Forests, Lakes and Trails Around Rödeby

In the vicinity of Rödeby, the section of the Blekingeleden from Mörtsjöåsen to Älmtasjön passes through hilly terrain with classic mixed forest. Along the way, it passes several larger lakes and smaller waterways. The Blekingeleden also passes Stora Havsjön, a lake in the Mörtsjöåsen area. This combination makes the landscape appealing to travellers who want to plan not just a single excursion but a variety of nature experiences during their stay.

The trails between Rödeby and Dackestugan at the ski slope offer a specific selection. The trail network includes a 3.0-kilometre illuminated trail and routes ranging from 1.7 to 13.8 kilometres. Mörtsjöåsen also has a 2.0-kilometre exercise trail. The different distances make it easier to adapt the day's plans to your own interests and the time available, without having to commit to a single trail length.

Church, History and Peaceful Discoveries

The present Rödeby kyrka was built in the Neo-Gothic style between 1875 and 1877. An older church previously stood at the current site; it was built sometime in the 11th or 12th century. Inside is a carved oak altar retable made by the sculptor Åke Truedsson from Karlshamn in 1673. Anyone interested in church art and local history will find a clear cultural focus here alongside the nature-based attractions.

The Rödeby kyrka is open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for prayer, lighting candles and quiet contemplation. The Rödeby bibliotek also provides another peaceful stop; it is an integrated library for the public and a school. Such destinations can provide a change of pace between more active activities.

Winter Sports at Rödeby Skidbacke

In eastern Rödeby lies Rödeby skidbacke, a ski facility with a ski lift and a warming hut. The slope is 320 metres long and has an elevation difference of 61 metres; the facility has two ski lifts. In the lower section is Klubbstugan, with a food service that is open on Saturdays and Sundays.

The cross-country ski trails at Dackestugan in Rödeby and the associated snowmaking facility are known as Rödeby Vintersportcentrum. Those who prefer to combine different activities will also find a range of other sports and nature-based attractions in Rödeby.

Active Days and Summer at the Simhall

At Pulsen in Rödeby, visitors can play football, basketball, floorball, handball and volleyball, as well as take part in regular fitness and cardio training. Pulsen can be used by anyone in the evenings and at weekends. Rödeby Simhall also includes a gym, table tennis, a café, a sports hall, exercise trails, tennis courts and a hard court.

The Simhall also has a heated outdoor swimming pool, which operates in summer. In summer, the indoor pool is closed while the adjacent outdoor pool is open. This makes it possible to take different priorities into account when planning a trip: trails and lakes for time outdoors, the ski facility for winter days, or sports and swimming facilities for a varied itinerary.
