Discover Svärtinge: Trails, swimming lake and concerts

If you are looking for a hotel in Svärtinge, it is worth considering the different activities that can shape your stay. Trails and green spaces, a child-friendly swimming lake, ski trails when there is enough snow, and concerts each offer something different. When planning, it is especially helpful to distinguish between a running trail, a hiking route, a day at the lake, and a possible winter activity.

Green spaces and trails

Skarsätter is a central green space and serves as Svärtinge’s city park. Walking trails and exercise trails lead from the Skarsätter area towards Svärtinge udde and Tingsbröten. For planning purposes, it is useful to distinguish between them: Skarsätter is the green space of the city park, while the trails lead towards two specific destinations.

Bergkulla trailhead is located north of Svärtinge, nearby. From there, you can take shorter or longer circular hikes through varied terrain. The different route lengths give you options when planning a hike. Bergkulla MTB-led is another route option and runs through the two nature reserves Trangölen and Orrkojgölarna.

Svärtinge’s elljusspår is 2 km long and relatively easy to run on its prepared surface. Its length and running conditions are clearly specified. Lovisebergsravinen is one of the hiking trails and paths in Svärtinge. If you choose your outings based on the activity, there is a measured running route and a named hiking trail to suit different preferences.

The Svärtingeuddeleden can be reached by bus route 410 to the Skarsätter stop. From there, the trail passes Svärtinge kyrka and follows a gravel road towards Svärtinge udde and Bonäsudden. The bus stop is a specific landmark to help you plan your journey. Check the public transport information before setting off.

Swimming lake and seasonal activities

In winter, Svärtinge SK lays ski trails on Svärtinge’s elljusspår when there is enough snow. Access to the ski trails therefore explicitly depends on snow conditions. This is a practical difference to bear in mind when planning, compared with running on the trail: ski trails are available only when there is enough snow.

Skarsätterbadet is a child-friendly swimming lake with a gently sloping sandy beach. The type of beach is a specific point to consider when planning a day of swimming. Jusjön is one of several forest lakes north of Svärtinge that have been stocked with rainbow trout and trout. A swim at the child-friendly beach and fish stocking in the forest lakes offer different experiences.

Church and concerts

Svärtinge kyrka was inaugurated on 18 September 1994. Skrikhult is a farm in upper Svärtinge that hosts concerts in a unique, intimate setting. Alongside the trails and natural landmarks, there is also a specific event venue and a historical date to consider. Check the event dates for your planned visit.
