Discover Stenhamra: Lake, Art and Cultural Trail

Stenhamra combines a landscape by Lake Mälaren with art, historic local surroundings and opportunities for exercise. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Stenhamra can plan their preferred travel rhythm around these different experiences: a day by the water, a visit to the library, a walk among old houses or an active outing in the countryside.

Water at Stockbybadet

Stockbybadet is located in the Stenhamra area on Långtarmen in Lake Mälaren. There is an approximately 50-metre-long sandy beach there. Stockbybadet is also bordered by jetties. This gives the waterside landscape a clear, distinctive character without requiring you to limit your stay to a single activity.

Local art in Stenhamra Centrum

A cultural highlight can be found in the centre: Galleri Granit is an open art wall in the library in Stenhamra Centrum. Visitors can experience local art or local handicrafts there. The offering suits a quieter activity between other outings and also makes Stenhamra interesting for travellers who want to get to know a place through more than just its landscape. When choosing accommodation in Stenhamra, you can therefore include art and exploring the local area in your daily plans just as you can time by the water.

Old houses and paths through the village

In Stenhuggarbyn, you can walk among the old houses or follow the cultural trail. These two options offer a different focus from a visit to Stockbybadet: instead of the waterside landscape, the surroundings of the village take centre stage. For a varied stay, a walk among the old houses can be combined with the cultural trail, while another day can be devoted to art or exercise. Your choice of holiday apartment should therefore suit how you would like to spend your days: with several short activities or with a single focus.

Lit trail and active breaks

The Uppgård elljusspår & utegym in Stenhamra includes a wide lit trail in gently hilly terrain. Anyone who wants to incorporate exercise into their stay will find a practical option for planning their day here. Borgenparken also has an outdoor fitness area next to a playground. If a playground is to be part of the day’s plans, this location can be combined with an active break. Two outdoor hard courts are situated in attractive surroundings near the centre of Stenhamra and add to the range of exercise options.

Stenhamra as a base for planning your trip

The different sides of the village support choosing accommodation according to your personal interests. Water and sandy beaches offer a different focus from local art, old houses or a lit trail. When looking for a holiday apartment in Stenhamra, consider which experiences you want to shape your trip and how much variety you would like to include in your days. For further planning, you can also look at Skå, Färentuna, Ekerö, Adelsön and Munsö.
