Lesjöfors offers several specific points of interest for a stay: the museum presents the history of the former industrial community, while Lesjöfors kyrka adds a cultural perspective with its wooden construction. Outdoors, the Troll hiking trail, a canoe route and, in winter, skiing are the main attractions. These different themes help you explore Lesjöfors through its culture, outdoor activities or seasonal offerings.

Industrial history at Lesjöfors Museum

Lesjöfors Museum presents the history of the former industrial community. Among other things, visitors can see a fully furnished kitchen from the 1950s and 1960s. The museum’s recreated settings add to this insight and include a living room, an office and a school. The kitchen provides a specific link to the period, while the other rooms depict different aspects of everyday life. Anyone interested in local history will find several vividly furnished rooms here. There is free parking right next to the museum.

Lesjöfors kyrka: wooden construction and interior

Lesjöfors kyrka was inaugurated in 1971 and is built of wood. Much of the interior features exposed wooden walls. Wood therefore shapes both the construction and the interior itself. For visitors interested in culture, this offers a different way to explore Lesjöfors from the history of the former industrial community presented at the museum.

A forest hike with a troll theme

The Path of Trolls is a hiking trail in Lesjöfors that winds through the forest and is dedicated to trolls. Here, a specific activity and a clearly defined theme come together: a forest hike and a troll theme. This makes it different from both a museum visit and the canoe route. The trail is of interest to travelers who want to combine a hike with a storytelling theme.

The 15-kilometre canoe route

The Lesjöfors–Vintersjön canoe route is 15 km long and starts in the south of Lesjöfors, at the northern end of Lesjöforsälven. Its length and starting point give this water route a clear outline. It differs from the forest trail both in the activity and in its explicitly stated distance. For trip planning, this allows you to compare two different outdoor activities: a themed hiking trail and a 15 km canoe route.

Winter sports in Lesjöfors

In winter, Lesjöfors has a slalom slope with a cafeteria, as well as free cross-country ski trails. Two different winter sports are available: slalom on the slope and cross-country skiing on the trails. The trails are free of charge, and the cafeteria is part of the slalom slope. These activities add a seasonal focus. When choosing your travel dates, you can consider the winter activities as a reason in their own right to visit the area.
