About Nordens Ark
Nordens Ark is working to save and preserve endangered animals. It is by breeding and raising and reintroduction whenever possible, research, training and information to create understanding of the need for action.
Of the 383 ha about 50 hectares is open to visitors. This ranch,Åby ranch, is of national interest and cultural buildings are marked.
In a separate part called Lunden is the quarantine of predators and birds and isolation farmed for ungulates. Most of the breeding work is carried out in this part.
We got a quick presentation of Nordens Ark when we arrived by the director. The retailer group now also met up with the other tour operators and press that had just arrived. Everybody split up into four groups with a guide in every group and we headed into the park.
My group had the pleasure of having the guide Tom Svensson, forman at Nordens Ark. He was very passionate about Nordens Ark and the animals therein. He was a great guide.
We got to see Siberian Tigers, Snow leopards, wolverines, woodpeckers, utters and wolves.
After a great guided tour, although of just a fraction of the park, we proceeded to the restaurant which overlooks the wolves area. We now got to get to know the other half of the group that arrived today over some good food.
There was also a special suprise!
The Nordens Ark crew put out food for the wolves and the whole pack came up right to the windows of the restaurant to get it. That was quite a show!
We then left Nordens Ark and hopped on a few boats that took us to Ramsvik with a late sunset over the landscape.
At Ramsvik Jennie Svärd from West Sweden Tourist Board presented a slideshow of outdoor activities in the region.
Then everybody got cabins but those who wanted could still sleep in Hel-Sport or Bergans tent nearby.
