Badplats Flämslätt

Located by the Flämslätt Diocesan and Conference Centre, you will find one of the area’s most popular swimming spots. The site has a long history as a meeting place, welcoming confirmation groups and young people since the 1950s. Today, it is a complete destination for the whole family with ample green spaces, barbecue areas, and a playground for children.

For those who wish to stay active, the beautiful trails winding around the entirety of Lake Flämsjön are highly recommended. It is the perfect combination to start your day with a hike in the scenic Valle area and finish with a cooling dip.

The many lakes of Valle

The Vallebygden region is characterised by the numerous lakes formed when the ice sheet retreated around 10,000 years ago. Archaeological finds show that people have lived and worked here for thousands of years, and the clear freshwater lakes have always been a vital resource for both fishing and recreation.
