Discover Nässjö: Art, Nature and Railway History

Nässjö combines impressive urban art with railway history and a wide range of opportunities for active days. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Nässjö can shape their holiday around their own interests: activities include hiking, cycling, street art, exhibitions and a municipal swimming spot. This means you can decide while planning your trip whether culture, physical activity or a mixture of both should be the main focus.

Nature Experiences and Active Days

Lövhult offers forest walks, mountain biking, disc golf and a challenging obstacle course. These varied activities appeal to travellers who want to enjoy a diverse range of outdoor experiences. If you prefer following marked trails, the nature guide for the area around Nässjö features six routes in and around Nässjö. The routes are between just under 5 and 7.5 km long. This allows you to choose between several distances when planning your day without having to commit to a single type of activity.

The information points operated by the municipality of Nässjö provide practical guidance. Visitors can obtain maps and information there about hiking and cycling routes in Höglandet. When choosing your accommodation, it may therefore be helpful to first consider whether you mainly want to plan hikes, cycling routes or cultural destinations. Adela udde is the municipal swimming spot in the town of Nässjö. It has a barbecue area, a car park and a toilet. The location adds another opportunity to spend time outdoors to a day of travel.

Art and Street Art in Nässjö

Nässjö Konsthall is a platform for local, regional, national and international contemporary art. Each year, it presents 6–8 high-quality art exhibitions. The annual programme also includes artist talks, cultural evenings, lectures, concerts and workshops. If you do not want to plan your trip solely around scenery and physical activity, the Konsthall offers a range of cultural opportunities.

The city reveals another distinctive side through its street art. The street art walking tour uses a city map to guide visitors to the murals and conveys the stories behind these unique works. On the gables of buildings and along raw concrete walls, there are street art murals created by famous artists from around the world. New murals have become a tradition in Nässjö; almost every year, a new one is added to the collection. This allows you to combine a walk through the city with a look at changing works of public art.

Railways and Architectural Heritage

At the Nässjö Railway Museum, visitors can learn when the railway came to Nässjö in the 19th century and what significance it had for the town’s development. The nostalgia of travelling can be experienced there with electric, steam or diesel locomotives, as well as with a train from the 1960s. The museum complements the street art and exhibitions with a historical perspective on the town.

Nässjö kyrka also makes its own architectural statement. It was built from red brick in the Neo-Gothic style and designed by the Hagström & Ekman architectural firm in Stockholm. The church was inaugurated on 19 December 1909. Together with the Railway Museum, it forms a cultural programme that takes both local history and design and architecture into account.
