Mellerud

Attractive Mellerud

Mellerud is located between Gothenburg and Karlstad, in the middle of the countryside and bordering Lake Vänern to the east. The attractive location has given Mellerud a given place among the major tourist destinations in Sweden. The Dalsland Canal with the aqueduct in Håverud is a popular destination. Vita Sannar (Dalsland Riviera) with its fine sandy beach and well-known campsite is another popular tourist destination. Not far from there is the new recognized fine golf course with 18 + 9 holes, as well as Sunnanås beautiful guest harbor. At the moment, housing is being built both privately and municipally to meet the high demand for both houses and apartments.

A richer life

To live in Mellerud is to have the benefit of living in the countryside but still be close to the big city, for example only about 1 hour by train to Gothenburg!
Mellerud is located midway between Gothenburg and Karlstad and offers a very varied and diverse nature, from Vänern’s beautiful archipelago, plains in the southeast to forested areas in the northwest. Lake Vänern with its beautiful archipelago is only a few kilometers from the center. The beautiful nature combined with an extensive cultural life and good educational opportunities contribute to a richer life.

Sunnanå Port – An idyll under development!

Just 5 minutes by bike from the center of Mellerud is Sunnanå harbor, the area has recently been renewed and expanded with, among other things, a number of detached villas, about 100 boathouses on land, and a number of floating boathouses, new service building, a new launching ramp and new piers. Here you can fish from the edge of the jetty, and at the same time look out over Vänern’s pristine archipelago, there is no crowding, you can very easily find your own little gem in an undisturbed bay, or on a nice archipelago islet. Adjacent to the harbor you will find Sunnanå Skeppskrog where you can be served good food, coffee, ice cream and more in a cozy and scenic environment, Every Tuesday evening during the summer at 18-21 there is also a very well attended car meeting with classic cars, motorcycles & mopeds, well worth a visit!

Sunnanå has over the years grown into a major center for Trolling fishermen. Sunnanå harbor met the requirements to get the blue flag in 2005, this means that a number of requirements in terms of management, water quality, safety, service and environmental information must be met. Only a few minutes away is Mellerud Golf Club’s fine facility.
