Sjöboleden

Sjöboleden, located just north of Bottnaryd, is a 6.7 kilometer cultural and nature trail. Along the way, you'll find information about local attractions and the area's cultural history.

Experience the trail’s two sections:

• The southern section (marked in blue) is 2.6 kilometers long and starts at the sports field, leading toward Sjöbo.
• The northern section (marked in red) is 3.5 kilometers long and starts at Sjöbo.

At the beginning of the northern section, you'll find a parking area, a grill spot, and a museum. Both trailheads have information about the route.

The trail

You can hike the two loops separately or combine them for a longer 6.7-kilometer hike. The trail takes you along gravel roads, past fishing lakes, through forest paths, and across gravel ridges. The northern part of the trail features slightly more hilly terrain, leading up to the heights of Karlsberg and Hökaberg.

Attractions along the way

At the start of the trail, Bottnaryd’s local heritage association has set up an open-air museum, showcasing old agricultural and household tools. Along the route, information signs describe the historical and cultural landmarks you pass. These include Iron Age burial sites, stone quarries, Bronze Age cairns, and much more.
