Huddinge: Forests, Culture and Winter Sports

Huddinge already reveals its special diversity in its forest areas: Flemingsbergsskogen encompasses one of the largest trackless forest areas in Stockholm County, while Paradiset is Huddinge’s largest contiguous forest area. The entire Huddingeleden trail passes through Huddinge and 13 protected natural areas.

The immediate local area of Huddinge includes Huddinge, Flemingsberg, Segeltorp and Vårby. Other destinations at the same level are Lidingö, Sigtuna, Ekerö and Nacka.

Nature and Trails

In the Gladö Kvarnsjön nature reserve, you can hike along the Sörmlandsleden trail; Nyboviksbadet in the same nature reserve offers good swimming opportunities. The route between Sundby Gård and the Björksättra peninsula is wheelchair accessible, with wide paths and floating bridges across Lake Orlången.

Paradiset offers opportunities for hiking, nature study and sport fishing. The Stenbergsleden hiking trail, also known as Gröna spåret, runs between Sundby and Visättra through rocky pine forest, spruce forest, marshland and pastureland.

Culture and History

The Litografiska Museet shows how lithographs are printed on stone and presents the history of lithography. The museum has a car park in the immediate vicinity and an accessible toilet.

Konstbron is a large-scale public art scene beneath Regulatorbron in Flemingsberg and can be experienced by visitors around the clock. Fullersta GÃ¥rd displays works by the satirist EWK and the poet Karin Boye; both are associated with Huddinge.

Stensberg is a day-labourer crofter’s farm. The crofter who lived there paid rent by working three days a week on the Stensättra estate. At Stensberg and the granary near Sundby, there is an agricultural museum, a small laundry and a shop. Smedjan vid Björksättra is a fully equipped and operational blacksmith’s forge that has been restored to its original condition.

Hagalunds Tvätterimuseum is considered Sweden’s first and only laundry museum. It can be reached by metro or bus to Masmo, followed by a walk of around ten minutes.
