Discover Nittorp

Nittorp offers several reasons to stay: church and local history, hikes on the Jälmåleden, and opportunities for swimming and fishing. When looking for a hotel in Nittorp, you can start by considering which of these aspects of the village you would like to shape your stay. The places and activities below give you some specific options to consider.

Churches and different periods of construction

Nittorps kyrka was built in 1847 and designed in the Neoclassical style. Its medieval predecessor survives as a church ruin in the village of Nittorp. The church ruin near Nittorps stom was probably built in the 13th century. This makes it possible to distinguish chronologically between a 19th-century church and its medieval predecessor. Those interested in church architecture will find both a specific architectural style and an older ruin in Nittorp, connected to the history of Nittorps kyrka.

Hiking on the Jälmåleden

The 35-kilometre Jälmåleden hiking trail passes through scenic surroundings and by burial grounds dating from the Viking Age and the Iron Age. The route thus combines a longer hike with archaeological sites from different periods. Its length is an important factor when planning your hike. Nittorp is a starting point for the Jälmåleden, and there are plenty of parking spaces there. The nearest bus stop to the Jälmåleden in Nittorp is called “Industrivägen”. If you plan to travel by bus, check the routes and timetables before setting out.

Swimming area and fishing waters

There is a swimming area by Nygårdssjön with changing rooms, a toilet, a bathing jetty, a lawn, tables, benches and a barbecue area. Fishing is permitted in the waters of Nittorps FVO, which include perch, pike, roach, bleak and bream, among other species. The area includes Nygårdssjön, the Jälmån between Ods Kvarn in Dalstorp and Ryfors south of Nittorp, and Åsasjön. Nygårdssjön is therefore associated with both the swimming area and the fishing area. This is a practical distinction for planning: the swimming area refers to a place for swimming, while the FVO covers several named bodies of water.

When renting from Absolutnatur, a canoe, paddles, life jackets and information about sights are included. As the equipment provided may change, confirm which items are included when you rent.

Events and ice rink

Lillsjön sports hall serves as a venue for artists and other events. Hockey and public skating also take place at the ice rink. If you would like to plan your stay around ice skating, check before your visit whether it is available on your chosen date. This helps distinguish this possible activity from the year-round options of visiting the church, hiking and spending time by the water.
