A visit to Långå has a long life! And Långå is worth a visit even for those who don't fish. There are many fun activities to do instead, and by the LANG, and in the surrounding communities. A walk along the village road brings pleasant exercise and interesting experiences of farms, environments and it is "daily fresh" in nature. The old farming landscape bears clear traces back to times when Långå was already a well-to-do area dominated by land- and forestry.
Several of the farms counts dating back to the 1400s. Långå SkansTornet is a consequence of the peace of Brömsebro 1645 then Härjedalen, became Swedish territory. Långå is still a living farming area with an open landscape.
The oldest sign of life is four thousand years old in the form of the rock paintings in the mountain Hovden, west of the village.
Long Ågården, in the middle of the village, has crafts, various events and bread baking. "Borrowing by the heat" after a day of bread and make your own pizza.
A photo excursion is recommended both for those who want to capture unique motifs with a camera/mobile phone or just store memory photos to browse through.
Långåbadet in the western part of the village is a scenic swimming pool in Stortjärnen. Well arranged with nice lawn, sandy beach, piers, jumping tower and changing room. Barbecue area and table with benches. Tennis court for those who want to play tennis, also works for paddle.
Stortjärn is also Långåfisket's only put-and-take water so sun- and the interest in swimming can be combined with those who want to fish. Big rainbow, pike and perch. Boat for rent.
In the Rändåfallet, which is just one kilometer of easy walking path from the road 84 at Saxvall west of Långå, is worth a visit and also a swim. Rest house in robust timber with fireplace (if there is no fire ban!).
Mittåfallet, following the old road towards Grundsjön, has become a very popular excursion destination for swimming and nature experiences.. The lagoons that exist between the threshold falls can be likened to bathtubs or small pools and the falls downstream of the great fall are an experience in themselves. OBS! Use extreme caution. There are steep cliffs and large cliffs. Never bathe in the falling water directly during a fall. Stones can fall there with serious consequences where even a helmet would not have been enough for protection.
Ask your landlord, look online or check with the tourist office in Hede on suitable excursions and activities.
