No matter where you choose to stay, you’re never far from nature with water, archipelago, and forest in the small-town life that Kristinehamn offers. If you live centrally, you can stroll along the beach promenade to one of the world’s tallest Picasso sculptures.

Walk along Sannaleden between Herrgårdscampingen and Kristinehamn Arena, hike Jacqueline’s nature trail at the Picasso sculpture, or for the magical Vänern horizon, hike on Dyrön, located 30 km south of Kristinehamn.
