Magdakullan
Rural idyll with restaurant, café, and farm shop
Bring the family for a really good meal or coffee at this historic farm in Sörmland.
Magdakullan is a very popular excursion destination in lush beautiful surroundings in the Näshulta parish. Every Saturday at 14:00, cow walks are organized for those who wish to learn more about cows. Besides the cow walk, the restaurant, and the café, you can shop locally grown and other delicacies in the farm shop.
Öster Malma Wildlife Park
Close encounters with the wildlife of the Swedish forest
Öster Malma, just outside Nyköping, is a Sörmland castle proud to host its very own Wildlife Park. Here, you’ll get unusually close to animals native to the Swedish forest.
In large enclosures, moose, fallow deer, mouflon sheep and wild boar roam freely in natural surroundings. You’ll also encounter birds in aviaries, wetland habitats and along the game management trail – all designed to showcase Sweden’s wildlife.
Well-marked walking paths with informative signs run throughout the park, making it easy to explore and learn more.
At Öster Malma, nature and wildlife are always present. The restaurant proudly serves wild game from its own butchery, and accommodation is available both in hotel-standard rooms and hostel-style lodging – all just steps away from the forest.
A perfect destination for anyone who loves nature!
