Activities throughout the year
At Gåvetorps Gård there are activities all year round - you can swim, fish, or relax by the lake, hike, pick berries or mushrooms in the forest, or cycle to nearby cafes and flea markets. In winter, you can ski in the beautiful winter forest or at the Hanaslöv ski resort - or just cosy up in front of the fire.
Swimming, boating and fishing
Gåvetorps Gård is the perfect place for activities like swimming, boating and fishing.
Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, Gåvetorps Gård offers ample opportunities for a rewarding fishing experience.

Furen is 460 ha in size and has a maximum depth of 6 metres. Both lakes offer rich fishing for pike, zander and perch. You can hire a boat and buy a fishing licence from us. More information about fishing licences and the fisheries management area.
Hiking and cycling
At Gåvetorps Gård there is a large forest where you can go on longer or shorter walks on forest paths and roads or pick mushrooms or berries.
For those who want to hike longer distances, the Västra Sigfridsleden trail runs through Gåvetorp. Västra Sigfridsleden is the Småland stage of the famous Pilgrim's Way, which stretches between Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain and Nidaros/Trondheim in Norway.
By bike you can reach many local sights. If you want to go on a longer trip, the nationwide Sverigeleden (Sweden Trail) goes through Gåvetorp. Sverigeleden runs through old cultural landscapes and follows mostly less busy roads.
Christmas and winter
In November and December, there are several local Christmas markets where you can shop for local delicacies and genuine crafts - from the large Christmas fair at Huseby to the cosy Bergqvara julmarknad.
Celebrate a memorable Advent, Christmas or New Year's weekend at Gåvetorps Gård - of course with a Christmas tree from our own forest!
The small-scale Hanaslöv ski resort is located two kilometres from Gåvetorps Gård and offers cross-country and downhill skiing.
