Tierp can be explored through a wide range of interests: from the peaceful stretch of the canoe route on the Tämnarån to 20th-century church architecture, public art and sports facilities. When planning your stay, it helps to decide whether to focus on nature on the water and on foot, culture, or activities for children. This way, you can choose the focus of your stay to suit your interests.

On the water and by the wetland

The Tierp–Strömsberg stretch of the Tämnarån is 8 km long and peaceful. The canoe route is suitable for beginners, families with children and school classes. The launch point for this stretch is by the bridge in Skämsta, where parking is available. If you would like to paddle this stretch, this is a specific starting point to help you plan.

If you prefer to get around on foot, Banvallen in TämnarÅdalen offers a walk along a wetland and over a boardwalk to the Tämnarån. These are two different ways to experience nature: paddling along a peaceful stretch of river or walking through the wetland to the river. When choosing, you can consider whether you would rather be on the water or on foot.

Church architecture and art

Borgenkyrkan dates from 1976. Its architecture combines tradition and modernity in 20th-century Swedish church architecture. This makes it a specific point of interest for anyone interested in church architecture.

Kulturhuset Möbeln is opposite the station building in Tierp and 100 steps from the platform. The artwork UTE OCH FLYGER can be seen from Freedners torg. This gives culture enthusiasts two different points of interest: the cultural centre by the station building and an artwork that can be viewed from the square.

Sports and activities for children

Vegavallen in Tierp has an ice rink, football pitches and an athletics facility. There is an obstacle course for children next to Sagostigen. Sagostigen itself is an accessible, exciting and imaginative experience for preschool children. The activities thus differ by age and interest: the trail is specifically for preschool children, while the obstacle course is intended for children.

At Aspenbadet in Tierp, you can swim and bathe, as well as take part in courses and training sessions. Tierp Arena offers a different kind of activity: it is an outdoor arena for motorsports and major events. The Risk Course 2B is offered there as a theoretical and practical course that includes driving a car on a slippery surface. Swimming, sports facilities, motorsports and events thus add more possible focal points for your stay to the nature and culture options.
