Discover Storvik

Storvik combines nature experiences, sports and interesting cultural sites within a compact area for trip planning. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment can use the town as a starting point for a variety of day-trip ideas: in summer, the family-friendly Storviksbadet attracts visitors with heated outdoor pools and lawns, while the Hohällan Nature Reserve, the sports centre and several cultural destinations offer different points of interest.

Nature around Storvik

The Hohällan Nature Reserve is located 5 kilometres northwest of Storvik and covers 18 hectares. The Gästrikeleden hiking trail runs through the area. At the summit of the mountain, the nature reserve in the vicinity of Storvik offers a wind shelter and a fireplace for breaks. This makes it possible to focus a stay on the landscape and physical activity, without every trip having to follow the same rhythm.

The Näsbysjön lake, on which the area is situated, is also part of the landscape. A canal connects the lake with Lake Storsjön. This connection adds to the picture of a region where the nature reserve, hiking trail and bodies of water appeal to different interests. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you would prefer to focus your trip more on nature experiences or on the attractions directly in Storvik.

Outdoor swimming pool and sports centre

Storviksbadet is an attraction in its own right for warm days. The family-friendly facility has heated outdoor pools and lawns and is open in summer. If you enjoy combining active periods with relaxing hours on holiday, you can include this seasonal swimming destination in your plans.

Storvik's sports centre includes a ski stadium. It also has illuminated running tracks measuring 15 km and 10.5 km. The two routes offer a specific choice based on the desired distance; the lighting is explicitly provided as a feature of the facilities. The sports centre therefore suits a trip planned around giving physical activity a fixed place alongside nature and cultural experiences.

Church, axe factory and museum

Storviks kyrka stands in the middle of Storvik on a moraine hill covered with pine trees. It was inaugurated on the first Sunday of Advent in 1960. During school terms, the church is open on Wednesdays from 08:30 to 11:00. This specific time information is particularly important when planning a cultural morning.

Wetterlings Axe Factory also offers an insight into the region's industrial history. It was founded in 1880 by Sven Axel Wetterling and is one of Sweden's oldest surviving axe factories. Guided tours of the factory are available. In addition, the Kvarnbackens Teknik & Prylmuseum has a large, unique collection of technical objects and curiosities dating from the 19th century to the present day. This gives you a choice between local history, industrial tradition and technical specialities.

The right holiday apartment for your trip planning

Whether you mainly want to hike, swim, take part in sports or visit cultural destinations, the attractions mentioned offer different focal points for your stay in Storvik. A holiday apartment in Storvik can therefore be particularly appealing if you want to organise your days flexibly between nature, physical activity and sightseeing. The deciding factor is which of these experiences should shape your trip.
