Discover Lycke: Nature, culture and active days

Lycke offers several specific points of interest for travellers looking to combine nature experiences with cultural history. Tofta Nature Reserve brings together Bronze Age remains and easy walks; in Lycke, the protected church and a studio add a cultural dimension. Horse riding and a golf course offer further ways to enjoy active days.

Tofta Nature Reserve: nature and prehistory

Bronze Age cairns lie on a ridge between Kråkerösund and Myggstaviken in Tofta Nature Reserve. The same protected area also offers varied, easy walks across cliffs and coastal meadows. Travellers looking to combine nature and history in one itinerary will find two specific points of interest here: walking and the Bronze Age remains. You can therefore include Tofta in your plans as a nature and history destination; the cairns and walks offer different reasons to visit.

Walking, horse riding and golf

For a different kind of activity, Stall Tofta offers rides on Icelandic horses. They take you through forests and along the coast in the area around Tofta Herrgård and Tofta Nature Reserve. Bookings and times may vary. If you plan to go on a ride, it is best to confirm your booking and schedule in advance. Compared with walking, the focus shifts: horse riding takes you through forests and along the coast, while the walks in the nature reserve lead across cliffs and coastal meadows. This lets you choose activities according to the kind of movement you prefer.

Another active option is Lycke Golf & Country Club. It has an 18-hole Seaside/Park course designed by Johan Henrikson and Helen Alfredsson. The number of holes and the course category give the golf offering a clear profile; the course adds a dedicated activity option to the choice between experiencing nature on foot and going horse riding.

Cultural history and design in Lycke

The original Lycke kyrka was inaugurated in September 1827. Lycke kyrka is also protected as a church cultural heritage site. The inauguration date and protected status relate to different aspects: the date is part of the history of the original church, while the protected status designates Lycke kyrka as a cultural heritage site. Alongside experiences in nature, this provides a specific cultural and historical point of interest for planning your trip.

Another point of interest for design enthusiasts is the Sasioglu Design studio at Gulskärsvägen 14, 442 75 Lycke. Visits are by appointment. If you are interested in design, you can include the studio as an additional stop in your plans and arrange your visit in advance.
