The traditional MoMarken, the ancient oaks in the Ukreda pasture landscape and the Veteran Motor Museum give Österbymo several distinct points of interest. When planning your trip, it is helpful to first consider whether you want to travel for a recurring event or focus on nature, culture and activities.

Nature between Ukreda and Österbymo

Ukreda is within walking distance of Österbymo, south of Ydregården and next to Road 131. Many very old oaks grow in the pasture landscape, including some hollow trees with thick bark. In connection with its old trees, Ukreda is home to a rich variety of lichens. The lichens add another nature-related feature to the trees. In addition, the Urkredaeken oak in Österbymo extends over Road 131.

Market, Museum and Culture

The association holds MoMarken every year on the first Saturday in July in central areas of Österbymo. Food and drinks are also available there. Another recurring event is the Jätten-Bule Run: the race takes place in the forest around Österbymo on All Saints’ weekend. The contrast can help you choose when to travel: MoMarken is a market visit in July, while the race is a sporting event on All Saints’ weekend. If you are travelling specifically for an event, check its date in advance.

The Veteran Motor Museum is located just below Ydregården in Österbymo. Visitors can see older tractors, agricultural machinery, tools, bicycles, chainsaws and household items. The collection combines agricultural technology with tools and objects from everyday life. Every year, Ydre Cultural Centre offers cinema, theatre, musicals, concerts and study circles. In addition to performances, the annual programme also includes study circles. If you are interested in a particular offering, check the date before your trip.

Activities around Bulevallen

Bulespåret is a hilly, illuminated 2.4-kilometre trail around Bulevallen. In winter, cross-country ski trails are prepared on Bulespåret; football can be played year-round on Bulevallen’s illuminated artificial turf pitch. The seasonal options are therefore clearly distinct: ski trails in winter and football on the artificial turf pitch all year round.

Swimming Area, Fika and Getting There

Österby swimming area is in Österbymo by the Bulsjöån; Ydre Municipality maintains a jetty there. As maintenance may vary by season, check the condition of the jetty before planning a visit. Humle Café serves locally baked fika pastries. If you are planning to visit the café, check in advance whether it will be open on your chosen date. Österbymo is accessible by bus; as bus routes and timetables may change, check the service for your intended travel day.

If you are looking for a hotel in Österbymo, your reason for travelling can help guide your choice of dates. Those who want to experience MoMarken or the Jätten-Bule Run can plan their trip around the relevant event; those travelling without a specific event in mind can focus on nature, the museum or sports.
