The Fågelsången nature reserve in Söråker consists mainly of mature deciduous forest and open pastureland. Its natural character is clearly defined: forest and open areas together shape the reserve. If the landscape matters when choosing a place to stay, this mix offers a concrete point of reference.

Getting around on foot or by bike

Another point of reference is the approximately 3 km-long Söråker coastal promenade. It is designed for pedestrians and cyclists, was completed in 2012 and is maintained by Timrå Municipality. Rest areas and barbecue spots provide opportunities to take a break outdoors along the route. You can include the promenade in your plans on foot or by bike and consider whether a break or a stop at a barbecue spot would suit your day. Unlike Fågelsången, the focus here is on a defined route and how it is used; the nature reserve is characterized by forest and open pastureland. If you are arriving by car, parking on Båthamnsgatan by the boat harbour is a useful point of reference for visiting the approximately three-kilometre-long promenade.

The manor house and cinema

Söråkers Herrgård was built by J.C. Kempe in 1853. It is one of the oldest manor houses in Timrå Municipality and has a well-preserved exterior. Its construction date and builder make its historical context concrete; at the same time, its present-day function as a modern conference venue is part of the place’s history. Its construction and current operations offer two different perspectives on the same manor house.

Bio Hjärtat is also part of Söråker’s cultural scene. The cinema was named “Cinema of the Year 2024” by Folkets Hus och Parker. It can show live satellite broadcasts of concerts, theatre, opera and sporting events on a nine-metre cinema screen. The 2024 award is a historical recognition; live broadcasts are one of the cinema’s offerings, and its programme may change. If a particular broadcast is important to your trip, check the current programme before planning your dates. The technical capabilities may also change.

Restaurant, wine bar and local produce

The culinary scene includes Gamla affären grusvägskrog, a roadside restaurant and wine bar in Söråker. Local vegetables and tomatoes are also grown in Söråker without chemical crop protection products, with a focus on flavour. The restaurant and wine bar cater to different culinary interests than the growing of produce: one is a food-service business, while the other is local production with a clear emphasis on flavour. The culinary scene thus encompasses both dining and growing produce.

If a particular live broadcast is the deciding factor, plan your dates around the current programme.
