An oasis full of life
Just south of Sunne lies one of Europe’s largest flower and sculpture parks. Beautiful Rottneros Park was created by landowner Svante Påhlson. His goal was to create a romantic spot that matched Selma Lagerlöf’s The Saga of Gösta Berlings, where Rottneros manor estate was the source of inspiration for Ekeby in the novel. Stroll around and savour the flamboyant surroundings with works by both Carl Milles and Carl Eldh, right next to sparkling Lake Fryken. For the very tiniest of visitors, there are several fun play parks to explore. Read more: rottnerospark.se
