Gettjärn: Nature, Lersjön and community life

Gettjärn brings together nature around Gettjärnsklätten and community life at Lersjön. When planning a stay, these highlights are easy to distinguish: at Klätten, the focus is on protected-area status and the geological influence on the flora; at Lersjön, there is a swimming area and summer kolbulle evenings. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Gettjärn, these themes can help you choose a destination that suits your interests. The regular meetings of the Gettjärn-Hälseruds Byalag and directions to Länsmansnäset also add to the picture of the area. When choosing, you can consider whether nature, the swimming area or community life is most important for your stay.

Nature at Gettjärnsklätten

Gettjärnsklätten is part of the Natura 2000 network; at the same time, the hyperite rock, which is rich in lime, shapes its flora. This combines protected-area status with a specific geological influence on plant life. If nature is important to you when choosing a destination, Gettjärnsklätten offers a specific point of interest. The path to Gettjärnsklätten is closed because of numerous fallen trees, until the trees have been cleared. Its classification as a natural area and the current path closure address different questions: the first describes the place, while the second concerns access along the path. So check the current path status before setting out.

Lersjön: Swimming area and summer evenings

A scenic swimming area surrounded by forest lies at Lersjön, near Södra Viken Upper Secondary School. It is maintained by the Gettjärn-Hälseruds Byalag. Seasonal facilities may change; check their condition before your visit if needed. Every summer, the Byalag holds kolbulle evenings at Lersjön. The kolbullar are prepared and eaten on site over an open fire; the evenings also feature live music. The swimming area and kolbulle evenings therefore have different highlights: one is all about the wooded setting by the water, while the others focus on food and music. When comparing them by timing, it is important to note that the kolbulle evenings take place every summer, while seasonal facilities at the swimming area may change. If you would like to plan for a specific summer evening, check the dates before you travel.

Community life and local traditions

The Gettjärn-Hälseruds Byalag organizes activities for residents of Gettjärn and Hälserud and preserves local traditions in the Gettjärn-Hälserud area. Its work thus combines activities for residents of both places with the preservation of regional traditions. Gyda is the community hall where the Byalag meets regularly. This meeting place complements the events at Lersjön with a glimpse into the group’s regular activities.
