Things to do in Härryda
Follow the trail through Risbohult Nature Reserve and explore a canyon framed by steep rock walls. A creek meanders through the canyon and keeps it lush and green. Visit the remains of a 17th-century mill and identify rare species of moss and lichen on the rocks.
Bask in the sunshine on Tubbared Badplats, a sandy beach set on a cobalt-blue lake. Roll out your towel on the sand or claim a spot on the jetty, a prime sunbathing spot. Bring a fishing rod and reel in pike, perch, trout and other freshwater species.
Step back in time at Härryda Kyrka, a picturesque stone church built in the Middle Ages. The church has been beautifully renovated and features whitewashed walls, arched windows and an impressive barrel vault ceiling. Admire the original Baroque altarpiece and walk around the cemetery dotted with centuries-old tombstones.
