Quick ride by bicycle from Gothenburg to Mölndal

Ready for a fun pedal from Gothenburg to Mölndal? This chill 7.6 km ride is perfect for a brisk workout, a leisurely commute, or a casual weekend outing. You’ll start in the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden’s bustling “second city” packed with vibrant cafes, leafy parks, and those famous canals. Heading south, most of your journey follows smooth paths and quiet cycleways, with very gentle ups and downs—there’s less than 30 meters of total climbing, so it’s easy enough for all skill levels.
