If you want to get to know Sweden, Skane is not only geographically speaking an ideal starting point but also in regard to the diversity of the flora, fauna and types of landscapes. The Swedes say: «if you have seen Skane, you get an idea of the diversity of the whole country»
There is a clear difference in terms of climate: thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is mild throughout the year. If there is snow at all, it only lasts a few days. Here in the south, the dark season is condsiderably shorter than in the north of the country.
One way or another, The Lilla Trulla Gardshotell offers an ideal starting point for day trips and acitivities.
