The best cycling routes around Bolmen

We walked here from the beach. A beautiful beach with a long jetty, restrooms, and places to relax. We also did a short 1 km loop. Ample parking is also available.

Beautiful little church

This burial ground dates back to the Viking Age. The deceased were then cremated and buried in burial mounds or buried next to standing stones. Jewelry and tools were given as grave goods.

Around 60 graves from the late Iron Age (500 to 1,050 AD) lie to the right and left of the road, 10 of them with standing gravestones.

This small, dark lake lies at a fork in the road. It is surrounded by a meadow on which some large blocks of stone lie and offer seating.

The Bolmia cable ferry operates between the island of Bolmsö in Lake Bolmen and Sunnaryd. It is the longest cable ferry in Sweden and connects the island of Bolmsö in Kronobergs län with Sunnaryd in Jönköpings län over a distance of about 1 km. The crossing over Lake Bolmen takes ten minutes, takes place directly on site after a small telephone request and is free of charge. The ferry connection to the island, called Bolmsöleden, has existed since 1872. Until 1927 it was operated with rowing boats, after which the first motor-driven ferry was used. A larger motor ferry running from 1950 was replaced in 1969 by the Bolmia, which was put into operation by the Vägverket road authority in Stockholm as Färja 62/285. The assembly of the ship took place after prefabrication of the parts directly on site. In 1992 the ferry was taken over by Färjerederiet Vägverket (later Trafikverket Färjerederiet) and was named Bolmia in the process.

There are also huts here. What was once a campsite has been 'downgraded' to avoid the investment in plumbing etc that would otherwise be necessary. Camping is now no longer permitted. If you can live with that, you will find a great, quiet parking space here, which is a good starting point for hikes on the island of Bolmsö.

Bolmsö Church is a church building in Växjö Diocese, belonging to Bolmsö Parish. The church, completed in 1863, is located on the island of Bolmsö in Lake Bolmen. The church is built of stone and consists of a rectangular nave with a slightly narrower circular chancel to the east. The sanctuary is separated from the nave by a round arch opening. To the north is the sacristy and to the west is the church tower. The entrances are on the west and in the middle of the south side. The nave has a gabled roof covered with single-domed red bricks. The rounded sanctuary is covered with red lacquered sheet metal. The tower roof with spire is clad in copper. The dome is clad with a plain red panel and has a lower cornice with a spire clock.
