Just south of Kivik, this enchanting national park features lush woodland, marshes, sandy beaches and a high headland. Among its more unusual residents are orchids, dormice and tree frogs. Several superb walks in the area include the hike up to a 6th-century ruined hill fort. The long-distance path Skåneleden (www.skaneleden.org) also runs through the park, along the coast; the best section is from Vik to Kivik (two or three hours). The Naturum (visitor centre; 0414-708 82; 11am-6pm Jun–mid-Aug, 11am-4pm mid-Aug–mid-Dec & mid-Jan–May) is 2.5km from the main road. Rangers lead 1½-hour guided tours of the park from there at 2pm daily, as well as at 10am Monday to Friday from July to mid-August (Sundays only mid-April to mid-June and September to mid-October). Call ahead to arrange an English-language tour.
