Naturum and Café doppingen

On the east side of Lake Hornborga you will find Fågeludden. You will find both Naturum Hornborgasjön Hornborga and Café Doppingen here. Several hiking trails also start from Fågeludden. Naturum Hornborgasjön and Café Doppingen are usually open between March and October.

Find your way here

Fågeludden is located just outside the town of Broddetorp, about 10 km south of Varnhem. From here, it is equally close to the three nearest cities Skara, Falköping and Skövde. Only about 20 km.

When you approach Broddetorp, it is signposted towards Naturum Hornborgasjön Hornborga. Brown road signs with the text Hornborga will lead you here. 

Take the train and the bus

Many trains run daily to Skövde and Falköping, from both Gothenburg and Stockholm. The last part of the trip to Lake Hornborga can be done by a rental car, local bus or Västtrafiks Närtrafik.

The bus stop closest to the Naturum Hornborgasjön is called Bolum (Falköping) and from it you can get through 1.6 kilometres of gravel road down to the lake. The bus runs quite rarely. The bus stop is reached by Line 313 from Falköping or Varnhem.

Another way is to use Västtrafiks Närtrafik. There you can order tours at certain times of the day from their local transport stops to any location in the countryside. For example naturum.
