Rönninge: Swimrun, Art and Nature

When looking for a hotel in Rönninge, it helps to first determine the purpose of your stay. Local highlights range from the Rönninge Swimrun and art at the station and in the town centre to the natural surroundings and bathing areas at Uttran. This provides a clear basis for comparison when planning: the Swimrun courses differ in length, the artworks in location and material, and Garnudden and Möllebadet are nature and bathing destinations in the wider area.

Rönninge Swimrun: Start, Finish and Courses

The start and finish of the Rönninge Swimrun are at Toredalsvägen 15, by the Bubblan multisport facility. The event features a red, a green and a yellow course. Their lengths are approximately 2.1, 4.3 and 6.0 kilometres, respectively. Course length is therefore the concrete point of comparison between the three options; the figures are approximate. If the Swimrun is the reason for your trip, you can take the distance into account when planning and use the shared start and finish point as a fixed local reference.

Artworks at the Station and in the Town Centre

Rönninge’s artworks connect different materials and locations. The Rönninge station houses the sculptural installation “Handen som gör honnör”, made of painted wood veneer. “Mina paradisfåglar” is a public artwork at the roundabout in the centre of Rönninge. Linda Shamma created it in 2017 from sheet metal and glass. Among other things, these two works differ in their materials and locations: painted wood veneer at the station, and sheet metal and glass at the roundabout.

“Lotusblomman” adds a mosaic to the collection. It is located on the brick wall of a residential building in the heart of Rönninge’s town centre. The name is also a greeting to the water lilies in nearby Lake Flaten. This connection to Flaten thus complements the central location with a link to the lake.

Garnudden, Uttran and Möllebadet

The Garnudden nature reserve lies in the wider Rönninge area, by Lake Uttran. Reeds, cliffs and lakeside forests shape the landscape. The area also contains the foundations of the former Torps Garnudden. The landscape and these foundations offer different perspectives on the area: lakeside nature and a trace of history lie side by side. Garnudden can be reached from Rönninge by car, bicycle or on foot.

A footpath and cycle path to Möllebadet runs from Rönninge along the shore of Lake Uttran through Garnudden. Möllebadet itself is in Uttran and is the only public bathing area in Salem Municipality. It has jetties and a bathing ramp. For clarity, the destinations are distinct: Garnudden is the nature reserve in the wider area, while Möllebadet is the bathing area in Uttran.
