Rödeby brings together several themes for a stay: a long church history, trails through the landscape and winter sports options. If you’re looking for a hotel in Rödeby, you can first decide whether culture, outdoor activities or a winter focus should shape your trip.

Church and History

Today’s Rödeby Church was built in the Neo-Gothic style between 1875 and 1877. An older church, built sometime in the 11th or 12th century, previously stood on the site. Rödeby Church houses a carved oak altarpiece made by sculptor Åke Truedsson of Karlshamn in 1673. The construction period and the altarpiece point to different eras; together with the earlier church, they offer a way to trace the area’s church history through several stages.

Trails and Landscape

The trail network between Rödeby and Dackestugan at Skibacke includes a 3.0-kilometre illuminated trail; trail lengths range from 1.7 to 13.8 kilometres. There is also a 2.0-kilometre exercise trail at Mörtsjöåsen near Rödeby. This offers several points of reference when planning by distance: an illuminated trail of a fixed length, a range of trail lengths and an exercise trail at a separate location.

Near Rödeby, the Blekingeleden section from Mörtsjöåsen to Älmtasjön passes through hilly terrain with classic mixed forest, and by several larger lakes and smaller streams. The route’s landscape is defined by its varied terrain, forest and water. The Blekingeleden also passes Stora Havsjön, which is in the Mörtsjöåsen area.

Winter Sports in Rödeby

Rödeby ski slope is located in eastern Rödeby. It is 320 metres long, with a vertical drop of 61 metres; the facility has two ski lifts and a heated shelter. These dimensions and facilities give a clear idea of the scale of the ski area. The cross-country ski trails at Dackestugan in Rödeby and the associated snowmaking system are known as Rödeby Vintersportcentrum. Downhill skiing and cross-country skiing thus offer two distinct winter activities to consider when planning your trip.

Sports and Public Facilities

At Pulsen in Rödeby, visitors can play football, basketball, floorball, handball and volleyball, and take part in regular fitness and cardio training. As the activities may change, it’s a good idea to check before visiting.
