Discover Söderåkra: Culture, Nature and Golf

Söderåkra combines historic sites, unusual landscape formations and varied opportunities for active or relaxing holiday days. Those looking for a holiday apartment as a base for different interests can include cultural history, nature experiences, swimming and golf in their personal travel plans.

Discover History and Regional Culture

A special historical connection leads to the Peace of Brömsebro in 1645: at that time, part of the Swedish delegation was stationed at the vicarage in Söderåkra. Söderåkra Church, whose official name is Sophia Magdalena, is one of the parish churches of Söderåkra parish. In the cemetery, a new ash grove was inaugurated after a service in Sophia Magdalena Church on a Sunday, 1 June. From there, you can enjoy a view of the hilly landscape.

Smaller reminders of rural life also give the area its distinctive character. Skarptorpet is a soldiers' cottage built in the 1850s. The simple cottage, constructed from round timber, has a turf roof. In Övraby, scattered remains of a row village dating from the beginning of the 19th century have been preserved; there are also numerous well-preserved agricultural outbuildings. Söderåkra Hembygdsgård comprises four historic buildings: a main building, a fisherman's cottage, a barn and Emma's cottage.

Nature Experiences Among Rocks, Beaches and Trails

Kanaberg is located on the road between Söderåkra and Påryd. There, Ice Age accumulations of huge boulders formed deep caves and long passages. Those who enjoy climbing and crawling will find an unusual landscape formation here; there is also a small barbecue area. Kanaberg is therefore an option for travellers who want to experience nature directly among the rock formations rather than simply observe it when planning their day.

Örarevet Nature Reserve focuses on something different. It includes a two-kilometre-long esker, three types of beach, a diverse birdlife, as well as barbecue areas and cycling and hiking trails. Those who appreciate varied landscape impressions can combine a stay in Söderåkra with such nature destinations without limiting their holiday to a single activity.

Fulvik also offers an opportunity for a stay by the water. The village is located around 4 km northeast of Söderåkra and has a sandy beach with a bathing jetty, changing room, toilet and slide. Möre bad & simhall has four 25-metre swimming lanes. The facility also offers swimming and play opportunities for children. This allows days outdoors and a weather-independent swimming option to be given different weight in your travel plans.

Golf and Active Holiday Days

Möre Golfklubb offers golf in Söderåkra on an 18-hole course in an open landscape. At Möre Golfklubb, Möre Padel has two outdoor courts. This combination appeals to travellers who want to combine different sporting interests during their holiday. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you want to focus on golf, nature observation, exercise or cultural discoveries.

The Right Base for Your Travel Plans

Söderåkra is suitable as a destination for a trip where more than just a single excursion destination matters. Options include historic buildings and sites of remembrance as well as rocky landscapes, a beach, a swimming pool, cycling and hiking trails, and a golf course. Road 130 connects Torsås with Söderåkra and is a specific point of reference for planning regional travel. When choosing your holiday apartment, check which of the interests mentioned are most important for your stay and which destinations you would like to combine.
