Sunhultsbrunn by Söljen – historic spa town and local history

Sunhultsbrunn lies by Lake Söljen and is a historic spa town. The lake, the surrounding landscape and local history offer different perspectives on a stay and give you various ways to get to know the destination.

Söljen and the surrounding landscape

A 2005 landscape assessment identifies wetlands (50 percent) and coniferous forest (28 percent) as predominant in the area around the lake. These proportions describe the area surrounding the lake. For orientation, you can keep two points distinct: Sunhultsbrunn lies by Söljen, while the figures for wetlands and coniferous forest refer to the surrounding area. This keeps the town’s location distinct from the description of its surroundings. The assessment thus assigns wetlands a share 22 percentage points greater than that of coniferous forest; together, these two landscape types account for 78 percent of the described area around the lake.

For the 2026 bathing season, Söljen was classified as having excellent water quality in the 2025 classification. If you are planning a day of swimming during your stay, check the official bathing water page before swimming. The quality rating explicitly applies to the specified bathing season.

Spa history and Frinnaryds Hembygdsgård

Frinnaryds Hembygdsgård is located in Sunhultsbrunn. The main building is the former residence of the district judge’s official residence at Dagstorp. Several buildings on the grounds have cultural-historical value. These are two distinct points: the former residential function relates to the main building, while the cultural-historical value applies to several buildings on the grounds. If you are interested in local history, the Hembygdsgård is a specific point of interest.

Seasonal events and practical planning

A flea market is held on the grounds of Frinnaryds Hembygdsgård every year on the first Saturday in July. If the market is important to your trip, confirm the date for the relevant year before your visit. This recurring event can help you plan your travel dates in advance.

For anglers, the sale of fishing permits for Söljens fvof at Sunhults Gästgiveri is a practical planning detail. Check the place of sale again before fishing. When Sunhults Gästgiveri reopened previously, it had a pizzeria, a restaurant open at lunchtime and a small hotel with six rooms.

There are two different points of reference for planning your travel dates: the water quality rating applies to the 2026 bathing season, while the flea market takes place on a recurring date in July. Thus, the focus at Söljen is a season, while the market is tied to a specific calendar day.

If you are looking for hotels in Sunhultsbrunn, you can first decide what matters most to you: the lake and landscape, local history or the flea market date. Then tailor your search to your travel dates.
