Ormanäs, Skåne
Skåne is the southern-most region in Sweden and the country’s larder. Reserve spots at this table and enjoy the beautiful surroundings together with friends and family.
The table is placed in Ormanäs, in the beautiful beech tree forest in the middle of Skåne. Reach the table by train and hike for about 8 km – following our instructions. You can also fetch the local bus to the bus stop at Backagården and hike around 2 km along the charming roads. Or arrive by car to Ormanäs, park by the small farm and stroll the last few meters to the table in the forest.

Besides the fine do-it-yourself dining at The Edible Country, you won’t be short of adventures in mid-Skåne. If you consider yourself a hiker, Skåne offers a wide variety of nature experiences along the 1250 long hiking trail Skåneleden, that passes through the region. Highlights are Fulltofta nature and visitor centre, and Frostavallen recreation area. Rather a fan of canoeing? Rent one at Stockamöllan kanotcentral and paddle north along the meandering Rönne å.
