Discover Ljungbyhed

Ljungbyhed brings together several distinct reasons to visit: aviation and military history, activities involving railbikes and canoes, and nature watching. If you’re looking for a hotel in Ljungbyhed, these themes can help you choose a destination that suits your interests. The places and activities below range from historical exhibits to a combined tour on the water and by railbike.

Aviation History and Military Museum

The flight school timeline begins in 1927, when the newly established Air Force flight school took over Ljungbyhed. The flight school developed into Krigsflygskolan F5; it closed in 1998. The beginning, development and end of this institutional period can thus be traced through specific dates.

Ljungbyheds Militärhistoriska Museum features exhibitions about the activities, equipment and settings of army units. A section opened in 2016 traces the development of aviation in Ljungbyhed. This brings together the flight school’s history and broader military history exhibition themes. The museum was housed in the former military mess hall dating from the 1860s and in a barracks. If you have particular exhibition topics in mind, it’s worth checking the current exhibition information. The term military mess hall refers to a dining room for troops; the building’s former function adds an architectural perspective on military history to the exhibitions.

Railbiking and Paddling

The railbike route between Klippan and Ljungbyhed is 13 kilometres round trip. It begins at Stationen i Nybygget. The stated distance therefore covers the outward and return journeys, not just one way. This is distinct from the canoe and railbike tour from Ljungbyhed, which involves paddling to Forsmöllan and then returning by railbike.

At Rönneådalens Sport & Fritid in Ljungbyhed, you can rent canoes and kayaks. This gives you several different activity options: a railbike route with a stated total distance, a tour with a paddling section and return by railbike, and the option to rent canoes or kayaks. Check the latest rental details and tour arrangements before planning.

Nature in and around Ljungbyhed

Nybodammslingan starts at the car park by Ljungbyhed’s outdoor swimming pool. Nybodamm is visited by grey herons, Eurasian coots, goosanders and mallards, among others; a pair of swans also appears occasionally. This gives nature lovers a specific point of interest, while the trail’s starting point provides a useful reference for planning.

Nearby is the Skäralid entrance to Söderåsen National Park, between Röstånga and Ljungbyhed. Naturum Söderåsen is located at the entrance. Ljungbyhed also has an 18-hole heathland-style golf course in a natural setting. These varied nature and leisure attractions complement the historical themes and railbike and canoe activities.
