YOUR HOLIDAY GUIDE TO SUMMER SWEDEN

SWEDEN IS FANTASTIC

Our oblong country has so much variation. From the sand beaches in southern Sweden to the lush gardens and green forests and the wilderness around the Skanderna mountains. We are met by thousands of lakes, each with its own features and ecosystem. At the same time, business owners and enthusiasts are constantly finding new experiences in this enormous land mass we are borrowing.

One example is all the people who are running the campsites that jointly form the basis for this magazine. It’s difficult to come up with a better way to experience Sweden than to stay at one of our many campsites. For this year’s edition, we visited some of them at three very different regions in Sweden.

We visited the border between Lappland and Jämtland where the Wilderness Road winds its way across the mountain plateau. We also took a trip through Bergslagen, where Sweden emerged from the iron ore mines hundreds of years ago, and we explored the swimming mecca Laholm Bay, with its never-ending beaches of fine sand. And, of course, much, much more! We hope you find your next dream holiday in this year’s edition of the Camping.se magazine.

NATURE QUIZ AND SUMMER NOSTALGIA

Sweden is the fifth largest country in Europe, and there is so much to discover here. We have World Heritage sites and national parks that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, but what do you actually know about them? To test your knowledge, there are a few quizzes in this year’s magazine, about everything from World Heritage sites to lakes For example, do you know which lake in Sweden is the deepest?

NATIONAL PARKS

There are 30 national parks in Sweden, from Stenshuvud in the south to Vadvetjåkka in the north. Thanks to their status as a national park, they have the strongest protection an area can receive in Sweden. Here are three that are well worth a visit. Find other parks at www.sverigesnationalparker.se.

HAPARANDA’S ARCHIPELAGO

Spend long days in Haparanda’s archipelago and experience something new every day: lovely beaches, fishing from rocky outcrops, or berries and mushrooms in the forest. You just might see seals and unusual birds from the east, such as the greenish warbler and the little bunting.

QUIZ: WORLD HERITAGE SITES

What is a World Heritage site, in reality? The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been designating World Heritage sites since the 1960s, with the aim of strengthening global fellowship as part of efforts to maintain world peace.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish National Heritage Board are tasked with submitting proposals for Swedish World Heritage sites. They define a site as “an area, an environment or an object that in a unique way shares the history of the planet and its people. They represent natural or cultural memories that are of the utmost universal value.”

There are 15 World Heritage sites in Sweden. How many of them can you name? Read more about Sweden’s World Heritage sites and check your answers on page 19.

SONFJÄLLET, HÄRJEDALEN

In Härjedalen, Jämtland, the peaks of Sonfjället tower above the evergreen forest. This is one of the areas in the country with the most bears, and it’s also home to elk and lynx as well as lemmings, grouse and the Siberian jay. The inland ice has clearly left its mark on nature.

STORE MOSSE, SMÅLAND

This is Sweden’s largest bog south of Lappland, with expansive views that bring to mind the high mountains. On the paths that have been built over the bogs, you gain access to more than 7,500 hectares, and there is a good chance you will see several of the nesting wetland birds.

UNESCO also recognises intangible cultural heritage: traditions, customs and practices that have been passed down for generations. For Sweden’s list includes pölsa (hash), spettekaka (pyramid cake) and knäckebröd (crispbread), as well as the right of public access, fäbod culture, smorgasbord, and the tradition of Swedish fika.

SWEDEN’S MOST COMMON LAKE NAME

The most common name for a lake in Sweden is Långtjärnen (Long Lake). Black Lake, Big Lake, Perch Lake and Little Lake are also common. Read more on page 20.

BUZZING BUMBLEBEES

In Sweden there are 40 different types of bumblebees, and their work is very important for nature and, by extension, the human race. There are different kinds of pollinators, but bumblebees are the best! When bumblebees visit a flower, the proteinrich pollen sticks to their legs, and they bring it home to their larva and queen. They also suck nectar through their snout to have the energy to fly around. Bumblebees are also not aggressive – they rarely sting. Take care of our striped friends, and let them carry on with their work this summer!

