Nynäshamn between coast, harbour and culture

South of Nynäshamn lies the Lövhagen peninsula between Gårdsfjärden and Nynäsviken. Lövhagen combines forest, meadows, sea, cliffs and sandy beaches. The immediate local area includes Nynäshamn, Sorunda and Ösmo.

Nature and trails

Strandvägen, also known as Ringvägen, runs along the sea to Lövhagen; coniferous forest lies on one side and the open sea on the other. Near Kroksundsudden is Kärleksgrottan, an eight-metre-high fissure in the rock that widens towards the bottom.

Stage 5:1 of the Sörmlandsleden trail runs for 9.5 kilometres from Kvarnängens IP in Nynäshamn to Vansta in Ösmo. A road cycling route of around 35 kilometres leads from Nynäshamn to Ankarudden on Torö.

History and culture

From 1901, Nynäshamn developed into a seaside resort and spa town. Later, Trehörningen became the centre of bathing activities in Nynäshamn; between 1906 and 1913, Badhotellet, Parkhotellet, Strandhotellet and a casino were built there.

The island of Trehörningen has a partly English-inspired park with tall deciduous trees and large lawns. The park is privately owned but open to everyone.

The former bathhouse of Nynäshamn is home to Konstpoolen. It offers exhibitions, music events and an open studio where everyone can paint.

Near Nynäshamn’s fishing harbour, Godsmagasinet combines an exhibition hall with a shop selling art and various types of handicrafts.

The art gallery presents changing exhibitions throughout the year. Nynäshamns Järnvägsmuseum displays its collection of historic railway vehicles in the locomotive shed.

Luddes stuga is considered Nynäshamn’s oldest residential building, while Nynäshamns kyrka is a popular destination for summer visitors.

Nynäshamns hembygdsförening and Nynäshamns Folkdansgille organise annual public Midsummer celebrations on Midsummer Eve, a local heritage day in September and a traditional Christmas market during Advent.
