Raise your pulse at Byttorp's outdoor gym

Replenish your energy levels with a workout in the great outdoors.

Exercising outdoors is great and energising at any time of the year. A stone's throw from Lake Kolbränningen in Borås is Byttorp's sports field. There is both a challenging obstacle course and several gym stations. Both the obstacle course and the outdoor gym are of course open all year round and are free for everyone. Here you can challenge yourself or work out with others. Why not combine it with a lap around the lake Kolbränningen (or Byttorpsjön as it is popularly known)?

You can easily get here by car and there is free parking. You can also take the bus from the city centre (line 2) and get off at the Byttorpsskolan stop. From there it's about 700 metres to walk.
