Eriksberg, Wildlife nature reserve in Blekinge, Sweden.
Eriksberg is a large enclosed wildlife park in southeastern Sweden where different animal species roam across open and wooded areas. The site includes animals such as red deer, bison, boar, and other species living in spacious enclosures that allow visitors to observe them.
The site was established in 2008 and grew into one of northern Europe's largest wildlife parks of this kind. Historic buildings from the 16th century were preserved and incorporated into the modern operation.
The reserve produces game meat and other products from animals raised on site, which visitors can purchase and support a regional tradition. This approach ties wildlife management to everyday economic life in the area.
The site is easily reached by car, and lodging options ranging from basic to more comfortable are available on site. It is worth spending a full day to explore the grounds and observe the animals at a leisurely pace.
The park is home to rare deer subspecies including Père David's deer, which is extinct in the wild but can be seen here. These uncommon animals are part of a breeding program that makes the visit especially interesting for nature enthusiasts.
