Ryssby at the northern end of Lake Ryssbysjön

Ryssby lies at the northern end of Lake Ryssbysjön. The lake, paths for different activities, cycling options and cultural sites offer several starting points for planning your stay. You can choose what to focus on depending on whether you want to include lakeside paths, a bike ride, activities in the town centre or a cultural destination.

Paths by Lake Ryssbysjön and in town

A scenic path by Lake Ryssbysjön is suitable for walking, jogging and cycling. Lindmarkersparken is a recreational area in the centre of town, right by the lake; it has a terrain course. The difference is useful when planning your day: the path accommodates three types of activity, while the terrain course is the specific activity offered in the park. You can use the activities mentioned to decide which of these two places better suits your planned stay.

Ryssby’s swimming pool has a 12.5-metre pool. Fishing permits for Ryssbysjöns FVOF can be purchased through iFiske. Check the current rules before fishing.

Cycling and routes

A cycle path connects Ryssby and Ljungby. There are also cycling routes and scenic forest loops in Ryssby. When planning a bike ride, you can therefore distinguish between a connection linking two towns and cycling or forest options in Ryssby; the specific focus of your ride can help you choose.

You can start the Trollrundan in Ryssby. This cycling tour follows smaller roads through forests and over ridges to places where legends about trolls and other supernatural beings arose from people’s everyday lives and work. If you are interested in these legends, the tour has a clear thematic connection.

The starting points of two routes are also specified: the Trollrundan can be started in Ryssby, while the “Ryssbysjön och Stensjön runt” route starts at Ryssby Church. The latter gives a specific starting point within the town.

Culture and location

Ryssby Church stands in the centre of town. Ryssby garveri is a protected historic building, and Sällebergs herrgård is also located in Ryssby. These three places offer different cultural points of interest: a centrally located church, a protected historic building and another named place in Ryssby.

Services are held every Sunday in Ryssby parish. If you would like to attend a service, check the parish calendar for the exact time.

Geographical orientation

Målaskogsberg Nature Reserve lies southeast of Ryssby. Together with the town’s location at the northern end of Lake Ryssbysjön, these give you two geographical reference points: the lake by the town and the nature reserve to the southeast. This helps you situate Ryssby in relation both to the water and to the surrounding landscape.
