East Malma
BackÖster Malma is a stopover option for guests looking for a combination of accommodation, meals and proximity to nature and animals in an environment characterized by history and tranquility. Here, there is a hotel and hostel structure integrated into a 17th-century baroque castle by a lake, which provides a unique atmosphere and a clear niche in the hotel and accommodation segment for those who want to combine relaxation with experiences.
What stood out most in this context is the presence of a large zoo and a restaurant on site, which makes the visit attractive to families, nature enthusiasts and the hunting and game profile that the Swedish Hunters' Association stands for. Guests often experience a combination of traditional Swedish dining culture and the opportunity to see trophies and animals in the park, which gives a special character to the stay.
