Discover Gnosjö

A trip to Gnosjö can bring together several specific interests: vibrant industrial heritage, hiking loops, mountain biking trails and a heated pool at Töllstorps Rehab & Relax. If you’re looking for a hotel in Gnosjö, you can start by planning your stay around your main interests. The hiking routes have specified distances, and the mountain biking area has several trails of varying lengths and difficulty levels. The museums focus on technological history and demonstrations.

Industrial museums and historic technology

Hylténs Metallvarufabrik is located in Gåröström, Gnosjö, and is now a living industrial museum. In 2005, it was named “Industrial Heritage Site of the Year” by Svenska Industriminnesföreningen.

Töllstorps industrimuseum is also a living museum: its waterwheels are still turning. It is also home to Gnosjö’s first automatic machine, dating from 1881. Traditional wire drawing is demonstrated there. In the same museum, you can see both a dated technological artefact and a traditional technique being demonstrated. Wire drawing demonstrations take place at scheduled events. The two industrial museums can be distinguished by their different features: Hylténs received the award in 2005; at Töllstorps industrimuseum, the waterwheels are still turning, and Gnosjö’s first automatic machine dates from 1881.

Another reason to visit is Gjutarnatta. Once a year, all production is put back into operation for this event. If you’d like to include Gjutarnatta in your trip, check the dates for your planned travel period.

Hiking and loops in Töllstorps fritidsområde

“Töllstorpasjön runt” is a hiking loop with two distance options: five or seven kilometres. The longer option includes the “Bergarundan”. When planning, you can choose between the shorter loop and an extended route; the difference is two kilometres.

Another loop is Gnosjöslingan in Töllstorps fritidsområde. It is two kilometres long, paved and close to nature. Compared with the five- or seven-kilometre “Töllstorpasjön runt”, it is a considerably shorter option. Its specified distance can help you gauge the scope of your planned walk.

Mountain biking and relaxation

Töllstorps fritidsområde has several mountain biking trails of varying lengths and difficulty levels. Spolen is the easiest trail. “Tråddragaren”, by contrast, is nine kilometres long, marked red and hilly. This gives you different points of comparison: for Spolen, its rating as the easiest trail is the key point; for “Tråddragaren”, it is the combination of distance, markings and hilly terrain. Since markings and trail conditions can change, check the latest information before setting out.

Töllstorps Rehab & Relax has a 12-metre heated pool with a water temperature of 32°C. If these dimensions and the temperature are important for your plans, confirm the details before your visit.
