For a trip to Falköping, city walks, culture and landscapes can be organized around different interests. In the centre, Hälsoslingan offers three distances; there is also a pilgrim trail divided into three stages, trails in a nature reserve and special museum exhibits. This lets you treat a stroll, a hike or a cultural visit as a focus in its own right.

City walks, a pilgrim trail and paths into the nature reserve

On Hälsoslingan in the centre of Falköping, you can choose 4, 6 or 8 kilometres. These distances make the available route options clear. Pilgrimsleden Falköping–Varnhem is organized differently: the pilgrim trail runs between Falköping and Varnhem and is divided into three stages. This means that three route lengths on Hälsoslingan are set against the stages of the pilgrim trail—two different ways to plan your hike.

Several walking and cycling trails lead from the urban area of Falköping to the Mössebergs östsluttning nature reserve. There are also several trails and paths within the reserve. This distinction is useful for finding your way: the trails from the urban area lead to the reserve, while the paths within it offer their own ways to explore the surroundings. Parts of the nature reserve are included in the European Union’s Natura 2000 network.

Mösseberg and distinctive landscapes

Mösseberg is just a few minutes from the centre of Falköping. The Mössebergsbacken ski area is on the slopes of Mösseberg and offers a view of Falköping. These are two different points to consider when planning: Mösseberg’s proximity to the town centre and the view from the ski area on the slope.

The Vråhålan nature reserve offers a different kind of landscape. It is a wedge-shaped rift valley with tall broadleaf forest, cliffs, deep rocky ravines and a sweeping view. Rare orchid and moss species are also among the area’s distinctive features. If you choose nature areas based on their described features, here you can take in both the geological formation and the forest, rocks and plants.

Cultural attractions in the centre

Falbygdens museum is in the centre of Falköping. There you can see Hallonflickan in the form of a unique reconstruction of her face; the find of an ancient dog is also on display. These two exhibits give your museum visit a specific focus: a facial reconstruction and an archaeological find.

S:t Olofs kyrka is also in the centre: the church is at Storgatan 13, near Stora torget. This gives you two named destinations for a cultural visit, both located in the town centre—the museum and the church. The church’s address also provides a clear point of reference for planning your visit.

Odenbadet as a destination in its own right

Odenbadet is accessible by car, bus, train or bicycle. Its family swimming and water play area includes a whirlpool with a water gun, a champagne pool, bubble benches, a slide and a paddling pool. If you include Odenbadet in your travel plans, you can weigh a visit against the other priorities for your stay based on these specific facilities.

Whether you plan to focus your time on city walks, hikes, landscapes, culture or Odenbadet, the destinations listed offer different starting points for your plans.
