Visitor Center

Naturum Söderåsen is a visitor centre located at Entré Skäralid - the entrance to Söderåsens national park. Here you will find inspiration and nature guidance to get out into nature. You will meet knowledgeable staff who can help you with your questions about the national park, the trails, and about its nature.

About the activity

Naturum functions as a gateway to nature. In the visitor centre there is an exhibition and an experience room. In the experience room you will find many activities such as a video microscope, craft table, "life in the stump", and an interactive wall.

In the exhibition, the hidden life is highlighted. Mosses, lichens and small insects have the main role when you as a visitor are given the opportunity to get to know the area through new perspectives. The exhibition is based on interactivity and self-exploration, and you get to follow the beech-trees life journey, dive underground, and experience the mountain from the inside.
