Göta Kanal area, ideas request, nature spots, etc

[lmlmlm]

Hi everybody, I intend to spend a few days riding my bike along sections of the Göta Kanal, between Linkoping and Sjotorp. That's pretty easy to figure out, but I am also looking for other spots to visit in the attached area.

I found a few places myself (Tiveden park, Tåkern park), but looking for ideas, anything of unique natural beauty, villages, rune stones, caves, anything that is worth a visit in this area that is particularly swedish or particularly beautiful.

I will be driving, so easy to reach any other place in this area.

thank you

Omberg is worth a visit and a walk. View from the top over lake Vättern and the landscape in Östergötland. Interesting hills/mountains in Västergötland to. Billingen Kinnekulle and Halleberg Hunneberg. Tiveden as mentioned.

Will you sleep in a tent?
