Stenhamra offers several reasons to stay: water, local art, cultural walks and outdoor activities. When choosing the area for a trip, you can weigh these features according to what you would like to experience. The following features show how the offerings differ and which side of Stenhamra matters most for your plans.
Swimming spot on Lake Mälaren
Stockbybadet is in the Stenhamra area, on Långtarmen, an inlet of Lake Mälaren. The sandy beach is about 50 metres long, and jetties border the swimming area. The sandy bottom, approximate length and jetties give the swimming spot a distinct character. If spending time by the water is a priority for you, you can take these details into account when choosing where to stay. Swimming conditions may change, so check the current situation before visiting.
Art and culture in Stenhamra
Galleri Granit is an open art wall in the Stenhamra library at Stenhamra Centrum, where visitors can experience local art or crafts. In Stenhuggarbyn, you can walk among the old houses or follow the Culture Trail. The options for a cultural focus differ in the kind of experience they offer: local art and crafts in the library, or walks among old houses or along the Culture Trail. You can decide whether to give more weight to the art wall or to the paths and houses during your visit.
Trails and outdoor activity
Another option for outdoor activity is the UppgĂĄrd illuminated trail and outdoor gym in Stenhamra: it includes a wide, illuminated trail in gently hilly terrain. The width and lighting describe the trail, while the gentle hills describe the terrain; together, these features give it a different character from a culturally themed walk. Compared with the walks in Stenhuggarbyn, the focus shifts from old houses and the Culture Trail to the route and terrain. When choosing, you can consider whether cultural features along the way or the characteristics of the trail matter more to you.
More outdoor options
Borgenparken in Stenhamra has an outdoor fitness area beside a playground. Two outdoor hard courts are set in pleasant surroundings near the centre of Stenhamra. These places differ from the wide trail at UppgĂĄrd and the walking options in Stenhuggarbyn: here the focus is on facilities and courts, while those options focus on the type of route. For the hard courts, their location near the centre is a distinct point of reference; at Borgenparken, the fitness area and playground are distinguished by being next to each other. When comparing outdoor options, you can consider whether a facility, hard courts or a particular type of trail best suits your stay.
