If you choose Hillerstrop for a stay, you can plan a mix of cycling routes, a marshland walk, canoe trips and disc golf. The options differ in character: one might focus on a route between places, another on a specific destination, a canal stretch of almost ten kilometres, or a round on a 9-hole course. Deciding what kind of outing you want first makes it easier to choose suitable activities.

Cycling routes with different destinations

Three cycling routes offer different directions for your plans. The Store Mosseleden cycling route runs between Värnamo and Hillerstrop. From Hillerstrop, one route leads to the Naturum visitor centre in Store Mosse National Park; another connects Hillerstrop with Flatenbadet. If you want to cycle between two places, you can use Store Mosseleden as a guide. If you prefer to head for a specific destination, consider the route to Naturum or Flatenbadet. This lets you choose your ride based on whether a connecting route or a single destination better suits your outing.

Marshland, pine forest and spruce forest

Store Mosse National Park is the largest marshland area in southern Sweden. Boardwalks let you walk through marshland, pine forest and spruce forest. Alongside the marshland, two types of forest offer distinct impressions to take in on a walk. The cycling route to Naturum and the boardwalks serve different purposes: one takes you by bike to a destination in the national park, while the others offer a way to experience the landscape on foot. If you include both activities in your travel plans, you can choose between a cycling route and a walk on boardwalks.

Canal and harbour

The Hillerstrop Canal passes through Lakes Flaten and Mosjön to Marieholm; the route is almost ten kilometres long. The canal is suitable for canoe trips between Marieholm and Hillerstrop harbour. You can consider the canal both for its course through the lakes and as an option for a paddling trip. At Hillerstrop harbour, there is a publicly accessible park area with places to walk, tables for outdoor dining and a barbecue area. If you are planning a canoe trip or want to use the facilities at the harbour, check local conditions in advance.

Disc golf in Hillerstrop

The disc golf course in Hillerstrop has nine holes and two different tee positions. The two tees provide different starting options on the same course. Use is free; you must bring your own disc. This makes both the size of the course and the equipment you need clear: bring a disc if you want to play a round.

Western theme and local art

High Chaparral is located outside Hillerstrop and is a Western town with shows, dancing, singing, music and food. This offers a different theme from cycling routes, marshland walks and canoe trips. In Hillerstrop, Berså is conceived as a tribute to local manufacturers. The artwork is intended to consist of thousands of metal objects made in the region, either now or in the past. Its concept draws attention to local manufacturing and connects it with an artistic tribute to the producers.
