Söråker: Fågelsången, the Manor House and the Beach Promenade

Fågelsången, the Söråker beach promenade and Söråker Manor House appeal to different travel interests: nature, exercise and history. Bio Hjärtat adds cinema and live broadcasts to these themes, while dining and local produce bring in culinary connections. If you are looking for accommodation in Söråker, you can first consider which of these interests should shape your choice of location. The options range from forest and pasture to a route around three kilometres long, as well as architectural history, culture and local food.

Nature between deciduous forest and pasture

The Fågelsången nature reserve in Söråker consists mainly of tall deciduous forest and open pastureland. This combination brings together two types of landscape: tree canopies and open pastures. If nature experiences are a priority when choosing your stay, you can consider Fågelsången as a focus in its own right. The nature element here is clearly defined by the landscape of the reserve and can be included in your travel plans alongside interests in exercise, culture or food.

Walk or cycle along the beach promenade

The Söråker beach promenade is designed for pedestrians and cyclists and is about 3 km long. It was completed in 2012 and is maintained by Timrå Municipality. Barbecue areas and picnic furniture are also part of the facilities. This means the route offers both exercise and opportunities to take a break. Its approximate length gives you a practical measure for planning: you can consider whether you would like to use the promenade on foot or by bike, and what role rest stops should play in your day. There is parking by the boat harbour on Båthamnsgatan at the Söråker beach promenade.

A manor house with a history and a present-day use

Söråker Manor House was built in 1853 by J.C. Kempe. It is one of the oldest manor houses in Timrå Municipality and has a well-preserved exterior. Today, the building operates as a modern conference venue. Together, these details give the building both a historical and a contemporary dimension: its year of construction and builder relate to its origins, while its use as a conference venue describes its current function. Its well-preserved exterior is also a specific point of interest for anyone drawn to architecture and local history when choosing where to stay.

Cinema, live broadcasts and an award

Bio Hjärtat can show live satellite broadcasts of concerts, theatre, opera and sporting events on a nine-metre cinema screen. The types of events listed give an idea of the range covered by this cultural offering. The cinema was also named “Cinema of the Year 2024” by Folkets Hus och Parker. For a particular evening, it is worth checking the current programme, as both the programme and technical capabilities may change. This lets you consider the award as a cultural detail in its own right and check what is currently on offer when planning a cinema visit.

Dining and local produce

Two different aspects of Söråker are relevant to culinary interests. Gamla affären grusvägskrog is a roadside restaurant and wine bar. Local vegetables and tomatoes are also grown in Söråker without chemical pesticides, with a focus on flavour. The area’s profile therefore includes both dining and local food production. If you would like to take both into account when planning your trip, you can include the restaurant and wine bar as well as local growing as another culinary point of interest.
