Krokom: Walking Trails, Culture and Bölevikens Swimming Area

Krokom offers several distinct options for a stay: walking trails near the built-up area, Krokom Church, the Magneten cultural centre, the Gamla Lanthandeln shop museum and Bölevikens swimming area. These destinations appeal to different interests: exercise, culture and time by the water. If you’re planning a trip, you can start by considering which of these aspects of Krokom matters most to you.

Walking Trails in the Built-Up Area

The three walking trails in Krokom’s built-up area are close to the town centre. You can walk them individually or combine them. Parts of the trails pass through natural and green spaces; sights along the way include water, playgrounds and parks. You can choose to walk a single trail or include several in your stay. The different surroundings and viewpoints give you specific options for choosing the kind of walk you’d like.

Krokom Church

Krokom Church is centrally located in the town of Krokom, near the railway station and railway line, about 25 kilometres west of Östersund. It was inaugurated on 8 September 2013 and was the first low-energy church in the Diocese of Härnösand. The choir features a tapestry with images of animals: local schoolchildren drew the designs, which were embroidered by women from the parish. This detail links the design of the church interior to a specific story of how it came about locally.

Meeting Places and Culture

Magneten is a meeting place in the centre of Krokom, with a library, café and exhibition space. Under the title Kultur på Magneten, various events are held once a week in spring and autumn. If you’d like to include a particular event in your stay, check the dates in advance.

Gamla Lanthandeln in Krokom is a living shop museum. Among other things, it sells food products and books from Jämtland. Various art and photography exhibitions are shown upstairs in the former inn next to Gamla Lanthandeln. The shop museum, sales and exhibitions reflect different aspects of the place, from goods from Jämtland to art and photography.

Bölevikens Swimming Area

Bölevikens swimming area is close to the centre of Krokom. It has a pebble and sand beach, as well as a larger grassy area. Facilities include basic changing rooms and a dry toilet. In contrast to the cultural venues, the beach and green space here offer a different focus. The facilities mentioned can help you plan practically if you’d like to include the swimming area in your plans.

Plan Your Hotel Search Around Your Interests

When searching for hotels in Krokom, you can set a simple priority: would you like to explore the walking trails individually or in combination, focus on cultural venues, or include Bölevikens swimming area? These differences can help you organise your stay around your own reason for travelling, rather than giving every theme equal weight.
