Mantorp: Motorsport, Equestrian Sports and Historic Impressions

Mantorp between Racing, Equestrian Sports and History

Mantorp offers travellers various points of interest: motorsport at Mantorp Park, equestrian sports at the Mantorp Hästsportarena, a skate park near Vifolkaskolan and historic traces at Veta Church. If you are looking for accommodation in Mantorp, you can therefore base your choice on which of these aspects of the town is intended to shape your trip. The attractions represent different travel interests and can initially be considered separately when planning your itinerary.

Motorsport at Mantorp Park

In the wider regional area, Mantorp Park is located directly along the E4 between Mjölby and Linköping in Östergötland. The race track has existed since it was founded in 1969 and is considered one of Sweden’s leading motorsport race tracks. Various forms of motorsport take place on the site, including racing, drifting, motorcycling and drag racing.

The format of the track days is also interesting for trip planning: at these events, beginners and experienced drivers can drive on the race track. This means the experience is aimed not only at spectators, but also at travellers who would like to try motorsport themselves. The specific event should be included in the relevant schedule; as a thematic focus, Mantorp Park makes the town a natural destination, particularly for motorsport enthusiasts.

Equestrian Sports and Active Days

Another defining facility is the Mantorp Hästsportarena. It is an arena for international-class equestrian sports and also an equestrian centre where equestrian sports can be practised and experienced. Those interested in horse riding will find an independent reason to travel here in addition to motorsport. When choosing a hotel, you can therefore consider whether attending an event or engaging with this equestrian arena should be the focus of your stay.

Mantorp also has a skate park at Vifolkaskolan. The park includes a mini-ramp area and a street/flow area.

Historical Reference: Veta Church

West of Mantorp, Veta Church is located along the road to Spångsholm. Its oldest parts date back to the 12th century. For visitors seeking historic impressions in addition to sports and events, the church adds a distinctly older connection to the character of the surrounding area.
