Dalby Söderskog National Park

Getting around: Dalby Söderskog is about 10 km southeast of Lund. Take a bus to Dalby, then a short walk, or drive (about 15 minutes from Lund).
Hours: Open at all times as a national park with free, unrestricted access.

Dalby Söderskog is one of Sweden's smallest national parks, a compact patch of old-growth deciduous forest protected since 1918, known for its dense carpet of wood anemones and other spring flowers in April-May. Given its small size — under half a square kilometer — it makes for a short, easy walk rather than a full day out.
