Holiday apartment in Nässjö – Nature, Art and Railway History

Nässjö combines expansive nature with an unusually visible history of art and railways. Höglandsleden is a 44 Swedish mile-long nature experience that extends across the entire Småland Highlands. Five stages of this trail pass through Nässjö Municipality. Höglandsleden is primarily intended for hiking, but it can also be cycled.

Nature and Trails

On Höglandsleden, the route passes through extensive forests, open fields, meadows, lakes and marshes. Along the trail there are shelters and overnight cabins; the trail is also signposted and marked in orange. Information is available for the individual stages about their lengths, as well as about arriving by bus or train, parking options, nature and culture along the trail, and shelters, lakes and rest areas.

Another focus is the Lövhult area. Hiking, cycling, disc golf and cross-country skiing are possible there. Lövhult Nature Reserve consists mostly of forest and also includes meadows and pastureland. Lövhultabäcken, along with smaller streams and brooks, runs through the area. Numerous marked trails, including some wheelchair-accessible trails, lead through the nature reserve; there are also shelters, fire pits and picnic areas.
