Discover Tibro: Nature, Craftsmanship and Active Days

Tibro combines a long tradition of woodworking and furniture craftsmanship with a variety of experiences in forests, green spaces and along the Tidan River. Those wishing to plan a trip involving culture, exercise and special activities will find various options here for organising their days. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can consider whether you would like to focus on walks, craft experiences or activities with children.

Experience Woodworking and Glassblowing

The history of the town can be explored at the Tibro Museum. It traces the development from small workshops to large-scale industrial furniture production. A particularly vivid feature is an authentic workshop from the 1920s. This gives the visit a tangible connection to Tibro’s long tradition of woodworking and furniture craftsmanship.

Another special place is Tibro Glasverkstad in the old railway station building. Visitors can try glassblowing themselves, receive guidance from glassblowers and then take their finished work home with them. This adds a practical experience to a museum or town visit and creates a personal souvenir.

Forests, Circular Trails and Traces of the Ice Age

For walks, the Tibro Gammelprästskog nature reserve offers a distinctive landscape with a deep stream ravine, marshland and old, tall coniferous forest with thick trunks. Those looking for a shorter route can plan the 2.1-kilometre Hälsans stig circular trail. It starts at the stage in Stadsparken, making it a clearly defined route for a walk.

Rankås and Prästberget also offer different experiences. Rankås features geological traces from the Ice Age. At Prästberget, you can walk through deciduous forest; the Prästberget hiking trail starts and ends at the car park of Örlenbadet campsite. These two destinations appeal to visitors who want not only to look at the landscape but also to gain a greater awareness of its formation and the different types of forest.

Green Spaces by the Tidan and Active Days

Ånaplan is a centrally located green area in Tibro on National Road 49. It lies on the Tidan River, directly west of Inredia, and has parking facilities, a playground and picnic areas. There is also a free 18-hole disc golf course along the river.

Tibro Actionpark is open 24 hours a day all year round and can be used with skateboards or bicycles. During the darker season, the lighting remains on until 11:00 p.m. A shorter alternative for disc golf is Fågelviksbanan, with nine baskets and mostly accessible design.

Ideas for a Trip with Children

At Tibro Mini-Zoo, visitors can get close to the animals and experience a rural atmosphere. A barbecue area is available for food brought from home. Depending on the preferred rhythm of the day, a visit here can be combined with a break in the green surroundings, while the action park, Ånaplan or a round of disc golf provide other forms of shared activity.