PUBLIC RIGHT TO NATURE

In Sweden, everyone has the right to be out in nature. This right of public access means that we can freely roam most of the country, picking berries and mushrooms and even spending the night in many places. This custom is hundreds of years old and was recognised in the early 1900s. It became a part of Sweden's constitution in 1994.

ROYAL PALACES

In Sweden, there are 16 royal palaces and other residences, from the Royal Stables, the Royal Palace and Drottningsholm Castle in Stockholm to Gripsholm Castle in Mariefred and Strömsholm Palace in Västerås. All of them are open to the public, and visitors are able to learn about the Swedish monarchy.

EUROPE’S LONGEST ZIPLINE

Are you ready for a real adrenaline kick? Enjoy a breathtaking trip deep in Småland’s forests on Europe’s longest zipline. The adventure at Little Rock Lake is suitable for the entire family and offers a nature experience in a unique area.

The right of public access works because people take responsibility for preserving nature. All behaviour that is harmful to nature is forbidden, but behaviour that is not forbidden is allowed within reason. Here are some tips to consider when you are out in Swedish nature:

Always try to choose the path that has the least impact on nature, and avoid cycling or running on, for example, lichen, moss, meadows and marshes. This also means that you may not go off-road with a caravan or motorhome since this harms nature. This applies basically to all ground that is not a road, a touring pitch or a rest area.

Camping in a tent is allowed in most places unless it is expressly forbidden, for example in protected areas such as national parks and nature reserves. You may also not pitch a tent too close to a private home or with more than two or three other tents since this increases the risk of wear and unsanitary conditions.

No matter where you spend your nights, always take your trash with you and do not leave your food scraps behind –they can spread disease to animals.

Enjoy the wonderful flowers and berries found in Sweden's forests, but remember – don't harm the plant itself. In other words, you may pick a flower as long as it’s not protected, but never dig up the entire plant.

Fires: Often, fires are allowed as long as you take measures to ensure they won’t spread or harm nature such as rock faces or stone blocks.

Fields: You may walk between fields, but be careful to not step on any plants.

Fauna: We want to avoid stressing animals if possible, especially if they are with their young.

3 PARKS IN THE SOUTH

There are plenty of theme parks in Sweden, for everything from the wilderness and water parks to carousels. Here are three in southern Sweden that we can warmly recommend.

WORLD

This park in Vimmerby, Småland, is the very definition of a fairytale world. Experience Astrid Lindgren’s timeless stories and fascinating characters through living theatre, where the kids are at the centre of the action.

KING OF THE BARBECUE

In 1951, metal worker Georges Stephens had a brilliant idea. He wasn’t happy with the open barbecues of the time – he thought they were too susceptible to the elements. He worked at the factory Weber Brothers Metal Works outside of Chicago, which made large metal buoys for ports. George cut one of the buoys into two and attached legs to one half and turned the other half into a lid. And the rest is barbecue history.

INTERNET FOOD

The Tiktok app is more popular among young users than both Facebook and Instagram, and simple, visually appealing recipes are a large part of its success. Here are three favourites to impress the youth around you!

The largest amusement park in the Nordics has something for everyone. This year is the premiere for Luna, a roller coaster that goes forward and backward. At 33.5 m, it’s the fastest and highest of its kind.

PASTA. Fill a casserole dish with cherry tomatoes and marinate with oil and spices. Add lots of feta cheese and let sit for 25 minutes. Mix with pasta and enjoy!

CORN. Cut corn on the cob lengthwise into four sections on a stable cutting board with a stable knife. Brush on a marinade of oil, lemon pepper, garlic powder, chilli powder, salt and pepper, and place on the grill.

TORTILLA. Fold a large tortilla into four quarters and then cut from one of the folds into the middle. Fill each quarter with ingredients, and then fold one piece on top of the next until each quarter is on top of one another. Grill. Find more grill tips on page 16.

GEKÅS – ONE-STOP-SHOPPING

3. SIX WORLDS AT THE BORÅS ZOO

Visitors to the zoo explore a dino park, the African savannah, the Nordic forest, Simbaland and the farm, and will see everything from dinosaurs to lions, tigers, apes and seals. There is also a playground and plenty of ice cream.

