Facilities & Activities
The area includes:
- Several enduro and mountain bike trails
- A 9-hole disc golf course
- Multiple barbecue areas
- An outdoor fitness station with strength equipment
There is also a water tap near the parking area and main cabin, where you can rinse your bike or refill your water bottle (note that it is turned off during winter due to freezing conditions).
Mountain Biking (MTB)
Borgen offers several clearly marked MTB trails through varied terrain, suitable for different skill levels:
- Green trail – 3 km (easy)
- Black trail (Swedish Championship course) – 5 km (advanced)
- Orange trail – 8 km (intermediate)
- Blue trail – 15 km (long-distance/intermediate)
All trails are signposted and marked with arrows—follow the direction of the arrows as you ride.
Parts of the orange and blue trails run across both municipal and private land, so please respect landowners and show consideration.

Younger riders can enjoy:
- A 250-metre children’s track near the main cabin
