Billingen Hills

The Billingen Hills, to the west of Skövde, are a plateau 23km/14mi long by 11km/7mi across - the largest in Västergötland - reaching 299m/981ft at its highest point. This is an area of varied landscape, with expanses of bog, lakes, coniferous forests and pastureland (rare flowers, including orchids and lilies), traversed by an attractive waymarked trail 29km/18mi long.

There are excellent facilities for both summer and winter sports. The mineral resources of the hills have long provided raw materials for the industries of the surrounding area.