This well-known shopping centre in Ullared is a favourite. In addition to one-of-a-kind shopping, the area features a campsite, semi-detached homes and apartments, restaurants and glamorous shows.

FAMILY SUMMER AT LAHOLM BAY

Europe’s highest sand dunes, bright pink ice cream kiosks, shallow water and cosy camping nights. We set out on a road trip along Laholm Bay and discovered a Swedish summer holiday perfect for families.

The lush trees arch like a roof over the river. The roots wind their way down into the glistening water, and we are reminded of tropical locations in the Caribbean. Instead, I am in Halmstad on the west coast of Sweden. Or, more correctly, on the Fylleån river, which has a tendency to flood in the springtime. Today we are floating down the river on a n SUP board, an activity that has become increasingly popular over the last few years.

“It's not hard. You can probably stand up,” calls twelve-year-old Dennis, waving his paddle in the air while avoiding some stones in the river.

I have been joined by the Eno family from Halmstad. They had been wanting to rent SUP boards from a local company, Kitekalle, for several years, and it was finally happening. Dennis jumps and plays on the board as if he were born on it. Mama Jenny Eno falls off with a splash. Laughing. The sun is hot, and the cool, calm river is a pleasant break from the salty sea a stone's throw away.

“The best thing about Halmstad is its proximity to the sea. And then all the different nature. Like this! It feels like we’re abroad,” says Jenny, smiling.

It is peak summer in August, and my road trip will take me along Laholm Bay, from Tylösand to Hovs Hallar at Bjäre peninsula. This stretch has

not only one of Sweden's longest continuous sand beaches but also impressive sand dunes, varied nature and charming swimming spots. Laholm Bay is also called Sweden’s swimming paradise, and it is no secret that many of Sweden's most beautiful beaches are here in Halland.

HOMEMADE IN HALMSTAD

In the summer, Halmstad offers cobblestone streets, cosy cafés, leafy forests and fun playgrounds. It is also close to the beach, with high sand dunes just begging to be slid down. A walk along Vallgatan, lined with quaint, half-timbered houses, is like stepping 500 years back in time, and if you follow the Nissan river southward past the castle and down to the sea, you can eat lunch at Söderpiren while digging your feet into the smooth sand.

“I view life as an amusement park, with a haunted house and roller coasters – peaks and dips that tickle the tummy.”

There is a long queue winding its way out of Tivolikiosken and bright-pink Glasskiosken –two fairy-tale worlds side by side that enchant both adults and kids. My Feldt is a mother of four, a baker and an entrepreneur. She has appeared on TV, written books and enticed visitors to Halmstad with sugar buns, colourful toys, games of Memory and luscious ice cream.

“We want to make things that make people happy! I view life as an amusement park, with a haunted house and roller coasters – peaks and dips that tickle the tummy. At an amusement park, the air is always sweet, like it is here,” says My, laughing.

PIRATES AT SUMMER PARADISE

Tylösandsleden is a 25 km cycling trail that takes you from Halmstad Castle to Tylösand’s rolling beaches and Galgberget’s leafy forest. The trail is perfect for bikes and cars, and hikers can follow Prins Bertil´s trail, an 18 km easy hiking

trail that starts from the castle in the middle of Halmstad and continues along the coast, all the way to Tylösand. A stop at Möllegård Café and Riccardos Glassfabrik will make you think of northern Italy, with gelato and wood-fired pizza ovens. Families with slightly older children can check out Halmstad Wake Park in scenic Grötvik – an adventure park on water!

People began to seek out swimming areas for relaxation at the beginning of the 1900s. Prior to this, Tylösand was frequented by smugglers and pirates, which is evident in the names of it beaches, such as Tjuvahålan (Den of Thieves). Today, Tylösand is a summer paradise with 4 km of sandy beach, a pulsing after beach and great golf courses.

The golden afternoon sun embraces me as I wander barefoot along the expanse of golden beach. Some robe-clad locals are heading down for an evening dip, while a group of volleyball players prepare for the Swedish championships

The beaches at Laholm Bay are some of the longest in Sweden.

