Lycke: Nature, Cultural Heritage and Active Days

In Lycke, nature, cultural heritage and active pursuits can be considered as different focal points for a stay. Tofta Nature Reserve has Bronze Age cairns and varied, easy hikes across cliffs and coastal meadows. Other highlights include the protected Lycke kyrka, rides on Icelandic horses and an 18-hole golf course. If you are looking for a holiday rental, this variety can help you decide which experiences you want to shape your holiday.

Nature and the Bronze Age in Tofta Nature Reserve

The Bronze Age cairns are on a ridge between Kråkerösund and Myggstaviken. This named ridge anchors early cultural history in a specific landscape. The same nature reserve also offers easy hikes across cliffs and coastal meadows. The cairns and the trails offer different focal points: one centers on the Bronze Age, while the other lets you explore the landscape on foot. If you would like to combine nature and history, you can include both as distinct highlights in your day plans.

Church history and a studio visit

Lycke kyrka is protected as a cultural heritage site. The original Lycke kyrka was inaugurated in September 1827. This date refers to the original church, while the protection status identifies Lycke kyrka as a cultural heritage site. Together with the Bronze Age cairns, these cultural themes span the period from the Bronze Age to the 19th century.

Sasioglu Design’s studio also offers a specific reason to visit: it is located at Gulskärsvägen 14, 442 75 Lycke. Visits are by appointment. Bear this in mind if you plan to visit.

Horseback rides, golf and getting there

Stall Tofta offers rides on Icelandic horses through forests and along the coast in the area around Tofta Herrgård and Tofta Nature Reserve. The rides offer a different focus from the easy hikes and appeal to travelers who would like to take a horseback tour. Bookings and times may vary; it is best to confirm both with Stall Tofta in advance.

Lycke Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole course classified as a seaside/parkland course and designed by Johan Henrikson and Helen Alfredsson. Golf is another activity to choose from, alongside hiking and horseback riding. Which activity best suits your stay depends on how you would like to spend your holiday.

The nearest stop for Tofta Nature Reserve is Lycke; from there, it is about a 20-minute walk. Allow for this approximate walking time and check the current timetable before setting out. For retreat participants, Tofta Retreat provides pick-up in Tjuvkilsboden or Lycke on Fridays and returns them there on Sundays. Pick-up is arranged once the arrival time has been provided.

Choose a holiday rental to suit your travel plans

When looking for a holiday rental, first consider which experiences matter most to you: hikes and cairns in the nature reserve, Lycke kyrka, a horseback ride or golf. The activities differ in character and in their specific conditions. Then check the location of each holiday rental in relation to the places you would like to visit.
