Hälsans stig - Hova

Here are some of the places you will pass on your hike:

Riddarparken Hova Riddarvecka is a popular medieval festival in July since 1989. The knights are just as excited, the town guards have polished shoes and the horses stand and trample with eagerness. In Riddarbyn, the merrymakers set up their stalls, which are full of food, clothes, jewelry, sweets, delicacies and other goodies. In short, Hova gives you a really wonderful medieval experience for nine days.

The jousting ground At the jousting ground, you can enjoy fast horses and brave knights as they show off their skills in accuracy and close combat. Together with the jesters, they strive to win the hearts of the audience and give you an evening of medieval fun. Show, speed and excitement characterize our jousting games, and we guarantee that every second will be exciting. Keep your eyes and ears open for a fire show at the jousting site.

Hantverkshuset Did you know that Hantverkshuset used to be a building for law and order? The courthouse was inaugurated in Hova on February 1, 1859. However, it burned to the ground a few weeks later but was rebuilt. The then Tingshuset was located in the center of Hova and was in use until 1924. When the newly formed Hova Hantverksförening bought the house in 1943, it not only got a new function but was moved to Mon.

Movallen/Getryggen Adjacent to Movallen, where football is played, is the outdoor facility Getryggen. A nice coniferous forest where you can hike, run and cycle or just enjoy nature. There are three jogging trails, a mountain bike trail and picnic areas, shelters and an outdoor area for a nice coffee or barbecue. The Public Health Council is a collaborative body between Gullspång municipality and the Västra Götaland region with the task of initiating, developing and coordinating resources for health promotion work. In October 2019, it was decided to create the Health Trail in Hova and Gullspång as part of the work to achieve the public health goal "30 minutes of movement" a day
