1. Abborraleden
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 2 reviews
The Abborra footpath is our newest trail. It's quite short, only 1,2 km but with the outdoor gym it is perfect for a whole-body training experience. It's located about 5-10 minutes from the city center and is located beside the lake Hjalmsjon, and goes around the smaller lake Abborra. This trail is also perfect if you have a stroller or wheelchair. There is a BBQ area and off-leash areas for dogs.

The Abborraleden is just a small walk around a lake. It is 1.5km. There are many other marked routes in the area and they are definitely worth a visit.

It is yet another open-air museum depicting the days of yore. It consists of iron and tree museum and an old household part. The church ruins are near by. Nice areas to walk, there are horses around. There is a gift shop and a nice restaurant. The ticket is 20sek. It is not a must-see but can be interesting if you are passing by - make a break from a motorway ride and walk amongst some old buildings.

Can you believe there once were a castle on this tiny hill? According to the legend (and history books), a medieval castle was built at this location by the Danes to protect the borders. At the time it was built this part of Sweden was actually Danish.

Don't go there. It's just at pile of rocks situated in a residential area. We were there for 5 minutes. not worth the drive.
