Here in the Valle area we are not modest – the area is marketed as “Vallevägen - the world's most beautiful road”. Roughly 20 small business owners have joined forces to highlight the area's assets and resources. This involves both artists, producers, traders and B&B’s. The nature in the area is characterized by the kame landscape with its rolling hills. This type of landscape is considered unique in the world - it was formed when the inland ice retreated. There are over 60 km of hiking trails, and the area is known for all the tens of thousands cherry trees that blossom here during May.
For those looking for more "challenging" nature, we recommend Jättadalen, a deep ravine surrounded by diabase precipices. The walk up to Jättadalen is steep and somewhat strenuous. You can stop and take a breather at a spring with plenty of water bubbling through the shale. Once perched on the edge of the mountain you are greeted by views of the Valle area with its mosaic of lakes, forests and pastures and with a blue Kinnekulle in the distance.
It is the very hard mineral diabase covering Västgötabergen mountains that has protected them from being broken down by ice, wind and water. Here at Jättadalen the diabase forms vertical cliffs, with pillars and crevasses. Below the drops there are screes with fallen, jagged boulders. Om du fortsätter på stigen som leder söderut från utsiktspunkten kommer du till slut till Öglunda grotta, som är en liknande ravin. If you carry on along the trail leading south from the viewpoint, you will eventually come to Öglunda cave, which is a similar ravine. Huge diabase boulders form cavernous rooms. At the "cave" there are also standing pillars.
The Valle Hike, which starts at Flämslätt, passes through Jättadalen valley.
