We have collected some Christmas holiday tips to do during the Christmas holidays. All tips are kind to both the children, the environment and the wallet.

1. Borrow books from the library

Reading is like traveling. And visiting a library can also be an experience. Why not try a library outside your own city? Take the train to Höör, Eslöv or Hörby. Discover their library and finish by enjoying a coffee at the local café. Guaranteed to be cozy for the whole family. You can find all the cafés in the middle of Skåne here >>.

2. Discover the forest

Packing your backpack with a thermos and some sandwiches is an adventure in itself. Take the train to one of our beautiful nature reserves, go for a walk, play hide and seek, climb all the rocks, see who can see the biggest tree, look for colors or just discover what the forest is like in winter.

At every lake and in our hiking areas you will find barbecue areas that you are allowed to use. We will help you find them and all the information you need. You can find more information about our lakes here >> or read about our hiking areas here >>

3. Visit a new place with your dog

Explore MittSkåne together with your dog, maybe you can try some new walking trails and enjoy our beautiful nature. Check out long enough hiking tours for the whole family here >>

4. Be an explorer for a day

A whole day without any must-do’s is a day for adventure. Pretend you’re an explorer, bring a pad and a pen and take a train or bus to a place you’ve never been before. Investigate, look with a magnifying glass and find out the history behind the place. We give tips on fun and exciting attractions here >>

5. Fix a bird helper

It can be difficult for birds to find food in the winter. You can help them. Best of all, you can use string and cardboard boxes left over from Christmas presents. This is what you need:

A piece of cardboard or an empty toilet roll

Twine

Peanut butter

Bird seed

Take a piece of cardboard left over from one of the Christmas presents. Cut out a shape that you want. Maybe a circle or a heart. You can use a gingerbread man mold as a template. You can also use an empty toilet roll. Make a hole at the top of the cardboard. Attach a string there. Then spread peanut butter all over the cardboard and then dip it in bird seed so that the entire cardboard is covered. Hang the bird feeder in a tree.
