Cycling routes, a historic Church Path and art in the forest offer different ways to experience Tived during a stay. There are also lakeside spots at Unden in Sannerud. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Tived, you can plan your days around your own interests: a bike ride, a path through narrow valleys and marshes, cultural history or time by the water. The routes have their own starting points and character; they do not need to be combined into a single itinerary. This lets you choose a base according to which aspect of the area interests you most.

Sannerud: Church, Cycling Routes and Lake

Tiveds kyrka is in Västergötland on the eastern shore of Lake Unden, at the southern end of the village of Sannerud. The nave was built in 1847, and the church is designed in the Neo-Romanesque style. One of the starting points for Tiveden’s 15-mil cycling route network is at the car park by the church. The network is part of a larger regional offering: cycling routes extend from Tiveds samhälle, several farms and tourist accommodations around Tiveden National Park. When planning, you can therefore distinguish between the starting point in Sannerud and other starting areas around the national park, rather than attributing all the routes to a single starting point. The Lilla Kungsleden also begins in Sannerud village; check the current trail signs and local conditions before setting out.

Art in the Forest and a Historic Church Path

Konst-i-ring starts at the old school building in Sannerud and runs through the forest as a combined art and exercise trail. The Kirchstig Tivedstorp–Sannerud has a different focus: it leads through narrow valleys and over marshes. On Sundays, this historic path was used for the return journey to and from church. The art trail centres on the connection between exercise and art; the Church Path’s character is shaped by marshes, valleys and its former use. The two paths therefore offer different themes to guide your outings.

Local History and Crafts

For local history, another highlight is Dammtorp: Tiveds Hembygdsförening has its local heritage farm in the village’s old school. The farm includes ten additional buildings, each with its own description on a sign. The site also has an activity house for weaving, handicrafts and various types of arts and crafts. Sannerudsmarken adds to the crafts theme with numerous arts and crafts vendors, as well as food and coffee. The focus differs: the heritage farm centres on buildings, descriptions and activities, while Sannerudsmarken features vendors and refreshments. This gives you different ways to explore local crafts.

Lakeside and Refreshments at Unden

At Unden, Sannerud has a small bathing beach and a harbour for small boats. The lakeshore adds a distinct focus for your stay to the forest and cultural themes. The return leg of the Kolarleden passes through Sannerud, where you can stop for coffee or a meal. This lets you combine the route with a break in the village. Tiveds Lanthandel och krog uses seasonal ingredients. The establishment runs a smokehouse in its backyard, producing wood-smoked pork belly and ham—a practice that has long been part of life in Tiveden. As the menu and service may change, it is advisable to check the current offering before your visit.
