Lundsbrunn: Healing Spring, Nature Trails and Spa-Town History

Lundsbrunn combines the history of a healing spring with gently rolling countryside, nature-focused excursions and special opportunities for relaxing as well as active holiday days. Agricultural land lies to the west, north and east of the village, while Lundsbrunn borders a woodland area to the south. These different landscapes provide a varied setting for your stay without requiring you to commit to just one type of holiday.

Healing Spring and Spa-Town History

The history of Lundsbrunn is closely linked to its healing spring and the spa town that developed around it. The spring was already known in 1724 as the best healing spring in Västergötland. Those interested in the development of spa towns and their historical significance will therefore find an unusual focus for planning their trip here.

Sörbodal is also part of this historical story. The building was formerly called Stora byggningen and is among the oldest hotel buildings in Sweden to have been continuously used as a hotel. Nova Spa offers day-spa admission. This allows you to vary the focus of your days between spa-town history, time at the spa and excursions into the countryside.

Walking through Mariedals

For walks and shorter hikes, the Sörboleden provides a clear starting point. The trail passes through the Mariedals Nature Reserve. There, you cross the meandering Mariedalsån on boardwalks and bridges. The Sörboleden loop through the nature reserve is approximately 3 kilometres long.

In the Mariedalsån Nature Reserve, the stream winds through a beautiful ravine. This gives the nature excursion its own character: the route leads not only through open countryside but also along a clearly defined stream and ravine landscape. The Lundsbrunn–Husaby pilgrimage route starts at Dala-Kvarn and adds another opportunity to explore Lundsbrunn from a quieter, trail-oriented perspective.

Golf, Cycle Path and Train Ride

There are also various options for active holiday days. Lundsbrunn Golf Course comprises an 18-hole course and a 9-hole short course. Its landscape combines open areas, groups of trees, woodland, ravines, ponds and small lakes. Those who want to experience different landscapes while playing golf will find more than one uniform open playing area there.

The cycle path between Götene and Lundsbrunn follows the former railway line and is approximately 6 kilometres long. This makes the route a specific cycling option to include in your travel plans. Another way to experience the surrounding area is a train ride along the scenic Skara–Lundsbrunn route: it is an experience for young and old alike.

An Excursion Destination for Different Age Groups

Lekstationen is a large playground in a green setting next to the railway station area in Lundsbrunn. For travellers with children, the precise design of the ground surface is particularly interesting: the surface throughout the entire playground is accessible, except in the “Don’t Touch the Ground” course area. This restriction is important to bear in mind when including the playground in your daily plans.

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, your preferred way of spending the day is a sensible starting point. Would you like to focus on the history of the healing spring and the day spa, explore the Sörboleden and Mariedals, play golf or combine different types of excursions? Lundsbrunn offers several clearly distinct themes for this.
