Eriksbergs Wildlife Park is located on the Listerlandet peninsula in Blekinge County, southern Sweden. It covers approximately 2,000 hectares of forest, meadows, wetlands, and open land, designed to mimic natural habitats that support large free-ranging wildlife. Established in the 1970s as a private estate and opened to the public, the park has become a premier destination for wildlife observation and nature-based activities. The park is internationally known for its thriving populations of elk (moose) and red deer, complemented by fallow deer and wild boar. Visitors can explore the area via a well-maintained network of roads and trails, providing safe observation points and opportunities for guided safari tours by vehicle. The landscape features a mix of mixed coniferous and deciduous forests, alongside wetlands that attract numerous bird species, making it a favored location for birdwatchers. In addition to wildlife viewing, Eriksbergs encourages outdoor recreation through hiking, cycling, and photography. Notable landmarks include the Eriksberg visitor center, which offers educational exhibits and wildlife information, as well as several lookout towers positioned to enhance animal sighting experiences. The park's commitment to conservation and habitat management ensures sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife, making it an appealing destination for families, photographers, and nature enthusiasts seeking a chance to experience Scandinavian fauna up close in a semi-wild environment.
