In this beautiful landscape with small lakes, flowing fields of gold, pasture land and hardwood forests you can drive around, hike, or rent a bike and experience the six nature reserves. You can also visit artists and craftsmen along the way, or why not stay overnight at one of the cosy accommodations in the area? Below you'll find a few tips on what to see and do: - The Silver Falls (Silverfallet) The waterfall of Silverfallet is situated in the middle of the area. It is most popular during the spring but is beautiful all year round with unique fauna, nice walking tracks, and picnic spots. - Öglunda Caves and Jättadalen Carved beneath colossal fallen stone blocks, the Öglunda caves showcase captivating formations, including free-standing pillars of dolerite. These unique hollows, caves, and pillars are a distinctive feature adorning the dolerite slopes throughout Billingen. Jättadalen, a gorge sculpted by a meandering stream, is embraced by steep mountain walls. Stand atop the precipitous cliffs of Jättadalen, and you'll be treated to a breathtaking panorama of Vallebygden, stretching all the way to the majestic Kinnekulle. - Hiking in Valle In the area, there are a lot of walking tracks that take you around and in between the many small lakes. The map is available at the Skövde Tourist office.

Malia offers plenty to do, both day and night. Its bars and nightclubs rival Ibiza's, and after a night of revelling, there are tranquil beaches, a charming old town and a Minoan palace to explore.

At the nature reserve Silverfallet-Karlsfors, an impressive waterfall pours down over the rocks. The falls are most popular in the spring when the water level is at its highest. The area is rich in rare flora and perfect for a Sunday outing. You can also see remains from the biggest alum operation in Skaraborg, which was abandoned in 1856.

The state-of-the art stadium continues to attract guests long after the 2010 World Cup it was originally built to host. A SkyCar takes visitors to the panoramic viewing platform at the stadium's very top. Walking up the several hundred stairs on foot is another alternative. Thrill-seekers must try the Big Swing — an impressive free-fall swing named world's tallest in 2011.
