MOOSE GUIDING/FEEDING
We have many activities and our main activity is the wonderful guided moose feedings, where you can get close to the moose.
MOOSE GUIDING
During the moose feeding times you have the best chance to get close to these amazing animals. Meet and feed our friendly moose and get the opportunity to pet them. You will feed them moose branches, twigs or snacks depending on what their moose keeper decide is on their menu. The feeding usually lasts around 30 – 40 minutes where the moose are actively standing and then they will lay down to ruminate. You can watch how they do and enjoy observe them. The feeding site is a smaller area located near the house, which makes it incredibly accessible with wheelchair and gives you excellent photo opportunities.
Time: 1 hour
Language: Swedish, English
We provide the moose food (twigs, potatoes or what is on the moose menu that feeding)
NOTE! Feedings are at specific times and when the moose have eaten they will lay down and digest their food.
MOOSE BY NIGHT
We welcome you for a new, special moose feeding in the early night. Moose are normally active around sunset and feel completely comfortable eating (again) as they are ruminants and eat many times during the day. The feeding will be like a regular moose feeding described in the regular feeding. Depending on when you book this guiding the amount of darkness/night will vary and we advice that you check the time of sunset first if you wish to experience moose in complete darkness. Enjoy a tranquil evening and night atmosphere and possibly the chance of other sights of wildlife in the nature around us.
Time: 1 hour
Language: Swedish, English
We provide the moose food (twigs, potatoes or what is on the moose menu that feeding)
NOTE! This guiding is not possible to combine with other outdoor activities due to the time of day.

NOTE! The nature guiding is a separate activity than moose guiding and needs to be booked in advance.
FACT FOREST
Are you still curious on moose? You can read and look at moose facts in our little fact forest 100 meters away from the moose feeding area.
Fact forest is made with nature in mind. It has five information stations where you can test your knowledge about moose and learn more about specific topics including diet, mating, tracks, horns and poop.
Do you know how much a moose can eat every day or how moose tracks look so you can spot them in the wild? How does moose poop look and how much does a moose shit daily? You will get all the answers in Fact forest! There is also a cool fact tree full of moose facts.
NOTE! CLOSED UNTIL 15/3! Fact forest is made in Swedish and English. Please help us take care of the fact forest and don’t cross the ropes or touch the items except the big moose food bag.
FORAGE IN THE NATURE
Feel free to explore our nature and surrounding areas and forage many delicious edibles from the forest.
Let your instincts and curiosity take over and guide you through our nearby nature that offers many different gems. The whole park and area around is covered in a thick and dense layer of blueberry bushes and you are welcome to pick some and taste the amazing berries. We also have smaller areas of lingon berries, which is a famous Swedish berry made to jam and used for the dish “Kötbullar” (meat balls). You can also find the more rare berry called cloudberry if you take the walk around the park. It is also possible to find various mushrooms in the forest.
NOTE! Foraging in the nature is on your own. It is your responsibility to know what to pick and what to leave and if you are in doubt please search for information before you pick the wrong thing. Help us keep our nature flourishing by foraging with care and respect for nature to be able to regrow the plants for the next season. Don’t take plants up with roots or break of branches.
Wildlife in and around our park
As animal lovers, we cherish the wildlife in and around our park. We have a selection of identified, typical Swedish animals which you might be lucky to spot but there is no guarantee. If you wish to get a chance to see the wildlife, we suggest you visit our park in the low season as most wildlife is shy and our high season is very human busy. Please let us know if you see other animals or species so we can update our list!
Squirrel
We have a couple of squirrels living in the park and around the house. Our favorite squirrel is Mimi, who we have known since she was a baby. We feed squirrels at their squirrel buffet.
Roe deer
We see many deer tracks in our park and they often wander close to the moose fence. We are wondering if they are having a family meeting with far out relatives.
Red fox
The red fox sometimes sneaks its way into the moose reserve. The moose do not like foxes but the fox does not pose any threat. We always know when we have a sneaky fox guest.
Wild moose
We have a couple wild moose walking around the park and sometimes inside the visitors area during the night. We have witnessed our moose Molly and a wild female having a meeting.
Robin (European)
This is our cutest bird with its very round shape and flashy red breast. The robin is a curious bird that likes searching the ground for worms doing gardening work or when the moose dig holes.
Black woodpecker
Our woodpecker is very active and loves our big oak tree by the house. We often hear how its pecking in the tree. If you know what to look for you might spot it but it hides well under the branches.
Eurasian nuthatch
One of the funniest small birds in the park is the nuthatch with its “bandidos” look. It can forage when descending trees head first, as well as when climbing and it always steals from the squirrel buffet.
Hare
It is no wonder that we have small visitors like the hare thanks to the dense forest area that shelter it from air born predators. Our selection of wild clover, grass and dandelion is tasty hare food!
Eurasian blue tit
A colorful little bird with a blue head and feathers while the yellow chest stands in beautiful contrast. It mainly eats insects but is curious and intelligent enough to learn and adapt to new food sources.
Little weasel
This cute, small weasel has a slender and long body. It feeds on mouse, small rodents and bird eggs. We have a pair that lives under our tool sheds and they peek curiously out and say hello.
Wild boar
Behind our moose park we have a big forest where there are active wild boars. They leaves traces like digging in the ground and big poops! Wild boars are considered shy but dangerous if encountered.
Tawny owl
Sweden’s most common owl has also shown itself here in our park. It was actually pretty curious and flew into our moose store and sat on top of a stuffed beaver for hours. We rescued it safely out in the wild.
