The cycle tour will take you through the old cultural landscape, full of beautiful fruit trees that are covered in spectacular pink blossom in the spring. The tour is 8 km and follows narrow asphalt roads. The trail, which is signposted at junctions, passes old cultural sites and fruit orchards and offers the opportunity to enjoy locally produced food and drink as well as a coffee or lunch break by the shore of Lake Åsnen.
From here, there are captivating views of parts of Åsnen archipelago. The view from Lunnabacken is one of Åsnen’s must-sees! The community centre organises various activities during the year, including real traditional Midsummer celebrations.
Kurrebo
Kurrebo is a colourful place with cultivations and a breathtaking view of Åsnen’s island world. It has a café and vegetarian restaurant, exhibitions, a shop with plants, local products and art. Accommodation available in youth hostel and B&B.
The windmill was built in the 1890s but destroyed in the Christmas storm of 1902. It was rebuilt in 1958 and then restored in 1987. Next to the mill there is a well-preserved cist grave, a type of grave that was commonly used more than 2000 years ago. Nearby there’s also a presumed ‘ättestupa’ (precipice from which senicides and suicides too place).
Hwem old church site
Here the first churches or church in Urshult, which was then called Hwan, once stood. A single remaining stone serves as a reminder of the oldest cemetery, as well as a bell tower, stone altar and stone cross, which currently stand on the site.
