Discover Hedekas

Hedekas is ideal for travellers who want to combine their stay with physical activity and experiences in nature. An approximately 2-kilometre-long illuminated trail behind the community centre offers a practical opportunity for walking, cycling and running. The landscape of Kynnefjäll provides another natural area, while the 48-kilometre-long Sörbygdenrundan enables a longer cycle tour. This allows travel planning to be adapted to different interests and the desired route length.

Illuminated trail for various activities

The illuminated trail in Hedekas is approximately 2 kilometres long and can be used by the public year-round. It is intended for walking, cycling and running. For you, this means that the route can be included in your plans whether you want to take a walk, go on a short bike ride or plan your running route. The lighting is explicitly part of the trail's described character.

When there is snow and suitable conditions, the trail is groomed for cross-country skiing. Once the ski track has been prepared, it may only be used with skis so that the tracks are not damaged. Anyone visiting Hedekas in winter should take this change between year-round use and the seasonal cross-country skiing rule into account when planning the day.

Cycling, boules and local activities

For a longer cycle tour, the 48-kilometre Sörbygdenrundan is the main attraction. The specific route length helps you distinguish this cycle tour from shorter activities on the illuminated trail. Hedekas is also a natural starting point for excursions in Sörbygden. This makes the town a useful reference point for travel planning in which not only a single activity but also the wider surrounding landscape plays a role.

Hedekas Boulehall has 4 indoor boules courts and 5 outdoor boules courts. If you would like to include boules in your trip, you can choose between different playing areas. Places for the Handlarrundan are booked by telephone through the Trogens Place shop in Hedekas. This information is important for planning if you specifically want to take advantage of this offering.

Kynnefjäll as a natural area

Several hiking trails on Kynnefjäll begin in Kasebo, a little north of Hedekas. Kynnefjäll is a plateau area: to the west, it is bounded by the depression of the Bullaresjöarna lakes, and to the east by the valley of the Örekilsälven river. The very soil-poor plateau is crossed by parallel rift valleys containing watercourses and, in many places, elongated lakes. This landscape gives hiking plans a clear geographical reference and complements the activities described more locally in Hedekas with a more expansive natural area.

Kynnefjäll is also part of the EU's Natura 2000 network. For those interested in nature, this classification provides an additional point of reference when choosing accommodation based not only on a single leisure activity but also on the landscape and possible excursion destinations.

Plan your time in Hedekas around your own interests

When planning your day, you can focus on activities in the town or on the landscape of Kynnefjäll. The illuminated trail and the boules hall represent different types of activities, while the hiking trails from Kasebo provide a separate starting point for experiences in nature. This keeps Hedekas as a destination with various possible focuses easy to plan.

For further orientation, you can also explore Hällevadsholm, Dingle, Valbo-Ryr and Munkedal. Hedekas remains an independent choice for anyone who wants to organise their stay around trails, cycle tours, boules and the landscape of Sörbygden and Kynnefjäll.
