Destinations

Husbyringen is well worth a visit. It is a 60-kilometer trail for hiking and cycling, full of nature and cultural attractions in beautiful environments. Along Husbyringen, you can visit a beautiful English-style park in Kloster, which was opened in 2019 after a major restoration.  Another popular destination is Stjärnsund, a well-preserved historical industrial site that has been given new life thanks to the work of local residents.
The Stadssjön nature reserve is an oasis close to the city with a 3.3-kilometer hiking trail that winds through scenic environments. The reserve is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all ages.
