Tuna: Church, Bike Paths and Nature

Tumba Church in Tuna has a clearly articulated architectural design. Conditions for cyclists vary depending on the road. Tuna also has a pasture with a diverse range of trees. In the regional context, Tumba Bruk Museum presents the history of paper and Swedish banknotes. If you are looking for a holiday rental, these interests can help you align your plans with a suitable location in the area.

Tuna Square and the development of the area

The Tuna area was developed in the 1960s, near the cultural landscape of Tumba Bruk. A municipal description from 2025 described Tuna Square as a traffic-separated square framed by two low-rise buildings in the centre. There was a park area south of the square; the description also mentioned a lawn with a playground in the area. This picture is tied to a specific point in time: the existing buildings in the centre were later demolished. A municipal notice updated on 29 May 2026 provisionally scheduled construction to begin in autumn 2026. Before visiting, check the current project status rather than basing your plans on the square’s former layout.

Tumba Church: architecture and events

Tumba Church stands on traditional church land in Tuna and was completed in the early 1970s. Its architecture consists of a large church hall and two side wings. These three elements provide a concrete point of reference if you are interested in church architecture and the layout of a sacred space.

Visitor information updated on 7 January 2025 lists weekly services, lunchtime music and choir events. If you would like to plan your visit around these, check the current schedule. The Tuna stop is served by several SL bus routes; according to visitor information updated on 7 January 2025, it is about 60 metres from Tumba Church. Check the current stop information before travelling. There are four electric vehicle charging stations in the small car park in front of the church, available for staff, visitors and local residents. Check their current availability before travelling.

Routes, cycling and reference points

For Tuna Square, the Tuna stop on Tunavägen is about 100 metres west of the detailed development plan area; Tumba commuter rail station is about one kilometre from this area. These distances refer to Tuna Square, not to every address in the area. Footpaths along Prästgårdsvägen and Tunavägen lead to the detailed development plan area. Several pedestrian and park paths also lead there and can be used by cyclists.

Cycling arrangements vary depending on the road: on Tunavägen, cyclists use a separate shared pedestrian and cycle path, while on Övergårdsvägen they ride in mixed traffic. These details are documented in a 2025 traffic study and may change as a result of projects. Check the current route layout when planning your journey.

Nature and culture in the regional context

Tuna has a pasture with oaks, pines and aspens, as well as berry-bearing shrubs such as Oxbär and blackthorn. As another activity option, there is a skatepark in nearby Sven Tumbas Park. The two examples represent different interests: the plant life of a pasture and a place for skateboarding.

In the wider regional context, Tumba Bruk Museum presents the history of paper and Swedish banknotes, the work involved in producing them, and the distinctive setting of the paper mill. Those particularly interested in the architecture of Tumba Church will find a different subject there than at the museum; those who prefer industrial and monetary history can explore the museum’s exhibitions.
