Abild – Church, Mossjön and Nature

If you are looking for a hotel in Abild, you can choose where to stay based on two distinctly different themes: the church, with its history and features, and Mossjön, with its landscape and fishing opportunities. Parks and forests in Abild parish and the surrounding area are another option. You can identify which of these themes matter to you by looking at the features of each place.

Church and cemetery

Abild Church acquired its present appearance between 1665 and 1675. Inside are the Thottska burial chamber and the Lilliehöökska burial chapel. The date places the church’s current appearance in context; the two burial places are another historical point of interest at the church.

Abild Cemetery is enclosed by a stone wall. The open, grassy grounds have two gravel paths leading from the gates to the church. Both the church interior and the layout of the cemetery are among Abild’s distinct cultural highlights.

Mossjön: landscape and fishing

Mossjön is in Abild, beside Route 150 between Falkenberg and Torup. Hills and trees frame the lake, whose landscape is shaped by several bays and islands. These features give Mossjön a different focus from the historical highlights around the church.

Mossjön is rich in fish, with plenty of pike and perch. Fishing is possible with a permit, and four boats are available to rent through Ifiske. Fishing and boat rental are two separate aspects to consider when planning. Check the latest information about permits and boat rentals in advance.

Park and woodland

Today, Hjulebergs gods in Abild parish is associated with the park’s enormous rhododendron bushes. The park offers a distinct connection to parkland, complementing the church and lake themes.

The southwestern part of Abild parish is characterized by flat land, while the north and east are hilly and wooded. This distinction by direction shows the variation in landscape within the parish.

The Sjöred nature reserve is in Falkenberg Municipality, on a slope beside Mossjön. An old beech forest grows down towards the lake. Here, the slope, forest and lake form a clear landscape connection.

The Skattagård nature reserve is in the area around Abild and can only be reached on foot via the Hallandsleden trail, which runs through the northern part of the reserve. As access information may change if the trail route changes, check the current route before your visit.

Putting places in context for your travel plans

Geographic location can also help with planning: Mossjön is in Abild, Hjulebergs gods is in Abild parish, and Skattagård is in the surrounding area. This lets you decide whether to focus your interests on the village itself, the parish or nearby nature destinations.
