Discover Krokom: Walking Trails, Culture and Böleviken Bathing Place

Krokom combines local life, culture and green walking trails with a special connection to the water. Anyone planning a trip to Jämtland who is looking not only for accommodation but also for a varied daily rhythm will find different points of interest here: paths through natural and green areas, cultural places in the centre and Böleviken bathing place with its stone and sandy beach.

Walking trails between green areas and the built-up area

There are three walking trails in Krokom’s urban area, located close to the built-up part of the town. They can be combined with one another or walked individually. This allows you to plan your days flexibly: you can choose a single trail or connect several sections without combining the walking trails into one single circular route. Parts of the trails pass through natural and green areas. Along the way, views open up over water, playgrounds and parks.

For families with different interests, this combination can be appealing because it brings exercise and discovering the town together. If you are travelling with children, you can take into account when planning that playgrounds are among the trails’ stated points of interest. At the same time, you remain free to choose whether you would rather plan a walk through green areas or combine several trails.

Krokom Church and cultural places

A prominent cultural landmark is Krokom Church. It is centrally located in the town of Krokom, near the railway station and railway, about 25 kilometres west of Östersund. The church was inaugurated on 8 September 2013. Krokom Church was also the first low-energy church in the Diocese of Härnösand.

There is also a detail with a local connection inside the church: a tapestry depicting animals is located in the choir of Krokom Church. The motifs were drawn by local schoolchildren and embroidered by women from the congregation. Anyone interested in regional design and community-created art can include this aspect in a cultural walk through Krokom.

In the centre is Magneten, a meeting place with a library, café and exhibition space. In spring and autumn, various events are held there once a week under the title Kultur på Magneten. Another address is Gamla Lanthandeln in Krokom, a living shop museum. Among other things, food and books from Jämtland are sold there. A visit can thus be combined with insights into local products and the history of commerce.

Water, beach and a different way to spend the day

Böleviken bathing place is located near the centre of Krokom. The bathing area has a stone and sandy beach as well as a larger grassy area. Simple changing rooms and a dry toilet are also available there. For your travel planning, this place offers a distinct focus alongside culture and walking trails: you can devote one day more to water and spending time outdoors, and on another day focus on the town centre, the church or Magneten.

Finding the right holiday apartment in Krokom

Which accommodation in Krokom suits your plans depends above all on which experiences are to shape your trip. If you particularly want to consider culture, proximity to the railway station and the centre, you can focus your search on the central part of the town. If walking trails, green areas or Böleviken bathing place are the main priorities, it helps to organise your planned daily destinations before choosing your holiday apartment. This way, you compare offers not only by the location of Krokom, but also by the character of your trip.

Krokom is therefore suitable for travel planning that brings different interests together: walks through natural and green areas, cultural discoveries, local products and time spent at Böleviken bathing place. When searching, check which location best supports your personal mix of local life, activity, culture and water.
