Krokom combines walking trails near the built-up area with cultural sites in the centre and a swimming area close to the town centre. You can choose different focuses when planning your visit: time among green spaces, by the water, or at exhibitions and local cultural events. The three walking trails can be explored individually or combined. The church, Magneten and Bölevikens badplats offer further specific destinations for a stay in the town.

Walking Trails and Green Spaces

The three walking trails in Krokom’s built-up area are close to the developed parts of town. They can be explored individually or combined. Some sections pass through natural and green spaces; along the way, there are views of the water, playgrounds and parks. This makes it easy to choose a route based on how long you would like to walk: you can include one loop in your day or link several trails together. The trails share their proximity to town and green spaces, while the water, playgrounds and parks offer different points of interest along the way.

Culture and Local History

Krokom Church was inaugurated on 8 September 2013 and was the first low-energy church in the Diocese of Härnösand. A tapestry featuring animal images hangs in the choir. The motifs were drawn by local schoolchildren and embroidered by women from the community. The date of the inauguration marks a specific milestone in the church’s history; the tapestry draws attention to its collaborative creation and animal motifs.

Magneten is a meeting place in central Krokom with a library, café and exhibition space. The Kultur på Magneten series includes various events in spring and autumn, held once a week. Check the dates before planning a specific visit. Another cultural venue is Gamla Lanthandeln, a living shop museum. Among other things, it sells food and books from Jämtland. Various art and photography exhibitions are shown on the upper floor of the former inn at Gamla Lanthandeln. Krokom therefore offers a range of cultural activities, from the shop museum and products from Jämtland to exhibitions and events.

Bölevikens Swimming Area

Bölevikens badplats is close to the centre of Krokom. The bathing area has a stone-and-sand beach and a large grassy area. Basic changing rooms and a dry toilet are also available. The combination of beach and grass provides different areas for spending time by the water. The swimming area is another way to spend the day alongside walking or cultural activities.
