Discover Tumba: Paper History, Art and Walking Trails

If you’re looking for a hotel in Tumba, your trip’s main focus can guide your choice of destination. Tumba combines a rich paper-making history with public art, park walks and other walking trails. The following places offer different attractions. You can weigh up whether industrial history, a single work of art or time outdoors matters most to you.

Cultural History and Art

Tumba bruk was established by the Swedish Riksbank in 1755 beside a waterfall on the Tumbaån. At Tumba bruk, the Riksbank produced banknote paper in-house. The exhibitions at Tumba bruksmuseum explore the history of paper and banknotes, the manufacturing process and the distinctive character of the mill. The combination of its founding, banknote paper production and exhibition themes makes its industrial history a clearly defined cultural focus.

The artwork Mellanrum offers a different focus. Four tall stones stand in a gentle curve at the edge of a green space in Tumba. One of the openings is large enough for a person to stand in. The work can therefore be described in terms of both its silhouette and its curve and opening. Mellanrum foregrounds form and arrangement, while Tumba bruk can be explored through its paper-making and industrial history. These provide two distinct cultural points of reference when choosing your destination.

Walks and a Park

At Hågelbyparken, visitors can stroll through the large park and visit a 4H farm. These are two different options: the walk focuses on the park, while the farm visit focuses on a specific place within Hågelbyparken. You can therefore include the park in your travel plans as a green destination for a walk, or make the farm an additional focus, depending on your interests.

Two walking trails also offer different thematic focuses. Aspen runt is a walking trail in Tumba with archaeological remains; trail conditions may vary seasonally. Sjöslingan is a walking trail in Vinterskogen Nature Reserve, in the Tumba and Vårsta area. Trail conditions here may also vary seasonally. The main point of interest on Aspen runt is its connection to archaeological remains, while Sjöslingan is associated with the nature reserve. If you choose walks based on their surroundings, these offer two different points of interest.

Other Places to Visit and Finding a Hotel

Tumba racket och motion has a shop, a café, showers and a sauna. So, alongside history, art and walking trails, the area also offers this specific venue and its facilities.
