another 1.5 km along the Eriksberg waterfront. Or, explore the streets of this ever-changing neighborhood.

Essentials
Lindholmsallen loop is 3 km (1.9 miles); 1.5 km waterfront path in Eriksberg
The 2.4 kms of paths along the river Göta Älv are the top choice when it comes to running in Gothenburg, and a great way to get across the city without leaving the waterside.
The centerpiece of a 1.5 km greenbelt along Gothenburg’s central canal, and is a delightful jewel of greenery in the heart of the city. The park is situated between the water and the Nya allén road. Good add-on options.
Located just southwest of the city center, Slottsskogen park is home to miles of tarmac paths that are great for a peaceful park run. A loop around the park is about 2.5 miles (4 km).
A national reserve right near the city center, is a favorite for those who want some trail running. 320 hectares, with great variety. We've mapped a route around botanical gardens and a lake. Can combine with Slottskogen.
A series of paved pathways form a 3.5 km route around the Ullevi Stadium and the nearby Avagen Canal. Run separately or as an add-on to Kungsparken or river paths.
A great resource for runners in Gothenburg. Combination indoor gym and outdoor recreation facility, with designated running trails of 2.5 km, 5 km, and 8 km (some lit!), and trail run of up to 18 km. Enjoy a post-run sauna and shower in the gym!
