Hovdala castle is an interesting, historical building which tells a lot about the wars between Denmark and Sweden. It is also a good place to rest if you are hiking in Hovdala. Don't miss the nice restaurant and café here!

Lovely place for a short walk, including the gardens and a small art gallery. The gardener is a lovely chatty lady. The coffee shop is so so, last time there were not able to provide a glass of water with coffee :( Good place for a picnic.
