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
