Trolle Church: A rocky outcrop with its own character

Trolle Church is a rocky outcrop a few metres high, covered with old, gnarled pine trees. It is precisely this combination of rock and trees that gives the site its distinctive appearance.

The site is therefore suited to a deliberate change between movement and closer observation. After the walk, you can take in the shape of the rocky outcrop and its vegetation. Such small, specific destinations are helpful when choosing accommodation if you want to experience Rydsnäs not only as a place to stay overnight, but also through day activities at different paces.

Västra Ryd Church and the history of Östra Lägern

Västra Ryd Church stands on a rise not far from the southern shore of Lake Östra Lägern. Its elevated position provides a distinct contrast to the shore-side walking path to Trolle Church.

The history of the site also reaches far back: The first church at this location was built in the mid-14th century on the southern shore of Lake Östra Lägern. This historical context makes Västra Ryd Church an interesting destination for visitors who want to experience not only the landscape, but also explore the region’s older traces. The church can thus be included in a stay as a cultural focus in its own right.