Lunch and a coffee break are never far away.

My Feldt bakes and creates joyful experiences in her three themed shops.

that will be played the coming week. On a hot summer day, today’s almost-empty beach can be filled with up to 50,000 visitors.

A bit further north lies Haverdal, which has one of Scandinavia’s highest sand dunes, Lynga. Pack a picnic in your rucksack and challenge the family to a bum slider race down the hill! The family campsite Haverdals Camping and its well-maintained adventure golf is close by, and anyone wanting to watch the sun set can simply drive up the coast and cut across the field with grazing sheep to the Skallen viewpoint.

NOT JUST HOCUS POCUS

Gullbrannagården is located south of Halmstad just outside of Laxvik. The Christian community Svenska Alliansmissionen bought it in the 1960s as a conference venue. In the 1970s, they chose instead to focus more on camping, and they were one of the first to start arranging programmes and activities. Today, Gullbrannagården is one of the most popular camping, conference and camp venues along Halland’s coastline, with a capacity of 1,500 visitors.

“You should have seen the magic show this morning! It was so popular we did not have room for everyone! And tomorrow is the bottle race in the river. You’re coming, aren’t you?” asks Ewa Bylander, site manager at Gullbrannagården.

I have checked in for my stay in a caravan. The campsite is full, and there are families with kids everywhere, but it doesn't feel crowded. The greenery, the hill and the different areas create a pleasant atmosphere. Around 400 activities are offered in the summer, and one high point is the Gullbranna festival that attracts artists from around the world.

A short bike ride brings me to the sea, where the Gullbranna nature reserve and the Gullbranna beach appear to be a pristine oasis untouched by tourism. I meet the Ucar family from Unnaryd here; they are on a road trip from Lysekil to Laxvik. They have been coming to Gullbrannagården for five years.

“We love the surroundings, the beaches and the kids’ activities. Tylösand is beautiful, and the Gullbranna festival is fun for the kids. We feel at home here!”

SWIMMING SPOTS WORTH THE TRIP

Halland’s swimming holes dot the coastline. The expansive beaches at Mellbystrand and Skummeslövsstrand attract summer guests to Sweden. At the end of the 1800s, a steam boat began to take visitors across Lagan to Åmot to go swimming. The journey then continued on horse and cart to untouched Mellbystrand. Today, the coastal road parallels the entire beach, past Mellbystrands Camping where you can stay with 14 km of sandy beach outside your door.

TIP!

Cycle Tylösandsleden, a 25 km cycling trail from Halmstad Castle to Tylösand. Or hike Prins Bertil´s trail, a gem close to the coastline.

Pizzas are served hot right out of the wood-fired stove at Möllegårds

“We love the surroundings, the beaches and the kids’ activities.”

Café.

The Ucar family from Unnaryd is on road trip through Sweden, and they are checking in to Gullbrannagården for the fifth consecutive year.

The Carlsson family is having fun at Kungsbygget Adventure Park outside of Båstad. The high ropes course is the park's most recent addition.

Laholm Bay is perfect for families with kids looking to swim.

Pet sheep and rabbits at Lögnäs Gård, only a short day trip inland.

Norrvikens

Trädgårdar is an oasis for both young and old. Don't miss Hasse’s Happy Garden, a playful park for kids.

Continuing south is Skummeslövsstrand and its kid-friendly shallow water, and only a stone’s throw inland is Laholm, Halland's oldest city with a cosy city centre, a dreamy park and a creative drawing museum that has a studio where visitors of all ages are welcome to let their creativity flow.

RURAL AND URBAN IN SYMBIOSIS

A short side trip from the coast is Lögnäs Gård, an old renovated farm that is home to Barnens Lögnäs, a kids’ oasis with cute sheep, goats, pigs and rabbits interspersed with don’t-touch-theground obstacle courses, lianas among the hay bales and a café in the stall.

“We are the light version of country! It is only 10 minutes to Båstad, but you still get to feel like it’s the country,” says Linda Andersson, who runs the farm with her husband.

