A full day among plants, animals and good food
Wij Trädgårdar in Ockelbo, about 30 km north of Söderfors, is one of the region’s most popular destinations — and deservedly so. It’s far more than an ordinary garden centre: here you’ll find a beautifully landscaped garden with several different themes, a restaurant café and an art exhibition, all in one place.
For the whole family
Visitors say there’s something for all ages. Many come simply to wander through the inspiring surroundings, others opt for a guided tour. If you have small children there’s plenty to discover — the animals on the grounds are a major draw, and the gardens themselves offer endless exploration.
Food and fika
After a couple of hours on the grounds, it’s time to sit down. The waffle café is popular for a quick fika, but many stay longer for lunch or dinner at the restaurant. According to visitors, the food is good and the setting beautiful — a clear highlight for many who visit.
Good for a break
If you need a quiet, beautiful place to unwind without it feeling too far from Söderfors, Wij Trädgårdar is a safe bet. Come on a weekday or early in the weekend if you want to avoid crowds.
