Discover Kramfors: Culture, Trails and Nature

Kramfors combines local culture with trails along the water, nature experiences and regional features. The municipality of Kramfors is centrally located in the Höga Kusten region. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can therefore choose their preferred travel style based on whether they want to focus on cultural discoveries, walks, winter sports or excursions in the surrounding area.

Culture between church, glass and art

A notable cultural landmark is Gudmundrå Church. It was inaugurated on 27 September 1801, after construction had begun in 1799. The church also contains a medieval limestone baptismal font from the older church. For visitors interested in regional history and sacred art, this site offers a tangible insight into the development of the local cultural landscape.

The Sandö Glassworks Museum is located in the centre of Kramfors. The Kramfors Art Gallery focuses on something different: it presents contemporary art and handicrafts by professional artists. There is a new exhibition almost every month. This means that a stay in Kramfors can also be varied if, alongside nature experiences, you would like to discover contemporary art and changing exhibitions.

Trails along the Kramforsån and nature experiences

The 4 km Hälsans stig walking trail runs along the Kramforsån, through the Uttern/Vesslan residential area towards Flogsta and through the centre. The route offers a manageable way to add some exercise to your daily plans while experiencing different parts of Kramfors. There is an outdoor gym near the walking trail. Anyone who values combining a visit to the town with a walk when choosing accommodation can consider this trail as one of the visible reference points for their own planning.

When there is sufficient snow, a cross-country ski trail is laid around Kramfors IP in the centre of Kramfors. In the nearby Icktjärnsberget nature reserve, there are several circular walking trails and prepared cross-country ski tracks in winter. Fishing is also possible in the Icktjärns nature reserve near Kramfors with a fishing permit valid for 12 hours. This means that different activities are available depending on the season, without having to limit your stay to a single travel idea.

The surrounding area also includes Jättestabodarna. There you will find buildings from a summer farm, a small hay meadow and a shelter at a viewpoint. In the past, the village of Jättesta's livestock was brought to Jättestabodarna for summer grazing. The site's historical use is therefore just as much a part of its character as the preserved buildings and the landscape around the viewpoint.

Transport, seasons and a local speciality

Train and bus services are concentrated at Kramfors Travel Centre. It is the hub of public transport for the entire municipality and connects urban and rural areas with surrounding towns, municipalities and regions. Among other things, it offers seating, toilets and the opportunity to buy something to eat and drink. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore also consider how important good access to public transport is for your travel planning.

A local speciality on the culinary side of your stay is Kramforskaka. In Kramfors, this name refers to a chocolate slice cake. In Kramforsviken, there is also an insulated box with a lid that makes it easier to keep an opening in the ice open throughout the winter; a ladder makes it easier to get in and out there. These two examples illustrate the range between regional cuisine and seasonal activity.
