Eriksberg Hotel & Nature Reserve

Set out across the Nordic region’s largest game reserve in a specially adapted safari vehicle designed to bring you remarkably close to wildlife in every season. Guided by an expert ranger, this private experience takes place in a custom-built Toyota Land Cruiser Game Viewer, created to operate comfortably from bright summer days to icy winter nights.

Move through vast landscapes as animals roam freely around you, with the flexibility to shape the journey around your interests. Spend time observing multiple species or pause at sunset for a relaxed sundowner with food and drink. This safari redefines wildlife encounters in Scandinavia, offering presence, proximity and perspective rarely possible in northern Europe.

From midsummer through September, Lake Färsksjön becomes a living botanical spectacle as one of the world’s largest populations of rare red water lilies comes into bloom. Originally from Lake Fagertärn, these extraordinary lilies were carefully introduced here in the 1940s to protect their future. Today, they flourish in calm, protected waters with ideal depth and lakebed conditions.

As you explore the lake’s quiet edges, you’ll see crimson blooms alongside pink, white and yellow water lilies drifting across the surface. It’s a gentle seasonal experience that reveals the fragile beauty of one of nature’s most ancient flowering plants.

Few sights match the power and grace of a sea eagle gliding across open skies. At Eriksberg, these magnificent birds stand as a living symbol of ecological balance and successful conservation. Thanks to the lifelong work of Bengt Berg, who fought for their protection through books, film and advocacy, sea eagles found refuge here when their survival was under threat.

Today, guests may witness the largest bird of prey in Northern Europe circling above forests and coastline, its vast wingspan reaching up to two and a half metres. Seeing a sea eagle in flight is a quiet reminder of nature restored and protected.
