Recreation and Leisure

Jönköping gives every opportunity for a wide variety of outdoor activities. There are, for example, six golf courses, some 250 km of trails and footpaths, a wide network of cycling paths, some 20 different sports centres with running and skiing tracks, three major racket sports centres, six riding-schools, three halls for ten pin bowling, four sports halls with spectator seating, two indoor ice rinks, and one bandy ice rink, as well as three slalom slopes with ski lifts.

The large number of different sports clubs, societies and organisations in Jönköping ranks us among the top municipalities in Sweden in this respect.
Jönköping has very successful teams in ice hockey, bandy, football and handball, as well as being the home of individual world-class athletes in many sports, for example in single seat kayak.
