Discover Nässjö: Street Art, Railway History and Nature

A trip to Nässjö brings together a wide variety of themes: forests and outdoor activities, art in exhibition spaces and on building walls, and the history of the railway. This variety helps you tailor your stay to your own interests.

Nature and Outdoor Activities

Lövhult offers forest walks, mountain biking, disc golf and a challenging obstacle course. These bring together different forms of physical activity: a walk in the woods alongside cycling and more sports-focused activities. The challenging obstacle course offers a different kind of experience from a forest walk.

The nature guide to the area around Nässjö includes six routes in and around the town. They range from just under 5 to 7.5 km in length, giving you a concrete range to compare the described hiking options by distance. Visitors can get maps and information about hiking and cycling routes in Höglandet at Nässjö Municipality’s information points. As services may change, check in advance which information points currently provide this guidance.

Art at the Konsthall and in the City

Nässjö Konsthall is a platform for contemporary art from local, regional, national and international perspectives. It presents 6 to 8 high-quality art exhibitions each year. The annual programme also includes artist talks, cultural evenings, lectures, concerts and workshops. The exhibitions are complemented by other formats that explore art and culture in different ways.

You’ll encounter street art on building gables and along bare concrete walls. The murals were created by famous artists from around the world. A walking tour, guided by a city map, leads to the artworks and shares the stories behind these unique murals. The collection gains a new mural almost every year. While the Konsthall presents changing exhibitions, street art shapes the cityscape across its many walls.

Railway History and Architecture

At the Nässjö Railway Museum, visitors can learn when the railway arrived in Nässjö in the 19th century and how it influenced the town’s development. This theme connects railway history with the development of Nässjö, offering a historical perspective on the town.

Nässjö kyrka offers a different historical perspective: built from red brick in the Neo-Gothic style, it was designed by the Stockholm architectural firm Hagström & Ekman. The church was inaugurated on December 19, 1909. The two themes invite different kinds of exploration: the museum focuses on the railway’s importance to the town’s development, while the church offers a chance to consider its architectural style, materials and design.

A Municipal Swimming Area

Adela udde is the municipal swimming area in Nässjö. It has a barbecue area, a car park and a toilet. Alongside the nature and culture attractions, it offers another way to explore Nässjö according to your interests.
