Kråkshult – Alpacas and Lakes

Alpackagården gives a trip to Kråkshult a specific focus: The farm opened in spring 2017 and offers several opportunities to learn about alpacas. There is also a bookable walk and the lakes Stönjasjön and Bolmen in the area surrounding the farm. This makes it possible to plan a stay combining animal encounters, walking and seasonal time by the water.

Experience Alpacas and Learn More

At Alpackagården, visitors can test their knowledge of alpacas in a quiz. Signs along the enclosure provide information about the animals’ origins and characteristics; these installations may change over time. The activities have different focuses: the quiz tests your own knowledge, while the signs offer information to read at your leisure.

Visitors can also book a walk with alpacas at Alpackagården. Confirm availability before you arrive. Alpaca foals are expected at the farm between April and August, although the timing of the births may vary. This period is a seasonal indication, not a fixed date for young animals on a particular day of your visit.

The municipality of Ljungby lists Alpackagården as a place where children and parents can meet animals; check current arrangements with the farm. There is also a playground. If it is important for your visit, confirm its availability in advance.

Getting to and Visiting Alpackagården

To reach the farm, turn off road 25 at the “Alpackagården” sign and do not follow your GPS. As directions and access information may change, check them before setting off.

Visits outside regular opening hours require an appointment. Confirm the arrangements when scheduling, as they may change. Visitors can use an accessible toilet with a changing area. A shower is available for a small fee; ask about the current amount if needed.

There is a clear rule for feeding: alpacas may only be given feed purchased at the entrance. Alpackagården has pitches for up to 10 motorhomes. As capacity may change, travellers who rely on a pitch should confirm the current availability before setting off.

Animal Encounters and Time by the Water

Stönjasjön and Bolmen are in the area surrounding Alpackagården and can be reached from there by bicycle. Both lakes offer good swimming opportunities, although swimming is a seasonal option. This means you can include time by the water in your plans alongside animal encounters and the walk. The farm and the lakes offer different ways to shape your stay.

Choose the Right Base for Your Trip

When looking for a holiday apartment in Kråkshult, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on. Would you like the farm visit and its alpaca activities to be the main feature of your trip, or would you also like to include the lakes and seasonal swimming? Availability for the walk must be confirmed before you arrive, while swimming depends on the season. These different conditions can help you choose when to travel and what mix of experiences you want.
