Älvrummet Nature Reserve - 1-2 kilometers from Drottningtorget square

The nature reserve Älvrummet is located not far from central Trollhättan. The northernmost part of the reserve starts only about 1 kilometer from the main square. You just need to cross the Klaffbron bridge, then turn left and then right just before the Hansenplatsen monument. Here you can leave your bike and walk over the Strömkarlsbron bridge and walk up the stairs to your left. Here you have the start of the De Laval walk and you are close by Forngården outdoor museum.

If you want to start exploring the area from the central part of Älvrummet, to for example hike along the Edsvidsleden Trail, you can go to the parking area on the opposite side of Olidan power station. It is only about 2 kilometers here from the main square.

The Innovatum District - 1.5 kilometers from Drottningtorget square 

The popular Innovatum District with attractions such as Innovatum Science Center and Saab Car Museum is about 1.5 kilometers from Drottningtorget Square.

By car / motorhome /caravan

If you arrive by car, motorhome or caravan from the E45 road, you can reach the Fall and Locks area most easily by either going by Gärdhemsvägen street through the city center, over Klaffbron bridge and then turn left towards Åkersbergsvägen street. This is best suited if you are going to the waterfalls, Älvrummet or the Locks area. You can also drive via Lasarettsvägen street to the Innovatum District and from there left towards the Locks area. 

If you come with a motorhome or caravan, the second of the two above options is recommended as there are better parking opportunities in the Innovatum District and parking spaces for motorhomes on this side of the canal down by the Locks area. 

You can also find short-term parking at Hansenplatsen monument as well as parking at Insikten, Olidan and at the western part of the Locks area. 

With public transport

The best way to reach the Fall and Locks area via bus is to take the number 21 bus from the train station or Drottningtorget square towards "Skoftebyn" and get off at the "Innovatum" stop. Here you are in the middle of the Innovatum District and can also easily reach the Trollhättan Waterfalls (1.2 km) and the Locks Area (1.3 km). The buses go several times a day both to Innovatum and back to the city center.
