Nature trails and hiking loops

Lidhultsåsen lies a few hundred metres south of Lidhult, between the lakes Ältasjön and Askaken. The nature reserve covers 18 hectares and has been protected since 1980. A trail from the swimming area goes around the reserve; it is suitable for jogging or walking. Askaken in Lidhult is a swimming area in Ljungby Municipality. Its location, protected status and trail offer different points of reference for exploring the natural area: you can take in the landscape between the lakes as well as go for a walk outdoors.

From Kränkeboda in Lidhult, boardwalks lead to several hiking loops ranging from 4 to 9.5 km. This distance range gives you a concrete basis for planning, while the trail by the swimming area focuses on a loop around the nature reserve. These options can therefore be compared based on their route types and stated distances.

Wetland landscape and cycling route

Årshultsmyren near Kränkeboda in Lidhult is a 1,500-hectare nature reserve with open bogs and marshes, wooded islands and nutrient-poor lakes. It is considerably larger than Lidhultsåsen, which covers 18 hectares, and its landscape is also different. Lidhultsåsen lies between Ältasjön and Askaken, while bogs, marshes, wooded islands and nutrient-poor lakes are defining features of Årshultsmyren. When comparing nature destinations, both size and landscape type can therefore help guide your choice.

Banvallsleden has a signposted alternative cycling route between Lidhult and Byholma via Vrå. As signage and route conditions may change, it is advisable to check both before setting off. This lets you include the cycling route as a separate option in your trip planning and take current route information into account.

Church and architectural history

Lidhults kyrka was built in 1878 by master builder P J Björklund. A wooden door from the old medieval church is on display inside; it is fitted with iron bands and large nails. The construction year and the door’s origin mark different historical points of reference: 1878 dates the church building, while the door comes from the old medieval church. The church therefore offers two distinct periods to consider: the building itself and an older item from its furnishings.

The old cemetery in Lidhult is a disused cemetery and historic church site of significant cultural and historical value. Lidhults Kvarn, together with its residential building, is among the structures of particularly high cultural value. These features can be distinguished thematically: the church and door connect the construction year with an older object, the cemetery represents the historic church site, and Lidhults Kvarn is a culturally and historically valuable building with a residential building.
