Sörmland's Countryside and Walking Trail
The Sörmland countryside is verdant, quiet and peaceful. The woods are full of birdsong and the fields and pastures bloom with wild flowers.
The 1000km marked Sörmlandsleden walking trail winds through the county affording the opportunity to immerse in the unspoiled landscape; passing lakes, open countryside and running alongside the spectacular Baltic coastline. The trail is divided into 92 walkable sections that are between 2km and 21km long. Circular walking routes, of varying lengths, are available.
In the heart of Sörmland, close to Gnesta and Nyköping and surrounded by rolling fields, woodland and Lake Malmasjon, is Öster Malma Castle and Wildlife Park. Open all year (except September) Öster Malma combines history, a highly praised restaurant and the opportunity to study red deer, fallow deer, wild boar and moose close up.
