Hiking and scenery around Lindesberg

The Lindessjön runt circular trail is about eight kilometres long. You can start and finish in the centre of Lindesberg. Along the way, the hike takes you through the town, rural surroundings, nature reserves and a lake landscape. Urban and scenic impressions come together on this route.

The nature reserves along the trail include Näset and Tempelbacken. Both offer a rich variety of birdlife and beautiful birdsong. The section through the reserves also draws attention to the natural surroundings along the way. There are seven rest areas along the circular trail where you can barbecue or enjoy a picnic you have brought with you.

Guided city tours and industrial history

A walking tour of the centre introduces nine interesting places through pictures, text and an audio guide. In addition, knowledgeable guides from Lindesbergs Hembygdsförening lead guided city tours in the centre. This gives you different options: a walking tour featuring nine places and accompanying media, or a guided tour. When choosing, you can consider which way of exploring the town you prefer.

The exhibition “Lindesbergs industrihistoria” is located in Bergsparken. It presents local industrial history; its exhibits include objects, pictures and stories about the people, machines and ideas that shaped Lindesberg. If you are planning a visit to the exhibition, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.
