As Skene is located near the west coast, close to the city of Gothenburg and surrounded by Swedish nature in the middle of Västra Götaland County, there are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports, for example around the Hedgärdessjön lake in Skene. In Skene and its nearest town, Kinna, there are also shopping opportunities such as the Kungsfors shopping centre, as well as restaurants like Anatolia Grill, Mandy’s Fast Food, Casablanca, and Wasabi Sushi & Wok. Skene is also known for its textile industry, so you will find numerous shops selling fabrics, clothing and more. 

There is a real record-breaker nearby, too: in Ullared, just under 50 kilometres from Skene, stands Scandinavia’s largest department store. With a retail space of around 35,000 square metres, Gekås Ullared offers a true shopping experience, alongside accommodation in the adjacent Gekås village, a campsite, a swimming lake with sauna, a mini golf course, a high ropes course, a winter ski slope and much more.

Here are a few ideas for a short trip or longer stay near the AL-KO Customer Centre in Skene, Sweden.

The campsite has 150 large camping pitches, some of which are right on the shore while others offer unobstructed lake views, as well as a parking area for motorhomes, cabins, a restaurant, sanitary facilities, a mini golf course, a supermarket and more. 
• Seglora Camping, Seglora: This small campsite with a family atmosphere is located just under 20 minutes’ drive north of the customer centre and offers all the infrastructure campers require, rental cabins and space for tents. The site is open from April to September.
• Överlida Camping & Stugor, Överlida: Överlida Camping is located between Mjöbäck and Fäxhult, 30 kilometres from Skene, on the edge of the small village of Överlida on a headland by lake Lilla Hallången.
