Discover Flemingsberg: Art, Forest and Trails

Flemingsberg combines distinctive urban scenery with a diverse landscape. In the western part, 18 tall residential buildings in vivid colors define the local character. The aluminum façades of the buildings were designed by the artist Gert Marcus in various shades. Those looking for more than just a place to sleep when choosing accommodation, but also a distinctive base, will find a destination here with unusual contrasts between residential architecture, art and forest.

Art and special places in Flemingsberg

One striking art venue is Konstbron beneath Regulatorbron in Flemingsberg. There, art can be experienced around the clock in an unusual public and everyday setting. The digital walk in Flemingsberg offers another way to access the local culture. 360-degree films, together with building antiquarian and guide Stina Hagelqvist, make it possible to visit places that are otherwise inaccessible and provide access to the cultural heritage.

The surrounding area also offers historical destinations. Stensättra fornborg lies south of Flemingsbergsviken and is considered the best-preserved hillfort in Huddinge. From there, the view extends across Orlången. In the area around Flemingsberg, the old Sockenvägen also runs through Flemingsbergsskogen, today as a popular hiking trail, and passes Stensättra fornborg, an archaeological site dating from the Iron Age.

Forest landscape and trails

Flemingsbergsskogen is a municipal nature reserve close to the city, with near-natural forest, rocky pine forest, bogs, and more nutrient-rich spruce and deciduous forests. The large contiguous woodland stretches between Flemingsberg and Gladökvarn. Its purpose is to preserve the near-natural forest area and its plant and animal life worthy of protection. For visitors who want to combine walks, nature observation or longer routes, this landscape provides clear guidance when planning their trip.

In the area around Flemingsberg, the Stensbergsleden leads along gravel roads and paths through rocky pine forest, spruce forest, bogs and pastureland. The Stensbergsleden, also called Gröna spåret, runs between Sundby and Visättra and is marked with green diamonds. The two named trails therefore represent different ways of exploring the landscape around Flemingsberg, without every outing having to follow the same pattern.

Exercise, play and winter activities

The 2.5-kilometer illuminated fitness trail in Visättra begins at Visättra Sportcenter. There is also a large outdoor gym there, built entirely of wood. The equipment includes stations for deadlifts, back extensions, sit-ups, dips, bench presses, shoulder presses, squats, jumping exercises and balance training. One of the entrances to the Flemingsbergsskogen nature reserve is also located at Visättra Sportcenter.

For cross-country skiing, the illuminated Visättra tracks in the Flemingsbergsskogen nature reserve are prepared; the meadows next to Visättra Sportcenter are also prepared for this purpose. Visättra Nature Playground is located in an open meadow area and on a densely wooded slope. This allows active days, experiences in nature and quieter breaks to be given different priority when planning.

Getting oriented and choosing accommodation

Flemingsbergsparken is located in the center of Flemingsberg, between the university area and the Grantorp residential district. For practical orientation, Fritidsbanken is located at Ebba Bååts torg 20, offering free rentals of sports and leisure equipment that you can use during opening hours. Flemingsbergs bibliotek offers self-service on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Flemingsberg, you can first decide on your preferred travel focus: art and architecture, trails through the forest landscape, exercise at Visättra Sportcenter or historical destinations in the surrounding area. Those who want to combine different interests should include the places and trails mentioned individually in their daily itinerary.
