Voted Sweden's most beautiful park in 2005 and Europe's 4th most beautiful park in 2006, the Brunnspark has a section of manicured lawns, flower beds, lakes, waterfalls and historic cafes, then a series of rocky hills and walking paths through dense forests. It is a great place for relaxing, picnicking, playing sports, or for exploring a Swedish forest.

the river
The tranquil river runs between the town and the Brunnspark until it reaches the sea a few kilometres south. The best place to view it is by walking south from the station to the Brunnspark, either on the station side of the river or on the Brunnsvägen on the west side - this west side street has a long line of the fine old wooden spa guest houses along with boats and small wharves.
Holy Cross Church
The white church, with the earliest sections from the 13th century, sits above the main square. If it is open, the interior is quite ornate, if not, visit in the evening when the sun streams down Kyrkogatan - a street of fine old wooden buildings - to light up the front of the church.
