There is no easier way to exercise than to run. Find your own track along footpaths, gravel roads, paths or on any of the marked exercise tracks. Facilities with exercise tracks in different lengths are available at Skidstugan in Strömslund, Munkebo friluftsgård, Slätthultsgården and Rödjan.

PADDLE
Göta älv offers great opportunities for paddle right in the middle of Trollhättan. You can paddle along the boardwalk or explore the Stallbacka Islands. The Slumpåns winding arches and several of the larger lakes are other appreciated paddle waters. The lake Trehörningen is easily accessible for shorter canoe rides.

Many of the municipality's cycle paths are also suitable for roller skiing. Here are some tips for slightly longer routes:
• Velanda-Upphärad
• Old highway 45 southeast of the urban area

BIRD-WATCHING
If you are interested in birds, Hullsjön is a given excursion destination. From the three bird towers, about 200 species of birds are seen every year. Göta älv and the islands at Stallbacka are other nice areas for bird watching.

EXCURSION PLAYGROUNDS
Many nice playgrounds invite to outdoor activities and play. We especially recommend the so-called theme playgrounds Macken playground in Maria Albert's park in the city center, Skrotnisse's playground on Spikön, Vattenkraftens playground in the Trollhätte Canalpark and the Space playground at Kronogården.

OUTDOOR GYM
Several outdoor gyms are spread across the municipality. Here is something for everyone who wants to train for free in an outdoor environment. Click here to see an overview of the different options.

LOCAL SPORTS VENUES
The municipality's many local sports venues invite to activity and outdoor stay. When the venues are not booked for training and matches, you are welcome to use them for spontaneous sports in a responsible way. In four places there are artificial turf where you can play football all year round. In the city center and at the beach of lake Öresjö, there are volleyball nets during the summer.

SKATEPARK
In Trollhättan's Skate and activity park, there are surfaces to skate on for all tastes. Here you can go skateboarding, kickbiking and inline skating. In the park there is also a special pump track for cycling. In Trollhättan there is also one of the country's finest indoor halls, "Junkpark Indoor".

HORSEBACK RIDING
The nature of Trollhättan is well suited for horseback riding. At Ängens gård there are special riding trails, but of course it is possible to ride in many other places. Please thing about the sensitivity of the ground when you ride and avoid riding when it is wet outside, so as not to cause ground damage. You who meet horses and riders: seek eye contact and keep in mind that the horse is a very sensitive animal that is easily frightened.

You stay in nature with the support of the Right of Public Access. It also means obligations. You must not harm animals, nature, trees or crops. Show consideration, do not go over other people's plots and always take your trash home with you. Park only in permitted places or choose the bike and you will be more free. The Right of Public Access means that you stay in nature at your own responsibility and based on your own ability.
