Kristberg Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The oldest parts of the church probably date from around the turn of the 1200s. During the later Middle Ages, probably in the 15th century, the original stone church was replaced by a much wider building, the southern and northern extension walls of which are part of the current church. The sacristy that was added at that time (extended to the north in 1729) has also been preserved with remains of frescoes from the second half of the 15th century.

The Motala Ström in Borensberg

Highlight • River

In Borensberg, the Göta Canal meets the Motala Ström, creating a picturesque setting where water and history intertwine. This is one of the few sections of the canal without a lock, as the natural flow of the river carries boats gently onward. The spot is particularly charming, with the old lock keeper’s cottage, small bridges, and cafés giving it the feel of a living postcard. Long a gathering place for travelers and locals, Borensberg highlights the harmony between the canal’s engineering and the surrounding landscape. Today, it remains a beloved stop for cyclists, boaters, and visitors exploring the heart of Östergötland.

Forest Road Along Lake Roxen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Small connecting road with no traffic along Lake Roxen. You rarely see the lake on this section, but there is a lot of shady forest area.
