Ottebol: Ny kyrka, Disc Golf and Fishing
Accommodation in Ottebol
Ottebol offers plenty of ways to enjoy a stay focused on culture and the outdoors: Ny kyrka is located on Lake Nysocken, and there are also guided fishing trips, a woodland disc golf course, and a cycling route with distinctive landscape features.
Ny kyrka and cultural history
Ny kyrka is located on Lake Nysocken, west of Arvika; its address is Ottebol, 671 91 Arvika. The present church building was constructed of red brick in the Neo-Gothic style between 1887 and 1889. Its construction period, style, and materials offer concrete ways to appreciate the church as a cultural and historical site.
A memorial stone erected in 1896 marks the site of the former wooden church. This adds an earlier chapter of the church’s history to the story of the present building. The stone marks the site of the wooden church; the construction period of 1887–1889 applies to the present Neo-Gothic brick building.
A 14th-century Madonna image also comes from Ny kyrka; it is now housed at SĂĄguddens Museum in Arvika. For travelers interested in culture, this creates a contrast across time: the image dates from the Middle Ages, while the present church building was not constructed until the late 19th century. The church and the artwork thus represent different eras, even though the image comes from Ny kyrka.
Fishing, disc golf, and cycling
Arvika Discgolf Park in Ottebol has a woodland course with 18 baskets. These details make the offering clear if you are considering including disc golf in your travel plans. Course details may change, so check the latest information before visiting.
Arvika Adventures in Ottebol offers guided fishing trips on Lake Nysocken. This gives you a choice of two activities with different characters: disc golf on a woodland course or a guided trip on the lake. If you want to plan your stay around a particular activity, you can use these differences to help shape your itinerary.
The Gunnarskog/Ottebol cycling route passes lakes, open fields, and farmland. Its focus is therefore on the landscapes along the route rather than on a single building or sporting activity. It offers a different experience from visiting the church, playing the disc golf course, or taking a fishing trip. The lakes, fields, and farmland provide concrete clues to the landscapes that define the route.
