Sofiero is a great place to visit for the formal gardens, especially in the spring for the rhododendrons and in the autumn for the ljusstämning (where the grounds are open at night with all the paths lit by candles.)

Welcome to Fredriksdal museums and gardens Nowhere in Europe will you find an equivalent to Fredriksdal. This is Skåne in miniature, with 360,000 square metres of unique settings, buildings and gardens. Here, the history and diversity of the countryside are caringly kept alive. With its museums and gardens, Fredriksdal offers interesting activities for all ages, all year round. Take an explanatory walk, watch the animals grazing or join the manor maids for an interesting tour.

The botanical garden in Lund is an oasis 5 minutes walk from downtown. Lots of trees, perennials and annuals. Beautiful outdoor cafe in the summer next to a pond with ducks.

Beautiful national park about 45 minutes from Lund. Gorgeous wooded trails that lead up to one of the most stunning viewpoints in Skane. There is quite a lot of parking, with a visitors center with maps of the trails in a few languages. Picnic benches at the top to enjoy the serene setting.

We spent our last morning in Malmo walking along the canals and over the foot bridges in this beautiful park. The park cafe by the windmill is delightful. I had a delicious home made pannecotta with a Lillia Rosteriet coffee and my partner enjoyed a freshly made cinnamon bun with coffee. We sat out at a picnic table amid colourful flowers. A must see on a sunny day.

The naturum Vattenriket visitor centre, on the banks of the River Helge å, just west of Kristianstad railway station, is a natural starting point when visiting Vattenriket. Here you find exhibitions, guided tours and all the information you need. When you have visited the exhibition at Naturum Vattenriket and replenished your energy levels in the restaurant, you should take the time to explore the biosphere reserve. You can either make your own way to some of our 20 visitor sites, or book a guided tour on the water or on land. Our staff in reception will be pleased to offer tips and advice about excursions.
