Eco-friendly guest activity in Sweden: Tucked away in the heart of Sweden’s wilderness, Näsets Marcusgård offers more than just a peaceful escape—it’s a place where guests leave their mark most charmingly. One of our most beloved traditions is inviting guests to paint birdhouses and bat boxes, which are later placed around the forest. It’s creativity with a purpose: to support local wildlife while creating meaningful memories during your unique stay with us.

Nature, Creativity, and Purpose Combined

Here, amidst the serene beauty of the Swedish forest, we believe that small actions can make a big difference. That’s why we invite our young and old guests to decorate wooden birdhouses and bat boxes during their stay. It’s a wonderfully relaxing and fun activity, perfect for families or anyone looking to connect with nature creatively. Whether bold patterns, detailed forest scenes, or tiny handprints, every unique design becomes part of our landscape and contributes directly to local biodiversity.

A Wildlife-Friendly Holiday Tradition

Our surrounding forest is a haven for many native bird species and a healthy population of bats, all essential parts of our ecosystem. These creatures rely on safe, sheltered places for nesting and roosting, especially during breeding seasons or harsh weather. By placing these hand-painted shelters throughout our grounds, our guests actively help us provide vital habitat, boosting these crucial populations.
