Discover Lycke: Nature, Culture and Golf

Lycke offers visitors several distinct points of interest: nature at Tofta Nature Reserve, church history, rides on Icelandic horses and golf. These places and activities also differ in practical terms—from the walk to the bus stop to visits by appointment.

Tofta Nature Reserve

Bronze Age cairns lie on a ridge in Tofta Nature Reserve, between Kråkerösund and Myggstaviken. The area also offers varied, easy walks across cliffs and coastal meadows. The distinction is clear: the cairns provide a connection to cultural history, while the walks offer a way to explore the nature reserve on foot. The combination of finds on the ridge and walks across cliffs and coastal meadows brings cultural history together with active exploration of nature.

Church and History

Lycke Church is protected as a cultural heritage site. The original church was inaugurated in September 1827. This inauguration date offers a different historical reference point from the Bronze Age cairns in the nature reserve. For a culture-focused trip, there are therefore two distinct historical points of interest to choose from.

Horseback Riding and Golf

Stall Tofta offers rides on Icelandic horses through forests and along the coast in the area around Tofta Herrgård and Tofta Nature Reserve. This is a way to experience the landscape on horseback; unlike the walks, the focus is not on travelling on foot. Bookings and schedules may vary, so arrange your visit directly with Stall Tofta.

Lycke Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole course with a seaside/parkland character, designed by Johan Henrikson and Helen Alfredsson. Golf can thus be considered a distinct activity alongside walking and horseback riding: here, a course with its own classification; there, paths on foot or rides through the landscape. The number of holes and the course character give golf enthusiasts specific points of reference to compare with their own playing interests.
