The Nolhaga Labyrinth consists of a winding stone path designed by architect Stefan Peterson. It is based on an old Nordic model, the "Baltic Labyrinth". Those who follow the stone path take a journey through time, through history and into the future. On the stones you will find 33 panels with texts about the history of Alingsås. In the middle of the labyrinth there are also two flat rocks that are large enough to sit on and perhaps reflect on the magic of nature in the park. The Nolhaga Labyrinth was built in 2012 by the "Friends of the Museum" and donated to the city of Alingsås.

The creator of Nolhaga is the entrepreneur Jonas Alströmer, one of the six founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He expanded the central building of his estate into a manor house in 1725 and surrounded it with a remarkable garden. Plants from all over the world were brought to Nolhaga and grown under Alströmer's care. After his death, the estate went into slow decline. The railway contractor Claes Adelsköld, who had acquired the estate in 1877, had the dilapidated main building demolished in 1879-1880 and a new one built, a patrician villa in the Italian neo-Renaissance style, designed by the architect Adrian C. Peterson. Adelsköld's villa is now popularly known as Nolhaga Castle. The current park is largely due to Adelsköld's efforts. The area became open to the public when the city of Alingsås acquired the castle and park in 1921. Nolhaga Castle, which has recently been renovated, houses a restaurant.

The Alingsås "Health Path" (Hälsans Stig) is a lovely walk for everyone around Nolhaga along the river Säveån to Mjörn, Tallhyddan and Fågeltornet. North of Nolhaga Park, the path passes between rock walls. This gorge between the two wooded hills that form the Nolhaga nature reserve is called Klämma.

Pedestrians and cyclists can use the Mjörnvallsbron to cross the Säveån just before it flows into Lake Mjörn. The bridge connects the Nolhaga recreation area with the "Playa Mjörn" beach. The bridge is curved so high that the yachts in the river port of Alingsås and even the excursion steamer "Herbert" can pass under it. The side walls of the Mjörnvallbron are decorated with graffiti with nature motifs, including the work of art "Avem Organicum".
