Bollnas Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Book a trip to Bollnas if you want a holiday amid Halsingland's red farms, stunning nature and public festivals.

Choose a weekend package to Bollnas in the province of Halsingland, near River Ljusnan and Lake Varpen. Enjoy the fresh air when you stroll along the popular hiking trail Halsingeleden, or book a guided wildlife safari and go bear spotting. You can explore the woods further on horseback or in a dog sled. The town offers activities to suit visitors of all ages.

During your weekend trip to Bollnas you should make time to visit the UNESCO world heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Halsingland. These represent a timber building tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Explore the beautiful rooms and the unusually lavish banquet hall at Erik-Anders in Soderala, just east of Bollnas. There is a visitor centre, a lush and fragrant garden, as well as a cafe serving organic coffee and special cheesecake from Halsingland.

Go swimming in River Ljusnan if you need to cool off, or visit Karlslundsbadet if you prefer indoor swimming. In the pool there is a diving tower, a beach volleyball court and a cafeteria. Enjoy the 18 hole golf course at Bollnas Bangolfklubb. Make sure you visit Vevlinge strand, Skidtjarn and Björktjaratjarn if you like wild swimming.

BollnasEss is a recurring training event for those who want to hear inspiring lectures about sports and health, or try out new forms of exercise. Try a mixture of yoga, weightlifting and dance while you are here. All year round you can go swimming in Bollnas Sports Hall, where there is a gym and a relaxation center.

Attend various gigs and events in Langnasparken and make sure you stop by the child-friendly beach by River Ljusnan. There are music events for all ages and preferences, and as a bonus, you can see a game of rounders at Brannbollsyran, before you go dancing at the disco in the evening.

The main modes of transport are the reliable buses and trains. Some coaches stop in Soderhamn where you can transfer to Bollnas. From the train station in Bollnas you can walk to the tourist centre. Bollnas is as picturesque as it is pleasant, which makes it a great holiday destination for young and old alike.

"Enkelt, billigt och hundarna fick följa med. Vi skulle bara sova där och det gjorde vi mycket gott. Det gemensamma köket var välutrustat och fungerade alldeles utmärkt, speciellt då solen lyste och det fanns sittgrupper utanför varje hus."
