Three clearly marked hiking trails start in the centre of Töllsjö; caves, a church with older furnishings and destinations around Lake Töllsjön complete the picture. If you are planning a stay, you can choose from options focused on nature, local history or activities by the lake.

Hiking trails starting in the town centre

The three hiking trails in Töllsjö start at Hembygdsgården in the town centre. They are clearly marked, pass through varied natural scenery and differ in length. They were created by Töllsjö Hembygdsförening. The shared starting point places all three trails in the heart of the town; their length is the specific difference between the routes. If hiking is a priority for you, you can therefore view the trails as options of different lengths and plan from a clearly identified starting point.

Church and historical traces

The present-day Töllsjö kyrka preserves older furnishings from the former church. The baptismal font dates back to the 13th century, providing a specific point of reference within the preserved furnishings. If you are interested in church history, you can connect the preserved objects with a specific date. The church is open for lighting candles and personal reflection in connection with services and the ringing of the bells for the dead. For visits at other times, contact the parish office.

Caves and Holmboborg

When looking for the caves, you may come across two names: Sjögaredsgrottorna and Töllsjögrottorna. Both refer to the same caves. They are located about one kilometre outside Töllsjö and are among the longest cave systems in Västsverige. Another historical destination is the remains of the medieval Holmboborg on the shore of Lake Töllsjön, between Bollebygd and Töllsjö. You can look for them with a little guidance. There are no signs at the barely visible remains; some guidance and sturdy footwear may be helpful when searching. The destinations also differ in location: the caves are outside Töllsjö, while the castle remains are on the lakeshore between the two towns.

By Lake Töllsjön and in Holmängen

A child-friendly sandy beach lies in a forest clearing by Lake Töllsjön. Boats on the lake can be rented through the fishery kiosk at Sjögared 22 in Töllsjö. If you are choosing between a beach outing and renting a boat, these are two different options around the lake; the rental point is located at Sjögared 22. In Holmängen, Töllsjö, there is an outdoor fitness park next to the Töllsjö IF clubhouse. Alongside the hiking trails, it offers a separate focus on outdoor exercise.

The differences between the destinations can help you choose: the hiking trails offer three length options, the church combines historical furnishings with the stated reasons for visiting, and Holmboborg is a place to search for barely visible remains. By the lake, there is a beach and boat rental, while Holmängen has an outdoor fitness park for exercising outdoors.
