Discover Hisings Kärra

Hisings Kärra combines a variety of experiences for days spent in the water, in nature and exploring local history. Kärra simhall has a 25-metre pool and a teaching pool. You can practise swimming there; the facilities also include a gym and a sauna. This allows you to add a sporting or relaxing activity to your travel plans without limiting your stay to a single excursion destination.

Family experiences among animals and landscapes

Tolsereds 4H-gård is an appealing place to visit. Horse-riding activities are offered there for beginners and experienced riders. The farm is home to horses, pigs, cows, rabbits, sheep, chickens and cats. The site is located on a farm built at the end of the 19th century and lies in scenic, lush surroundings. For families, this can be an interesting combination of encounters with animals, horse-riding experiences and a rural atmosphere. When choosing a suitable holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether your trip should focus more on experiences like these, physical activity or culture.

Getting to this experience can also be planned specifically: Tolsereds 4H-gård is accessible by bus. The nearest stop is Skimmelvägen, served by route X2 towards Gerrebacka. Another option for active days is Larseredsrundan. The route is 4.5 kilometres long from start to finish and can be reached from the east via Dammengläntan in Kärra.

Local history and cultural traces

Anyone who wants to get to know Hisings Kärra through its history will find several different points of connection. Kärra kyrka was built in 1920–1921 by a chapel congregation according to plans by Theodor Wåhlin. During the day and in the evening, Kärra kyrka and the parish hall host activities and meeting places for children and adults. This adds a cultural perspective centred on a place where community life plays a role.

Another trail leads to Sverre Varv & Mek. Verkstad. A total of 179 ships and boats were built there. The engineers also produced working drawings for Icelandic fishing vessels. South of Angeredsbron, the former spacious harbour basin of the shipyard can still be identified. These points of interest are suitable for visitors who, during their stay, want to consider not only current leisure activities but also a place's industrial past.

Everyday life and orientation

Hisings Kärra also has facilities for everyday organisation that go beyond mere excursion destinations. Biblioteksservice Kärra is located in Kärra Centrum; reserved books and other library materials can be returned and borrowed there. Lillekärrshallen can be booked through the city's e-service for finding available times and booking sports facilities. Such practical points of reference can play a role when choosing accommodation if you want to combine different daily routines.
