Discover Höljes

When looking for a hotel in Höljes, you can start by considering the purpose of your stay. Specific reasons to visit include a dated rallycross competition, a north–south hiking route, fishing opportunities in various waters, and a heated outdoor pool that opens seasonally. Finnskogajätten also has a dated origin. These themes offer different ways to plan your trip: a set event date, a trail connection, various waters, or a seasonal swimming opportunity. Your travel dates and preferred activity may each play a different role in your choice.

Rallycross and Travel Dates

Höljes Motor Stadium hosted the third round of the FIA European Rallycross Championship, the Euro RX of Sweden, from July 3 to 5, 2026. This motorsport event is tied to a specific date in the past and may be important to you if motorsport is the reason for your trip.

The Nordvärmlandsleden between Höljes and Branäs

The Nordvärmlandsleden runs from Höljes in the north to Branäs in the south and passes through the Havsjöskogen Nature Reserve. The endpoints give the route a clear north–south direction, and the nature reserve is also part of the trail. If you consider Höljes as the northern starting point for your route planning, you can include the connection towards Branäs in your travel plans. Unlike the fishing opportunities across several waters, the hiking trail describes a route between two places. This allows you to consider route planning and an interest in specific waters as distinct priorities.

Fishing and Lake Höljessjön

Around Höljes, Norra Finnskoga FVOF offers varied fishing opportunities in lakes and flowing waters. The fishing area includes the Klarälven, the Höljan, and Lake Höljessjön. The offering therefore covers several named waters and is not limited to a single lake. Access to fishing is subject to the applicable fishing permit; take this condition into account in your plans.

Lake Höljessjön is about 12 kilometers long and is the regulating reservoir for Höljes power station. It is therefore one of the fishing waters mentioned and also serves a purpose for the power station. By comparison, Norra Finnskoga FVOF’s fishing offering covers lakes and flowing waters around Höljes. If you are interested in fishing, you can distinguish between a specific body of water and the broader offering.

Summer Swimming and Finnskogajätten

Höljesbadet is a heated outdoor pool in Höljes that is open only in summer. Plan for it as a seasonal option and check current opening information before your visit. Wood sculptor Lasse Kuparinen created Finnskogajätten in 1987. The artist and year of creation give the work a specific historical context. This offers a different perspective from the hiking route, waters, or summer pool: here, the focus is on the creation of a work of art. If art history is one of your travel interests, this adds a cultural aspect to the other themes.
