How did one travel between Borås and Göteborg during the 18th century/early 19th century?
Post Body
Today, it takes 45 or so minutes to drive between Borås and Göteborg on Riksväg 40. Considering that Borås was a sizeable town by 1700, it makes me wonder what the path between Göteborg and Borås looked like during the 18th century. Were there several "roads" between the two cities? Did they go through other settlements (like Bollebygd)? How long did it take to reach Göteborg from Borås? Are there any contemporary accounts of travelling on this path?
