Discover Bergsjö

Bergsjö offers an interesting mix of landscapes, local culture and specific excursion destinations. A three-kilometre walking trail, wooded slopes with views, as well as historic buildings and local points of interest open up different possibilities for planning your trip. Depending on whether you are looking for exercise, culture or a relaxed exploration of the town, you can choose your accommodation in Bergsjö to suit your own daily plans.

Walking trails and landscapes at Bålleberget

For a manageable excursion, Bergsjö runt, a three-kilometre walking trail through Bergsjö, is suitable. You can include the route in your daily plans if you want to explore the town on foot while choosing a clearly defined route. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a more demanding landscape experience, Bålleberget has several steep sections. The ascent requires some effort and should be taken into account in your planning.

Old coniferous forest of spruce and pine grows on the eastern and southern slopes of Bålleberget. In the upper section of the steep slopes, there are views of Bergsjö and Storsjön. This creates two different nature experiences: The walking trail through Bergsjö represents a shorter route around the town, while Bålleberget, with its steep sections, forest and views, is more focused on the ascent. You can therefore decide according to your desired level of activity which landscape impression better suits your holiday.

Heritage park and regional history

Bergsjö Hembygdsgård is located at the heritage park in the centre of Bergsjö. The site includes Östigården, a family farm from the 17th century that acquired its present appearance at the beginning of the 19th century. Öststugan at Bergsjö Hembygdsgård is also the birthplace of Jon-Erik Öst. Anyone interested in rural history, buildings and regional figures can specifically include these sites and names in their exploration of the town.

Bergsjö kyrka also adds a cultural highlight: Its chancel wall is decorated with paintings by the artist Albert Blombergsson from the years 1845 to 1856. Travellers interested in paintings can include this detail in their exploration of the town.

Getting oriented in the town

Bergsjöparken is centrally located in Bergsjö at Stationsvägen 10B, above the bus station and the sports field. Bergsjö bio is located in the centre at Södra vägen 4. The library in Bergsjö is the main library of Nordanstig Municipality. The reception of the municipal building at Södra vägen 14 in Bergsjö is an InfoPoint with Wi-Fi.

These points of interest complement the natural and cultural destinations with concrete orientation points in the town. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house, you can therefore first consider whether you mainly want to get to know Bergsjö through walks, Bålleberget, the Hembygdsgård or the cultural sites. This allows you to align your choice of accommodation with your preferred travel theme without limiting the trip to just one activity.

Fishing waters as an additional part of your trip

If you would like to combine different interests during your stay, you can include the natural destinations, cultural sites and fishing waters separately in your planning.
