Discover Vaggeryd

Vaggeryd offers a range of things to see and do, including nature trails, activities at Hjortsjön and cultural and historical sites. Östermoskogen Nature Reserve is just outside the town limits; the Ecomuseum includes sites in the municipality of Vaggeryd. If you’re looking for a hotel in Vaggeryd, you can start planning your trip around what matters most to you: outdoor trails, lakeside recreation or culture.

Nature and trails in Vaggeryd

Östermoskogen Nature Reserve is just outside Vaggeryd’s town limits, on Road 812 and west of the Lagan River. The area has a cycling trail, hiking trails, parking, a fire pit and a shelter. This means the trails are complemented by practical facilities for spending time outdoors.

Friluftsgården in Vaggeryd also has trails, which are illuminated. The difference between the two places is clear: Östermoskogen offers a cycling trail and hiking trails, as well as parking, a fire pit and a shelter; at Friluftsgården, illuminated trails are the distinguishing feature. This makes it easy to compare the two destinations based on the type of trail and facilities that matter for your plans.

Recreation at Hjortsjön

Hjortsjöns badplats, a public bathing area, has a mini-golf course, a sandy beach and bathing jetties; beach volleyball is also available. There are several activities to choose from at the same bathing area: mini-golf and beach volleyball complement the options by the water. This combination is especially useful if you want to plan more than one activity for your stay.

Hjortsjöns camping is right next to the public bathing area. It is a family campsite where pets are welcome. The location connects these two named places without making them a single offering: the beach, jetties and recreational activities belong to the bathing area, while the family-campsite designation and the welcome for pets apply to the campsite.

Culture and history

The Vaggeryd Ecomuseum comprises around 100 cultural and historical sites in the municipality of Vaggeryd. These sites are marked with information boards.

Magnisa stuga is considered Vaggeryd’s oldest house. The house contains old photographs and objects from Vaggeryd and Götafors. Unlike the wide-ranging Ecomuseum, this is a single house featuring keepsakes from two named places. So, if you’re interested in local history, these two topics differ both in scale and in the kind of insight they offer.

Art Gate Glass has a permanent exhibition at Ängen Målen in Vaggeryd. This adds another exhibition focus to the cultural and historical sites. Check the exhibition’s current opening status before visiting.

An activity with scheduled dates

Vaggeryds Travskola holds events, including camps, at Vaggeryds Travet. If you’d like to include one of these activities in your trip, check the dates and registration details before you travel. This lets you plan for the activity without assuming a specific event date.
