About
Datos rápidos: Hundreds of rhododendrons explode in colour in early summer, and the scent of lilac sweeps through the paths. Mirror-smooth ponds frame wide gravel paths, perfect for relaxing walks and slow-paced birdwatching.
Destacados: A charming custom is the open summer concerts at the large pond, often arranged on about ten evenings per season with local ensembles. When the evening light falls the lamps are reflected in the water and the scent of newly cut grass mixes with cool, blooming air, creating an almost cinematic mood.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, paths can be gravel or muddy after rain.
- Best photos are by the rose garden and from the bridge over the largest pond at golden hour.
- Visit on weekday mornings to avoid picnicking crowds and noisy groups that gather at lunch.
- Check local listings for outdoor concerts and avoid the main entrances during event load-in times.

4.3Came at 7am, nearly empty and perfect for a run. Free entry, the pond views made it worth waking up early.
Visited on a Saturday afternoon with kids, playground busy but clean. Free park, parking nearby costs a few dozen SEK so bring change.
Late afternoon visit, rose gardens beautiful but very crowded. Free entry but cafe prices are steep, skip the coffee.
Went after work, relaxed walk among trees and ponds. Quiet on weekdays, benches available, free entry makes it a great low cost escape.
