Lindesberg combines exploring the town center with hiking, cultural and waterside experiences. The Lindessjön runt circular trail starts and ends in the center; a town tour takes you to nine interesting places, and the MS Råsvalen travels from the kyrkbryggan below Lindesbergs stadshotell along the Bottenån to Lake Råsvalen and back. Other attractions include the exhibition on industrial history and Badhuset Energikällan. When planning your visit, you can choose different priorities: outdoor activities, insights into the town and its history, or time at the swimming complex and on the water.

Hiking the Lindessjön runt Circular Trail

The circular trail is about eight kilometers long and can be started and finished in the center of Lindesberg. Along the way, the hike passes through the town, the countryside, nature reserves and a lake landscape. This means the route combines several types of scenery in a single loop rather than focusing on just one place.

The trail passes through the Näset and Tempelbacken nature reserves. Both offer abundant birdlife and beautiful birdsong. Those with a particular interest in birds and nature will find this a clear focus of the hike. There are also seven picnic spots along the trail where you can barbecue or enjoy a packed picnic.

Town Tours and Industrial History

The town tour through the center takes you to nine interesting places, presented with images, text and an audio guide. There are also guided town tours in the center, led by knowledgeable guides from Lindesbergs Hembygdsförening. The tours differ in how they present the town: one focuses on nine places with images, text and audio, while the other is led by guides.

The “Lindesbergs industrihistoria” exhibition is located in Bergsparken and presents local industrial history. Its subject matter includes objects, images and stories about the people, machines and ideas that have shaped Lindesberg. This gives it a different focus from the town tours: the exhibition centers on industrial history, while the tours explore several places in the town center.

Swimming, a Relaxation Area and a Boat Tour

Badhuset Energikällan, in central Lindesberg, has a leisure pool, swimming pools, a relaxation area and a gym. The relaxation area can be booked and includes a sauna, a steam sauna and hot tubs. You can tailor your visit to your interests: swimming pools and the leisure pool are available alongside a bookable area for sauna and relaxation.

The MS Råsvalen boat tour offers another perspective on your stay. It departs from the kyrkbryggan below Lindesbergs stadshotell, travels along the Bottenån to Lake Råsvalen and returns. The tour lasts about two hours, and the boat has room for 20 passengers. If you would like to plan a trip, check the tour dates in advance.

The difference between the two excursions is clear: Lindessjön runt is a hike through the town, the countryside, nature reserves and a lake landscape; the MS Råsvalen follows a route on the water. Town tours also offer a way to explore Lindesberg’s center, while the exhibition provides a distinct thematic perspective on local industrial history.
