Just 20 minutes from the city, the Montes de Malaga Natural Park is a good escape if you want fresh air and quiet. It’s all hills, pine forests, and winding dirt trails — great for walking, cycling, or just taking a break from the coast. If you're lucky, you might spot eagles, owls, or even a wild boar. There’s also a small museum that offers a glimpse into the region's traditional winemaking and olive oil practices. Best accessed by car, though there are also hiking routes that start just outside the city.

Ronneby has the beautiful Brunnspark but also a cultural treasure— Bergslagen. A real neighbourhood with buildings and street structures dating back to the Middle Ages. Here, you can stroll in cultural-historical environments along narrow winding alleys behind the Holy Cross church with its vast collection of Renaissance art. There’s also a home-built museum and art exhibitions at Ronneby Cultural Center in the area.
