The most beautiful natural sites to discover Svealand

At the bottom of the cellars of the Royal Castle, behind doors of remarkable thickness and under the watchful eye of the guards, sleep the treasures of the royal family since the times of Gustave Vasa. The museum is small and often filled. But take a look at the sword of Gustave Vasa and the royal crown of Sweden executed in Stockholm for the coronation of Erik XIV, in 1561.

This completely human amusement park offers everything that a park of attractions worthy of this name can offer! There are carrousels, raffles, shooting fields, restaurants, haunted house, a "funny" house, a "vampire train", a "lover" train, a papa train, pop-corn, clowns, big wheels, Russian mountains and lots of other things that can attract both children and others. The whole is a combination of pastel colours, light tubes and colorful light bulbs that create an atmosphere dedicated to children! It is even possible to find a small quiet corner close to the water for those who will have enough to queue, alas, before each attraction.

Karlslund Manor is nestled in a lush landscape. It is now run by the Jander family, after three generations of ownership. The manor dates from the early ^19th century and was built in the Empire style. A natural paradise with frog ponds, fields and meadows right on the edge of town. What makes the place unique is that everything is very well preserved. The walk around the mansion offers a cultural and historical experience.

Walking around the lake is a delight, especially for birdwatchers. In the spring, when the vegetation comes back to life, the site is incredibly beautiful: forests of rushes, large expanses of grass where herds of cows and sheep graze. Colonies of swans, grey herons, wild ducks, marsh snipes, starlings and lapwings. It is useful to get the brochure that shows the paths to Naturens Hus.

Located along the Svartån River in the centre of Örebro, the park is internationally renowned: he was awarded the prize for the 5 ^th largest urban park in Europe in 2006. Through the site, full of sculptures and beautiful flowers, we discover Wadköping, a picturesque village of wooden houses and cobbled streets. It has a theatre, a puppet theatre, cafés and cobbled streets. Very lively in summer and suitable for beautiful photos.

In the Mariebergsskogen reserve, a place of nature awareness and discovery. A very special building, built half in the forest, half on the lake, in the shape of a leaf and which carries a giant egg inside. Very informative and designed for children to learn while having fun. They will be able to stroke real wolf, bear or lynx fur. Café with organic or fair trade products, with a beautiful view on the lake.
