Discover Ringarum: Culture, Play and Lake

Ringarum combines historical impressions, exercise in the countryside, a family-oriented experience and a lake right next to the village. Those planning a trip with varied ideas for each day will find several points of interest here: you can explore the history of Ringarum Church, use a lit training trail, discover Trollbanan with children or plan time at the bathing area by Lake Tjen. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Ringarum, this makes it easy to match your choice of location to your preferred holiday focus.

Church History and Art in Ringarum

The present-day Ringarum Church was built in 1774. However, its history goes back further: a medieval church previously stood on the same site, probably built in the second half of the 13th century. This gives the church a tangible connection to the area's older history and makes it interesting for travellers who want to include cultural discoveries in their stay.

A single work of art also makes a visit noteworthy. Ringarum Church is decorated with an altarpiece delivered by the painter Pehr Hörberg in 1806. Those interested in church art and historic buildings can combine this cultural focus with further excursions in the surrounding area, without limiting their stay exclusively to sports or water-based activities.

Training Trail and Trollbanan: Active Ideas for Families

From Ringarum's IP, you can access a 2.5 km-long illuminated training trail. The trail is also accessible at Ringarum's IP and adds an active option to exploring the village. Take the length into account when planning your day and choose this focus if exercise is important to your trip.

For families with children, Trollbanan offers a different kind of experience. It is located next to Ringvallen and is a forest-inspired obstacle course with around ten challenging stations for children from approximately five years of age. The approximate age indication and the number of stations help you decide whether this activity fits into your family plans. This allows you to shape a stay in Ringarum around culture, exercise or a special play and climbing experience.

Water Experience at Lake Tjen

Lake Tjen is located just outside Ringarum. In the immediate vicinity of the destination, you will find Tjen bathing area with a small sandy beach, toilets, basic changing rooms and jetties. For the 2026 bathing season, the bathing water quality of Tjen near Ringarum was classified as excellent. This information provides concrete guidance for a stay focused on water activities; however, it does not replace individual day planning.

A holiday apartment or holiday house is particularly suitable if you want to divide your days flexibly between the church, training trail, Trollbanan and Tjen. The first consideration is whether culture, exercise, family activities or swimming takes the most important place in your travel plans.
