We have quite a lot of visitors at the main car park in Skäralid on weekends and during high season (June, July, August). It is also very popular to visit in spring - during the leaf burst and in autumn during the autumn colouring.
Please come early if you want to be sure to have a place to park your car. 

Most visitors come for the views and for hiking. If you prefer a calmer nature experience we have some suggestions for alternative nature areas in the national park vicinity which might be of interest.
Please look at "Nearby nature areas" in the menu to the left or follow the link below
