Discover Skede: Church, Activity Park and Cycling Route

Skede combines cultural history with a variety of opportunities for active days. Skede Church, Skede Activity Park, the Skederundan cycling route and Skede Hembygdsgård, located along the Solgenån, give the village different facets.

Cultural history around Skede Church

Skede Church was built in 1834 and consecrated in 1837. It replaced a small, old and dilapidated medieval church. Skede therefore offers a tangible example of the transition from an older church building to a later house of worship. The history of the organ also makes the site interesting for visitors interested in cultural history: Skede Church's first organ was installed in 1835 in connection with the construction of the church. It was made by Sven Nordström in Elmeshult, Norra Solberga.

Another historical point of reference is Skede Hembygdsgård. It is located on the Solgenån river in the centre of Skede. The buildings were relocated there from various places in the municipality. Anyone interested in regional building and everyday history can plan this site as a separate item on their itinerary while also taking its connection to the village centre into account.

Active days at Skede Activity Park

Skede Activity Park offers several ways to make a stay varied. The playground includes, among other things, a climbing rock, a sandbox house, slides, swings and a zip line. The lawn provides opportunities for football and disc golf; it is surrounded by a cycling and walking path. Depending on your plans for the day, you can therefore switch between different activities without limiting the day's focus to a single pursuit.

The park also has a gravel pump track suitable for all ages and ability levels. For families with children of different ages, this mix can make planning easier: While some enjoy the playground together, the pump track offers another sporting option. The specific choice is left to the respective age, interests and abilities.

Skederundan along the Solgenån and Emån rivers

Skederundan is a cycling route that passes through Skede. It runs along the Solgenån and Emån rivers. This means that a stay in Skede can also be planned from a more active perspective. Those who enjoy cycling can include the route in their travel plans; those who want to combine culture and exercise can pair Skede Church or the Hembygdsgård with another day of excursions. This does not imply anything about the route's length, duration or difficulty, so your own plans for the day should be based on your personal preferences.

Choose Skede as your accommodation location

Skede is a suitable search term for different travel plans: The village centre with Skede Hembygdsgård appeals to those interested in cultural history, the Activity Park adds a family-friendly touch through its specific play and sports facilities, and the Skederundan complements the village with a cycling route connected to the Solgenån and Emån rivers. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore first decide whether historical discoveries, activities in the park or days of cycling should shape your stay. You can then check which holiday apartment or holiday home in Skede matches your preferences.
