Krogsered between lake, forest and culture

The small Lake Lyngsjön is located in Krogsered and shapes a stay that brings together experiences of nature, physical activity and cultural impressions. There are three marked hiking loops around Lake Lyngsjön. They all start and end at the bathing area.

Nature and hiking around Lake Lyngsjön

The trails around Lake Lyngsjön pass through spruce and mixed woodland. Along a short section, they run beside a country road. This combination gives the surroundings a distinct character: in addition to woodland sections, the route also includes a stretch along a road. Bear this in mind when planning your day and choose the loop according to the type of landscape you would like to experience.

The Lyngsjön Krogsered bathing area has changing rooms, a barbecue area and a barbecue shelter. A shelter stands on a small rise by Lake Lyngsjön in Krogsered and offers views of the lake. This means that there are several clearly named points of reference along the marked route. The bathing area is also the starting and finishing point for all three hiking loops.

Cultural heritage site and historic cemetery

Krogsered’s cultural heritage includes Krogsereds kyrka. It was built between 1815 and 1819. After the 1924 fire, it was rebuilt according to the original plan; the designs were by architect Karl Martin Westerberg, and the church was completed in 1926. Today, Krogsereds kyrka is protected as a church cultural heritage site. Anyone interested in church architecture and local history will find a distinct focus here alongside the natural experience at Lake Lyngsjön.

Krogsereds kyrkogård contains several old, imposing gravestones that are classified as cultural heritage. The cemetery can be reached either through a gate via a staircase or via an accessible stone ramp. You should take these two described entrances into account when making your personal plans. This allows the church and cemetery to be included as cultural destinations in your travel plans without assuming that the church is currently accessible.

Krogsered for cyclists

Krogsered is also named as a specific section on cycling routes. From Krogsered, stage 4 of Ätradalsleden follows small, quiet gravel roads through woodland and open fields to the country road outside Gällared. The approach from Fegen towards Krogsered follows a quiet, lightly trafficked road on this stage. For planning a cycling tour, both the character of the landscape and the transition between gravel roads and country roads are therefore described.

In addition, stage 4 of the Fegen–Falkenberg cycling route approaches Krogsered via a quiet, lightly trafficked road. If you are considering Krogsered as a destination or stopover on a cycling tour, you should check the exact stage route and your preferred distance for the day separately.

Which travel idea suits Krogsered?

When planning a trip, Krogsered is particularly suitable for combining a lake, marked hiking loops, woodland trails, cycling stages and cultural and historical destinations. You can focus on Lake Lyngsjön with its bathing area and shelter, include Krogsereds kyrka and Krogsereds kyrkogård, or choose the destination from the perspective of a cycling route. The venue for the Krogsereds Trailrun 2026 is the old volleyball court in the centre of Krogsered.

You can find other destinations from the same selection under Källsjö and Köinge. When searching for accommodation, you can therefore narrow down Krogsered according to your preferred type of trip: nature by the lake, trails through the forest, a cycling route or a protected cultural heritage site.
