This guide to Laholm is a paid collaboration with Visit Laholm. All opinions are as always, my own.
I’m so excited to be sharing this Guide to Laholm with you!
Just a few weeks ago, I had the great opportunity to explore beautiful Laholm. It’s so close to where I live, so I had never considered going there for a vacation (or in this case, perhaps it’s more of a staycation because it’s only a 20 minute drive from where I live!).
I think we all need to reconsider how we spend our vacations, especially now but also in the future. I haven’t been very good at exploring Sweden, and even less so the area I live in. After this “trip”, which I took with my great friend Emelie, we have been back to several places in this guide to Laholm!
We’ve actually been look at houses in this area too, so I was a little extra excited to explore. I’m so happy to share all these places in my guide to Laholm with you, and I hope you enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed creating it š And who knows, maybe I’ll be living here soon?!
A Guide to Laholm
Gamleby
Gamleby translates to ‘old village’ and is the oldest part of Laholm with the church S:t Clemens dating back to 1225 (!). If you love taking a stroll through old neighbourhoods with quaint houses, this a must (also very close to TeckningsmusĆ©et and Delihallen, which are further down in this guide).
Teckningsmuseet
The Museum of drawings – I cannot believe I’ve never been here before! I was blown away by how good it was. The exhibition when I visited was ‘Drawn to the line‘ by Petra Bƶrner & Annelie Carlstrƶm. They open with a new exhibition on September 26. Can’t wait to go back to see that one too!

Delihallen
Located right next to TeckningsmusĆ©et, we came here almost everyday for lunch, coffee and ice cream. They have a delicious burger with a local cheese called Nofva cheese which is similar to halloumi cheese but so much better and less squeaky! It’s from Skottorps dairy farm (located right next to the castle of Skottorp which you can see further down in this post).

Skummeslƶvsstrand
One of the many beautiful beaches in Laholm, Skummeslƶvsstrand was the perfect place to enjoy the sunset after a long day of driving around. This bridge is new and you can’t really see here how long it is in this photo. If you’re into winter bathing this bridge will make things so much easier for you š
Ann-Tikt & SĆ„nt
Definitely a favorite shop of mine, I could walk around here for hours! So many things to look at – antiques, plants and home decor in the most lovely setting. I think you can see why I love this place so much!

Majsboden
Translated into English, Majsboden means ‘The corn shed’. This place is so cute, and the corn is so good! Fresh corn on the cob is one of my favorite things to eat, with butter and salt. Needless to say, I ate corn for about a week after this visit. Definitely not complaining!

Tulipa Blomsterverkstad
I was so excited when I saw this cozy shop located in KnƤred, turns out, this is like two shops in one! There was one more shop hidden behind the first shop, full with antiques! Plants, vintage furniture, antiques… all my favorite things! I bought an old bread board here, the one you see in my previous post. Oh, and I got the old spoons there too!

Kvarnfallet and Fika from Conditori Cecil
We went to buy some fika at Conditori Cecil, which is a pastry shop with typical Swedish pastries, before heading to Kvarnfallet. I fell in love with Kvarnfallet and its’ surroundings! You can come here for a fika, for a hike in the forest, for a dip in the water or to simply admire the view. Either way, I highly recommend this beautiful place!

Ćrjanssons Blommor
A pick-your-own farm where you can pick sunflowers in the field and tomatoes from greenhouses PACKED with huge tomato plants. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many tomato plants in one place! I suspect it’s very popular because when we got there, they only had green tomatoes left. We need to get there earlier next time!
Facebook | Address: KƶvlingevƤgen 5, 312 50 Vallberga
Skogaby Lantbruk
A newly opened farm shop with vegetables and flowers. I got a bunch of veggies from here, and the tomatoes were amazing, and they also grow sweet potato which is quite rare here. So nice to be able to buy locally grown sweet potatoes! I also got one of the pumpkins which is waiting to be cooked, or most likely baked with! During this season, you can bring your apples to them and they’ll turn them into apple juice!

