In the northern part of Bergsjön is also a walking area of approximately 40 hectares in the area adjacent to the Lärjeån River.In the district there are large areas of mature natural areas between the neighborhoods. In the southwest region is Gärdsmossen: a green belt in an old bog which was drained during the 1970s. The bog is part of a continuous green belt from Kviberg in the south to the exercise facility in Geråshallen and the Lärjeån valley in the north. The area is covered by mostly deciduous trees, but also with pine forests and remnants of former wetland vegetation. In the southern part, north of Utby, is a small hardwood forest. The eastern forest is contiguous forest with the small lakes and wetlands extending into the Partille and Paradisets resort regions and Sörbergen (south of Gunnilse).Public transportBergsjön is approximately 20 minutes from central Gothenburg by public transportation.
