Tving offers different possibilities for your stay: the history of Tving Church, the Jämsunda Nature Reserve and time at the Skärsjön swimming area. Start by deciding whether you mainly want to include local history, nature or water in your plans. This will help you weigh your day trips according to your interests and then consider which accommodation location and travel arrangements suit your stay.

Tving Church and the history of the area

Tving Church was built between 1841 and 1843 and inaugurated on 17 September 1843. The construction period and inauguration mark different stages: construction took several years, and the inauguration took place at the end of this phase. These dates give the church’s history a specific connection to the 19th century.

A medieval predecessor to Tving Church is believed to have been built around the year 1200. This approximate dating points to a much older chapter in the church’s history. Together with the 19th-century building, it offers a long historical perspective to bear in mind during a culturally focused stay.

The older part of Tving is also included in a regional cultural heritage preservation programme. This adds a distinct perspective on the older part of the village to the history of the church. You can consider these two aspects separately: the datable construction history of Tving Church and the preservation of Tving’s older section.

Jämsunda and Skärsjön: nature and time by the water

The Jämsunda Nature Reserve is in the parish of Tving, about 2.5 km south of Tving Church. This approximate distance locates the reserve in relation to a clearly identified landmark. If you want to include both the church and the nature reserve in your stay, plan the specific route separately and consult an up-to-date map.

The Skärsjön swimming area has clear water, a diving tower and a floating sun deck. These features give you specific details to consider when planning time by the water. As facilities can change, check their condition before your visit.

Planning your arrival and getting around

There are several daily bus services from Tving to Karlskrona and northbound. If you plan to travel by bus, check the timetable in advance for your specific travel dates and preferred connection. This will help you plan your journey around the actual departure times.

In the southern part of Tving, a footpath and cycle path runs alongside Route 122. If you plan to walk or cycle, take its location into account and check the current conditions before using it. Bus services and the footpath and cycle path offer different options: the bus for journeys to Karlskrona and northbound, and the path as infrastructure in the south of the village.

Choosing the right accommodation for your stay

Would you like to focus on church history, include the Jämsunda natural area or plan time at the Skärsjön swimming area? If you depend on a bus service, check whether the departure times work for your travel dates. For a stay with several different focuses, it may be helpful to weigh up your destinations and travel arrangements together before booking.
