Experience Visingsös miniature animals

During the summer months, Bengtsgårdens minidjur welcomes visitors to meet their charming miniature farm animals. From miniature horses and cows to goats, sheep, and rabbits, it’s the perfect stop for families with kids!

Among the animals, you’ll find American miniature horses, African pygmy goats, Roslag sheep, Dexter cows, and rabbits.

Visingsö

Take the ferry from Gränna to Visingsö, a gem in Lake Vättern with stunning nature and a rich history tied to the powerful Brahe family. Don’t miss Brahe Church, home to a wealth of artistic treasures. The island is easy to explore by bike or by horse-drawn carriage – remmalag. Here, you're close to nature and can meet alpacas, go horseback riding, or paddle a kayak.

How to get here

Take the ferry from Gränna harbour to Visingsö harbour. Follow the main road towards Nääs. After about 5 kilometres (from the harbour), just after Stigby, turn left towards Bengtsgården. Parking is available on site.

From Visingsö harbour, you can take the ÖA-svängen bus (route 126), which stops at the “Visingsö Stigby” bus stop, about 1 kilometre from Bengtsgården. The bus runs according to the timetable during summer but must be booked in advance during the rest of the year.
