Discover Hovås: Coast, Trails and Golf

Hovås combines experiences by the water with varied trails and a remarkable golfing tradition. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home for their stay can use their own preferences as a guide: Should the day begin at a sandy beach, follow a short snorkelling trail or be shaped more by golf? In Hovås, these different focuses can be combined without limiting the destination to just one type of holiday.

Water and trails on Stora Amundön

Stora Amundön is assigned to the 436 58 Hovås area and offers several clearly distinct ways to spend time outdoors. The snorkelling trail at Havshuvudet is approximately 200 metres long. Along the trail, 13 marked information boards are connected by a rope. This gives your excursion a manageable experience with a set route and specific stations.

Those who prefer to stay on land will also find various options on Stora Amundön. The trails to Drottningviken bathing area, through the grazing land and on the loop to Kungsviken in the southwest are easy to walk. The trail around the island is different: it runs across rocky terrain and is quite hilly, so it requires different planning from the more accessible trails. If you are travelling with people who have different levels of enthusiasm for hiking, you can organise the day around this choice without everyone having to take the same route.

Hovås Kallbadhus has a sandy beach, adding another option by the water to the excursions on Stora Amundön. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you would like to combine your stay primarily with snorkelling, walks, a route across more challenging terrain or relaxing hours at the beach.

Golf with History and an Indoor Alternative

Golf is also one of the defining themes of a stay in Hovås. Göteborgs Golf Klubb was founded in 1902 and is Sweden's oldest golf club. This long history gives the golf offering a special cultural background that extends beyond the game itself. At Göteborgs Golf Klubb, tee times are available mainly on weekdays. Booking is made via “Min Golf” or through the reception team.

A second option is USE Golf, an indoor golf facility at Krogabäcksvägen 2, 436 53 Hovås. This means that the local facts include both a golf club shaped by history and an indoor facility. This difference may be of interest when planning your trip if you intend to make golf a fixed part of your stay but want to consider different forms of the golfing experience.

Choose the Right Base

When looking for a holiday apartment in Hovås, not only the type of accommodation but also your desired daily rhythm should play a role. Before making your choice, decide whether you want your stay to be shaped more by experiences on the water, walks or golf. If the travel group has different interests, a changing daily plan can help combine time together with individual priorities.