HƤlleforsen
How to get there: It’s not super easy to find but it’ll be worth it!
Start in Hasslƶv and drive towards Vindrarp. Drive past Lugnarohƶgen, and continue on that road for a few minutes until you see a sign on your right saying ‘Rollstorp’. I think the sign is yellow and red and it looks like a private road but it isn’t. Take a right here and drive past some houses, up the hill through the forest.
After a little while, you’ll pass a house on your right that says ‘Sjƶmansvila’. The landscape will open up and right when the forest starts again there is an old road barrier (I have no idea if that’s what they’re called! ‘VƤgbom’ in Swedish) on your right side. Stop here and walk into the forest. After about 50-100m the path will divide itself into two, take the left path and continue on this path. After about 500 m you’ll find the waterfall!
Skottorps Slott
Absolutely stunning castle located on beautiful, open fields. Sadly, it is private owned these days so you can’t go inside anymore but there is a cheese shop right next to it, Skottorps mejeri (where you can get the yummy cheese I mentioned before, amongst other things) so it’s definitely worth a visit for the views and the cheese! We got there when the cheese shop was closed, but I’ll definitely go back soon!

Drƶmmar Inne & Ute
A lifestyle shop in theeee most beautiful setting in the countryside, in what I’m guessing was once a stable. You can find home decor, jewelry, clothing, plants, coffee, jams and other edible things in this lovely shop.

Blomsterdesign TrƤdgƄrd
We found this shop by accident, when we were on our way home from Drƶmmar Inne & Ute. Absolutely lovely shop for all you plant and home decor needs!

Wow. I love your photos! And I had no idea Laholm had so many lovely places. I need to visit.
Thank you!! It does have so many lovely places, you definitely should visit!
Wow these photos are incredibly beautiful, Linda! Every single one of them. This guide makes me not only want to visit but makes me daydream about living there! Such beautiful place and you captured it and presented it perfectly. ā¤ļø

Thank you Emelie! <3 <3
Herregud vad mycket fint och spƤnnande. Ett besƶk till Laholm stƄr pƄ min ƶnskelista nu. Fantastiskt fint fotat och dokumenterat?
Ć h, vad glad jag blir! Tack snƤlla Eva <3
Tusen tack fƶr denna guide, Linda! Magiska bilder!!! Det finns sƄ mƄnga dolda pƤrlor i vƄrt vackra land. Jag fƄr intrycket att ni tog bilen ƶverallt fƶr lƤttare och snabbare framkomlighet, men hur lƄng tid skulle du sƤga att man behƶver fƶr att besƶka alla stƤllena? RƤcker det med en helg eller behƶver man fler dagar pƄ sig?
Taack snƤlla <3 Ja, det fick bli bilen dĆ„ flera av stƤlla inte ligger supernƤra varandra (men ƤndĆ„ liksom inom 15-20 minuter med bil!). Ćr man van cyklist sĆ„ funkar sƤkerligen det dock, hehe. Jag skulle vilja sƤga att en helg rƤcker, det tog ju lite extra tid fƶr mig eftersom allt skulle fotograferas och sĆ„, och sĆ„ beror det pĆ„ hur lƤnge man vill stanna pĆ„ varje stƤlle sĆ„klart! SĆ„ glad att du gillar min guide!
SĆ„ mycket vackert ni plockat fram och fĆ„ngat! Superfint sƤtt att visa Laholm. Ćven fƶr den āhemmablindeā ?
Tack snƤlla, Tilda! Blir sĆ„ himla glad! Man blir lƤtt hemmablind š
Wow Laholm looks lovely. Has BLĆ BĆRSSNĆ R, ĆPPELSKRUTT OCH RABARBERSKUGGA or RULLRĆ N OCH TANKEBRUS ā EN BAKBOK FĆR LIVET OCH DĆDEN been translated to English yet?? I’m desperate to buy one of them.
Thank you so much <3 They haven't been translated into English yet unfortunately! I hope they will be one day!
Hi Linda, you seriously need to get a tv show. I think the world would benefit from your baking. I wish you would do more youtube videos (because I love watching them) with you instructing while you bake. This was such a beautiful post.
P.S. I have a huge brick of marzipan, what should I do with it from your blog? š thanks
That’s so kind of you, thank you for that! <3 Hmmm, marzipan... maybe a princess cake? š

Hej Linda!
Roligt att du tycker sĆ„ mycket om vĆ„r lilla stad. š
SjƤlv har jag bott hƤr med min kƤra hustru nƤstan hela livet. Anna, min fru, Ƥr barnfƶdd hƤr.
Jag har jobbat med en hemsida om Laholm, lovelaholm.se i mer Ƥn sex Ć„r nu och mycket av det vackra du har lagt upp finner man ju dƤrinne ocksĆ„. Fast inte lika vackra bilder som dina dĆ„.. š Jag driver Ƥven ListitSweden.se med flera andra sajter ocksĆ„.
Skulle ju vara trevligt om du flyttar hit en dag!
Take Care
