On Listerlandet, Hällevik combines the history of a fishing village with a nature reserve right next to the village, a sandy beach and outdoor pools. There are several ways to shape your stay: fishing and seafaring at the museum, trails in nature, time by the water or a festival in August. If you’re looking for a holiday rental in Hällevik, consider which of these aspects of the village you’d like to make the focus of your trip.

Fishing history at the museum

Hällevik is the oldest and best-known fishing village on Listerlandet. The Hällevik Fishing Museum was inaugurated in 1976 and features exhibitions, fishing equipment and photographs related to fishing and seafaring. The collection includes a wreck boat, three Blekinge boats, a wheelhouse and several engines from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here, you encounter the maritime theme not only in photographs and exhibitions, but also through actual boats and technical objects. The museum adds a cultural dimension alongside the village’s nature and swimming attractions.

Trails and views at Stiby Backe

The Stiby Backe Nature Reserve lies right next to Hällevik. Its highest point is 70 metres above sea level and offers views of the surrounding area. The reserve has hiking and riding trails for recreation and outdoor activities. Alongside the museum, this provides another focus for anyone who wants to spend time outdoors. Trail conditions can vary depending on the season, so bear this in mind when planning your visit.

Beach and outdoor pools

Hällevik Beach is a shallow sandy beach with a jetty. Facilities include a toilet and barbecue areas; there is also a designated dog bathing area, marked with signs and wooden posts. If you want to use this area, follow the markers. Facilities may change, so it’s a good idea to check current local information before your visit.

Hälleviksbadet has three heated outdoor pools. The water slide is 68 metres long, and there is also a playground and opportunities to play beach volleyball. If you’re deciding between the beach and the pool complex, compare their features: Hällevik Beach is defined by its shallow sand and jetty, while Hälleviksbadet offers heated pools, a slide and other leisure facilities.

Festival in August

The Hällevik Tradjazz Festival is an annual folk festival held every summer in August. If you’d like to plan your trip around the festival, check the specific dates for your chosen year. The programme may also change from year to year.

Cycling route through Hällevik

A cycling route that passes through Hällevik is approximately 45 kilometres long. This approximate distance refers to the entire route, not just the section in the village. As route conditions can change, check the route and conditions before setting off. This lets you take the cycling route into account as a separate planning point without confusing its total length with a local stretch.
