Hassleholm

Travel Guide

Historic castles, leafy hiking routes, mythical caves, tranquil lakes and rich fishing waters is just a selection of the many features you will find in and around Hassleholm.

It's hard to imagine that this area once was riddled with Danish guerrilla "snapphanar" and Swedish soldiers during the Scanian Wars. Today the forests surrounding Hassleholm offer swimming, fishing and hiking, but the beautiful castles and mansions in the countryside still reveal the dramatic history of the region. Here you will find everything you need for a perfect holiday in Hassleholm.

The city of Hassleholm was founded relatively recently, as a central railroad hub in 1865, but just outside the city borders you will find Sweden's oldest settlement, where humans lived as early as the Stone Age. Continue your historic exploration at Vetterydshed, the largest and most well-preserved burial field in Scania, and finish at Hovdala Castle, a national treasure which has been awarded for its impressive restoration.

At the 14th century castle you can go on a guided tour, explore the castle grounds and park, enjoy locally produced traditional food in an atmospheric restaurant and stroll along one of the many hiking routes surrounding the castle. The kids will love the bat hikes organised in the evenings, where they can use bat detectors to spot the flying mythical creatures.

You will also find gorgeous nature and exciting tours in plenty of other places. Explore the hiking route Finjaleden, accompanied by a charming alpaca or a small Icelandic horse, who will join you in the tranquil forests of Scania.

The cave Tykarpsgrottan, only 7 kilometres from central Hassleholm, offers guided tours through the winding paths. Challenge your kids with cave orienteering! Tykarpsgrottan also hosts regular events, with everything from spooky ghost stories for younger visitors to whisky tastings for a more mature audience.

No trip to Hassleholm is complete without a tour of the city centre. Visit Hassleholms kulturhus for art exhibitions, film viewings, live music and workshops. In Hassleholm you will find plenty of signs of the town's strong military history. Find out more at Hassleholms Museum, which is run by four organisations connected to Hassleholm's military, fire department, technology and folklore society.

If you're after some relaxation during your stay in Hassleholm, why not visit a spa? In and around Hassleholm you can easily book spa treatments, but if you want a unique spa experience you should visit Radiumkallan in Tyringe. The waters here are said to have healing powers, and there are still locals who come here to get their water to drink. Green and lush Hassleholm lets nature take care of both body and soul.

"Överlag bra. Frukosten var helt fantastisk och all personal trevlig. Det mindre bra var att vi fick ett fläckigt badlakan i badrummet vilket kändes lite ofräscht, och extrasängen var väldigt väldigt hård!"
