Tandsbyn lies between Lakes Lockne and Näkten. Activities in Tandsbyn include hiking trails, illuminated cross-country ski trails, a cross-country running event and cycling events. The options differ in distance and type of activity, giving you concrete choices for planning rather than just one type of activity.

Hiking and winter trails

The hiking trails run around Tandsbyn. One named example is Kraterstigen: the trail is just over two kilometres long and runs around the Lockne Crater. If you want to choose a hike based on its length, this gives you a specific guide; other trails around the village add to the hiking options. Local hiking trails are also used in winter, as the Locknebygdens Snowmobile Club maintains them. When choosing winter activities, you can therefore distinguish between two categories: maintained hiking trails and local cross-country ski trails.

Ski trails and distances

Tandsbyns IF training routes include illuminated ski trails of 1 kilometre, 2.3 kilometres and 2.7 kilometres. This gives you three different distances, with the 1-kilometre trail being the shortest. In addition, a cross-country ski trail maintained by Tandsbyns IF starts at the sports ground and runs 9 kilometres to Löfsåsen. So the difference is not just the distance: the start and finish of the 9-kilometre route are also specified. Tandsbyns IF keeps the local cross-country ski trails open and groomed. The 9-kilometre route is considerably longer than all three illuminated trails.

Running and cycling events

TandsbyTrail is a cross-country running event that starts and finishes at Tandsbyns IP. Locknetrampet is a cycling event for the whole family around Lake Locknesjön; a shorter route is also available. Lockneklassikern combines cross-country skiing, running and cycling. The event formats range from a cross-country running event and a cycling event with a shorter option to a combination of three sports.

Geology in Ångsta

The Lockne Crater Meteorite Center is a museum in Ångsta. The Ögonfröjd exhibition features minerals, rocks and all of Sweden’s landscape stones. The Mini-Cosmonova and the geological exhibition offer insights into the impact of a twin meteorite 458 million years ago, a unique event. Visitors can learn more about geology and the origin of life on Earth. Ögonfröjd focuses on minerals and rocks, while Mini-Cosmonova and the geological exhibition explore the impact and the origin of life.
