Guldkroksbadet

Guldkroksbadet is a bathing beach in Hjo featuring a heated outdoor pool of roughly 50 meters, a children's pool, and direct access to Lake Vättern through a sandy beach area. The site includes changing rooms, showers, and accessible facilities for visitors with disabilities.

The site developed during Hjo's growth as a bathing destination in the early 1900s, when traditional wooden bathing huts were constructed. This legacy of spa and bath culture continues to shape the place today.

The beach serves as a central gathering place where locals and visitors meet to swim and relax together. The site reflects how important shared swimming traditions are in this Swedish region.

Lifeguards regularly supervise the swimming area, especially during peak season, and the water maintains comfortable temperatures. Visiting early in the day is a good idea when the beach is quieter and less crowded.

The heated outdoor pool allows comfortable swimming even outside the warmest months, setting this location apart from typical lake beaches. Admission is free and open to everyone without entrance fees.
