Kopparklinten and Älvrummet
When you get over the suspension bridge, turn right and follow the water towards the stairs that lead you up to the beautiful viewpoint Kopparklinten (Copper Cliff). Here you get a lovely view of Trollhättan and the Göta älv river. The trail then takes you along the heights in the nature reserve Älvrummet's western part and then back to the suspension bridge along the water of the Göta River and on the other side you continue into the beautiful magic forest on the east side of Älvrummet. Follow this all the way down to Trollhättan's lock area.
