Spanspek

A similar nature park is Mariesbergskogan in Karlstad. It has many more animals inside and outside, and more extensive playgrounds. It even has a train ride (a small diesel vehicle dressed as a train and towing several carriages).

Mariesbergskogan is on a bend in the River Alvaren, the large river flowing into Lake Vännern. It forms a delta which carries sand from further north. The soil in Karlstad is very sandy as a result and there are a number of natural beaches in the area.

Trolls are said to live in the forest but we didn't see any.
