OUTDOOR SUPPORT AT HOFSNÄS
Hofsnäs is an amazing area with natural, cultural, and relaxing activities. There you find the nature reserve of Torpa with the outer part of the lake Åsunden on one side and the lake of Torpa on the other side. In the reserve are several hiking trails with beautiful stops and barbeque sites. Hofsnäs mansion with its café and bistro lies in the middle of the area. A few kilometres away lies the stone castle of Torpa, built in the 16th century, with its castle café and restaurant.
In collaboration with Ida and Danne at Hofsnäs Mansion, we want to inspire people and make it easier for visitors to experience nature and activities on site.
We are leasing canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and bicycles for grown-ups and children alike. There are bicycle trailers and children’s seats for the smaller children who cannot yet ride a bicycle of their own.
In addition to the leasing, we offer guided tours and outdoor experiences in the area. If you want to try out something new or want to have an experience together with the family or a group of friends you can get a package deal with outdoor cooking, overnight stay and more.
