Discover Segeltorp

When looking for a hotel in Segeltorp, the local attractions can help you narrow down your choice of destination: parks and playgrounds, ice skating, and the history of local water and road connections reveal different sides of the area.

Parks and Nature in Segeltorp

Palissadparken is a terraced playground in a sheltered location on a wooded slope. The park includes a small bamboo grove and several wooden animal sculptures in the shapes of a bear, fox and beaver. There is also a slide, a sandbox with play sand, balance equipment, a seesaw, a hammock, a swing and a playhouse. The site thus combines play equipment with distinctive design features.

Palissadparken is partially accessible and has paved walking and cycling paths. The Gömmaren nature reserve borders Segeltorp to the south. Alongside the landscaped parks, this provides a protected area on the southern edge of the area as another geographical feature.

Kråkparken offers benches and picnic tables by the lake, a barbecue area and several places to sit. This park is also partially accessible. It is easy to reach from the nearby road and from the footpath along Långsjön. For navigating the paths, there is a clear distinction: Palissadparken has paved walking and cycling paths, while Kråkparken can be reached from the nearby road and from the footpath along Långsjön. Both parks are partially accessible.

The two parks have different strengths: Palissadparken brings together play equipment and design features, while Kråkparken offers places to sit and picnic by the lake. You can choose based on whether the playground or a break by the water is your priority.

Ice Skating on the Lake and Indoors

Långsjön lies east of Segeltorp, where there is a 1.6-kilometre ice-skating loop. Public skating sessions are also offered at Segeltorpshallen. This lets you choose between the loop on the lake and public skating sessions indoors. Check the seasonal schedule for the rink separately if you are planning your visit around it.

Water Pipelines and Former Road Connections

The area's history also offers insight into the connections between Segeltorp and the cities of Stockholm and Södertälje. In 1903, large water pipes were laid underground in Segeltorp, intended to carry water from Norsborg to Stockholm. The waterworks cottage housed the worker who monitored the underground pipelines between Norsborg and Stockholm.

Another connection was Gamla Södertäljevägen: before the E4 motorway was built in the 1960s, it connected Stockholm and Södertälje. These two stories represent different types of infrastructure: an underground water pipeline intended to supply water, and a historic road connection between the cities.
