Trekanten: Exercise, sports and local history

The town offers tangible ways to enjoy exercise and sports, explore local history, and travel to the centre of Kalmar. These highlights raise different questions when choosing a destination: Which activities interest you, and would you like to include Kalmar in your travel plans?

Exercise and sports in Trekanten

An illuminated fitness and exercise trail and an exercise loop are among the ways to stay active in Trekanten. The fitness and exercise trail is worth considering if you are specifically looking for an illuminated exercise option; the exercise loop adds another option to the selection. This lets you make exercise a focus when planning your stay.

Trekanten has an MTB track for cycling. It is close to Åvallen, where there are football pitches and padel courts. This makes it possible to compare mountain biking and court sports as distinct options: the MTB track is for cycling, while Åvallen brings two more specific sports into the picture with football and padel. If you would like to include several activities in your travel plans, this distinction can help you weigh your interests in Trekanten more precisely.

There is also a sledging hill among the local options. It adds a winter focus to the sports and exercise activities. The options range from the exercise trail and cycling to court sports and sledging.

S:t Olofs kyrka and local history

S:t Olofs kyrka is also a point of interest in the town’s history. It was inaugurated as a chapel. Inside is a painted altarpiece in the form of a triptych, created by the artist Sven-Bertil Svensson from Mörbylånga. This brings together two distinct aspects: the church’s history and a specific work of art.

A triptych is a three-panel artwork. The term helps explain the form of the altarpiece. If you are interested in history or church art as well as sports when choosing a destination, S:t Olofs kyrka offers a distinct cultural focus.
