Discover Tierp: canoeing, culture and leisure

Tierp combines nature experiences, culture and sporting activities. If you’re looking for hotels in Tierp, these different highlights offer a starting point: Would you like to be out on the water, walk through a wetland, or focus on culture and leisure? Options range from a peaceful canoe route on the Tämnarån to church architecture, art and swimming. You can tailor your trip planning to your interests.

Canoeing and trails along the Tämnarån

The Tierp–Strömsberg section of the canoe route on the Tämnarån is 8 km long and peaceful. The Tämnarån canoe route is suitable for beginners, families with children and school groups. The launch point for this section is at the bridge in Skämsta, where parking is available. The distance, nature of the route and starting point provide practical details for planning a canoe trip.

If you’d rather explore on foot, Banvallen in TämnarÅdalen offers a walk alongside a wetland and over a boardwalk to the Tämnarån. The trail thus leads from the wetland to the river, while the canoe route is a water-based activity. This gives you two different nature experiences to choose from when planning your trip: canoeing or a walk by the wetland and along the boardwalk.

Activities for children and sports at Vegavallen

The Sagostigen trail by Vegavallen in Tierp is an accessible, exciting and imaginative experience for preschool children. There is an obstacle course for children next to the Sagostigen. Families can choose between an imaginative trail aimed at preschoolers and the obstacle course for children. Vegavallen also has an ice rink, football pitches and an athletics facility. The options at this location therefore range from activities for children to facilities for various sports.

Culture and art in Tierp

Borgenkyrkan in Tierp dates from 1976 and combines tradition and modernity in 20th-century Swedish church architecture. Its year of construction and architectural character offer two different perspectives on the church. Kulturhuset Möbeln is opposite the station building in Tierp and 100 steps from the platform. The artwork UTE OCH FLYGER can be seen from Freedners torg. The station building is a useful landmark for Kulturhuset, while the artwork is visible from the square.

Motorsports, driver training and swimming

Tierp Arena is an outdoor arena for motorsports and major events. Risk Course 2B combines theory and practice; the practical part includes driving a car on a slippery surface. This makes for a clearly defined driver-training option alongside the motorsports offering. At Aspenbadet in Tierp, you can swim, bathe and take part in courses and training sessions. Motorsports and driver training at the arena therefore offer a different focus from swimming and courses at Aspenbadet.
