Hisings Kärra: Swimming, Horse Riding and History

When looking for a hotel in Hisings Kärra, specific travel interests can help you choose. Swimming, horse riding, community life and history each offer a different focus. You can decide whether you want your stay to center on exercise, time at a farm, or architectural and industrial history.

Swimming and Training

Kärra simhall has two pools: a 25-metre pool and a teaching pool. Swimming training is also available. The facility also has a gym and a sauna. This brings together water-based exercise, gym workouts and sauna use. If you plan to make swimming a central part of your stay, the combination of two types of pool and the additional sports and sauna facilities is a clear difference from a stay focused mainly on history or horse riding.

Horse Riding and Farm History

Tolsereds 4H-gård offers horse-riding activities for beginners and experienced riders. The farm is home to horses, pigs, cows, rabbits, sheep, chickens and cats. Both the riding activities and the animals are worth noting: the place combines an active offering with the character of a farm. The surroundings are scenic and lush. The farm is located on a property built in the late 19th century. If you plan to visit by bus, Skimmelvägen is the nearest stop, served by route X2 towards Gerrebacka.

Church and Maritime Past

Kärra kyrka was built in 1920–1921 by a chapel congregation, based on designs by Theodor Wåhlin. The church and parish hall host activities and meeting places for children and adults during the day and evening. This brings building history and community activities together. A total of 179 ships and boats were built at Sverre Varv & Mek. Verkstad. The company’s engineers produced working drawings for Icelandic fishing vessels. The former spacious harbor basin can still be seen south of Angeredsbron. Shipbuilding, technical drawings and the visible harbor basin shed light on different aspects of the maritime past; the number of ships and boats built gives a concrete sense of its scale.
