The village
In the middle of the village is the local shop and café Vemhåträffen, which is open 24/7. A 2.6 km floodlit ski track starts at the hockey rink. Vemhån’s small church was originally a chapel and was consecrated as a church in 1970. By the Sömlingsbäcken stream stands Vemhån’s fulling mill (vadmalstamp) from 1867, one of the few preserved in Sweden and a listed building since 1999.
