Discover Tyringe: Forest, Activities and Culture

Tyringe combines nature-oriented activities with an interesting local history and a diverse cultural scene. Anyone planning a trip with walks, runs, exhibitions and historical discoveries will find a variety of options for planning each day. When looking for a holiday apartment in Tyringe, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to experience the forest landscape, sporting activities or the cultural side of the town.

Forest Trails and Activities in Sanatorieskogen

Sanatorieskogen has been known as a retreat for sanatorium guests and Tyringe residents since the Tyringe Spa and Bathing Establishment was built in 1896. Today, exercise trails are among the features shaping the experience there. Three trails, opened in 1987, are intended for walks or runs and are 5, 7 and 10 kilometres long respectively. The different lengths allow you to adapt your daily plans to your preferred distance without deriving a specific walking time from them.

The Tyrs Hov arena is also located in a natural setting. Several exercise trails run through the beech forest of Sanatorieskogen and through Bödkaredalen. In the vicinity of Tyringe, Stenberget also offers beech forest, significant changes in elevation and views across Lake Finjasjön. Those who enjoy being active can take these varied landscape impressions into account when choosing where to stay.

Sport and Cultural Discoveries

The Tyrs Hov Sports Centre is not limited to a single sport. Its facilities include an ice rink with ample spectator seating, a sports hall, bowling, wrestling, as well as indoor football and indoor athletics. This complements the outdoor paths and trails with options that are independent of the weather. For families with different interests, this can be a useful consideration when planning days together, without everyone having to choose the same activity.

Tyringe’s culture can be discovered in various ways. The Tyringe Museum presents the history of the town from the construction of the railway in 1875 to the present day. The museum is also accessible digitally around the clock on a phone, computer or tablet. Tyringe Church has featured stained-glass windows by the artist Hugo Gehlin since 1950. The art gallery at the Tyringe library presents a new exhibition every month in cooperation with the Tyringe Art Association; once a year, it also presents works by members of the Tyringe Photography Club.

History, Art and Special Local Details

With the construction of the railway line between Hässleholm and Helsingborg in 1875, Tyringe developed into a railway town. This development is one of the themes that help explain the character of the town. Another historical detail is Radiumkällan in the southeast of Tyringe. It lies in a deciduous woodland area characterised mainly by mature beech and oak trees. The spring received its name because radium was once considered beneficial to health. The historical significance of this belief should remain separate from any health claims made today.

At Tyringe konsthall, a meeting with the exhibiting artists takes place on the first Monday of every month. After a presentation lasting around 20 minutes, visitors can enjoy coffee and cake, view the art and talk to the artists. Perssons Café offers another historical connection: in connection with the Tyringe Museum, the venue is associated with the writers Artur Lundkvist and Gordon Lindh, who once sat there.

The Water Landscape Nearby

The area around Tyringe offers suitable additions to your travel plans. In Västra Torup, just outside Tyringe, the 1.6-kilometre Torupasjön circular walking trail runs through the area and is partially accessible. Mjölkalånga bathing area is located nearby, on the western shore of Lake Finjasjön. If you would like to include lakes as well as forest trails and culture in your plans, you can consider these destinations as separate excursion options.

Which Location Suits Your Trip?

Tyringe lies west of Hässleholm. Good connections by Pågatågen trains make the town of Hässleholm easily accessible. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can therefore focus on the mix of experiences you want from your trip: in Sanatorieskogen and the natural area around the Tyrs Hov arena, activities and landscape experiences take centre stage, while the museum, church, exhibitions and meetings with artists provide cultural highlights. Accommodation in Tyringe is therefore particularly appealing if you do not want to consider nature experiences and local history separately.
