Trekanten: Activities and Local History

When choosing where to stay in Trekanten, three questions can help: Should activities shape your day, would you like to include church art and local history, or is getting to Kalmar important? Each of these has a specific local connection: activity facilities, S:t Olof’s Church and rural bus services to central Kalmar. This lets you plan around the experiences and journeys you want, rather than reducing Trekanten to a single holiday focus.

Activities in Trekanten

Trekanten has a lit fitness and activity trail, as well as an activity loop, for including exercise in your day. These are specific local facilities that you can consider as general activity options when planning. If you would like to include exercise, you can use these facilities to decide what kind of route interests you.

The mountain bike trail is close to Åvallen, which has football pitches and padel courts. There are also padel courts in Trekanten. A sledding hill adds to the options mentioned. You can distinguish between the facilities according to the kind of activity you prefer: general exercise, mountain biking, football, padel or sledding. If the sledding hill is a deciding factor for your stay, check in advance whether it is usable.

Church and art

S:t Olof’s Church in Trekanten was inaugurated as a chapel. It contains a painted altarpiece in the form of a triptych, created by artist Sven-Bertil Svensson from Mörbylånga. A triptych is a multi-panel artwork; this helps explain the form of the altarpiece even without prior knowledge of art history. The chapel’s inauguration and the specific artwork offer two ways to approach the church: through its history and through its art. If sacred art or church history is among your travel interests, you can consider S:t Olof’s Church as a cultural focus in its own right, alongside the activity facilities.

Station and bus to Kalmar

Trekanten has its own railway station. There is also a rural bus service from Trekanten to central Kalmar. These two details help with different planning questions: the station is relevant when considering travelling by train, while the bus provides a connection to the city centre. If Kalmar is part of your stay, you can include the bus in your daily plans; routes and timetables may change. So check the current bus service for your travel date. If you are considering travelling by train, check the current connections for that too.

Another local point of interest

A second-hand shop is located in Trekanten’s old railway station building. For travellers interested in local shops as well as activities and church art, it is another specific point of interest. This everyday place complements the picture formed by the activity facilities, the church and the connection to Kalmar.
