Kvicksund offers several distinct starting points for a stay: deciduous forest and traces of the Iron Age in Väsbyskogen, medieval heritage at Tumbo Church, and padel, a swimming area and boat rentals. Its proximity to Lake Mälaren is associated with an active summer and winter lifestyle. When choosing a destination, you can first ask whether landscape, history or activities by the water should shape your stay. The places mentioned provide concrete points of reference and cater to different interests.

Deciduous Forest and Traces of the Iron Age

Väsbyskogen is a deciduous forest area in Kvicksund. The area contains several archaeological remains from the Iron Age. Nature and history meet here at the same named location: the forest offers a landscape perspective, while the remains add a historical layer. If you would like to consider both landscape and older history when planning your trip, Väsbyskogen offers a concrete point of reference. These two aspects complement each other, without reducing the place to just one of these themes.

Tumbo Church and Medieval Heritage

Tumbo Church offers another historical perspective. The well-preserved medieval church is located in Tumbo Lillåsen, Kvicksund. There are six runestones beside the church. The old section of Tumbo cemetery is enclosed by a stone wall with two medieval portals. This brings together several distinct features: the church, the runestones beside it and the enclosure around the old part of the cemetery.

The historical themes in Kvicksund belong to different periods: Väsbyskogen contains remains from the Iron Age, while the church and portals in Tumbo are medieval. If you are interested in history, you can include two different eras in your plans, rather than focusing the cultural part of your trip on just one building or period.

Kvicksund Padel has a padel court with a view of Lake Mälaren; you can also rent rackets at the same location.