I go through the stall and out through the paddocks where there are kids everywhere playing gently with the animals. There are obstacle courses and swings. Goats are grazing freely, and the atmosphere is electric. Continuing on towards the Bjäre peninsula, I stop by Skottorps Mejeri, which sells cheese made with their own milk. Visitors are welcome to watch production through big glass windows. I also make a quick stop at Kungsbygget Adventure Park – a Wild Kids world and the perfect amusement park for a cloudy summer day only a thirty-minute drive from Båstad.

“Yes, you can't just lie on the beach,” laughs Tony Carlsson, who has come here from Ljungby with his two daughters.

They eagerly climb up to the new high ropes course, which allows visitors of all levels to climb, swing and zipline through the forest. I catch a glimpse of the Swedish prince Carl Philip and his family as they head toward the summer toboggan pass. The enthusiasm in the line infects others even from far away.

EMBRACED BY THE SEA

4 FAVOURITES for the whole family

SOLBACKENS WÅFFELBRUK

This cosy waffle café is located just north of Båstad and has a breathtaking view. Sit next to a gurgling creek among the aromatic lilacs and honeysuckles and enjoy waffles of the highest quality.

KVARNEN IN KNÄRED

This 17th century mill is intact and is a museum run by the couple Lisbeth and Roland. In its beautiful surroundings, you can walk along lovely trails and swim in the mill’s waterfall, and in the summer groups can book tours in advance of their visit.

RICCARDO’S ICE CREAM

This very popular ice cream can now be bought at Mellbystrands Camping. Riccardo makes the ice cream using a family recipe that calls for hazelnuts from Italy, Swedish raspberries and Belgian chocolate.

HALLANDSGÅRDEN

Travel hundreds of years back in time at the Hallandsgården Open Air Museum at Galgberget in central Halmstad. Walk around among old buildings and experience life as it was before. The perfect family destination with a playground and café.

ACCOMMODATION at Laholm Bay TIP!

Stop by Hasse’s Happy Garden, where kids can learn more about flowers and bees – and don't miss a lovely lunch in the orangerie.

The Bjäre peninsula is also called the Provence of Sweden thanks to its rolling hills with vineyards, leafy forests and expansive meadows. Båstad has earned its reputation as a summer metropolis thanks to tennis, but at the beginning of the 1900s it was already a popular spa destination for visitors seeking fresh air and the salty seaside. From here, you can take a boat to Halland’s Väderö island, visit the hiking paradise Hovs Hallar, or wander through Norrviken's gardens, a green oasis for both young and old.

My trip is nearing its end. I wander out on the dock in my bathrobe on my final night to visit the cold bath house Båstad Kallbadhus. The original from the 1800s was destroyed by storms, and the new one opened in 2009. Waiting for me there is a warm sauna, a pool, and the cool sea that embraces Laholm Bay so beautifully.

This is the slogan behind Gustav Johansson's vegetarian food universe, Jävligt Gott! Do you want to eat more vegetarian but find it hard to start? Don’t miss his top tips here.

Many of us would like to eat more vegetarian, but we don't think that meat replacements taste as good. For Gustav Johansson, an unhealthy living after too much fast food during his years as a student catapulted him into a career in vegetarian cooking.

“I didn't feel well, so I thought I would try eating vegetarian as a challenge to myself, but also to see if it would make me feel better,” he says.

“After a while I didn’t want to eat meat at all, but I still wanted to eat ‘normal food’ and hamburgers and not need to live off of falafel and vegetables.”

Gustav realized he needed to break free from the meat norm – that meat is equal to food, and food is therefore equal to meat.

“It is not the meat that determines if food is good – it is how good you prepare the food.”

It wasn't that long ago – only 10–15 years – that vegetarian selections were much worse, and Gustav believes that many who tested back then are still traumatised. The selection is completely different now, as is the knowledge among chefs and restaurants.

Gustav started his food blog Jävligt Gott!, which has since grown and won many awards over the years. His speciality is preparing vegetarian dishes that are easily mistaken for meat.

“You have to remember to prepare food for all the senses. It has to look good but also familiar. A brown lentil salad with kale can be really tasty, but it will look unfamiliar to many, and they will therefore not even taste it.

Vegetarian food is perfect for satisfying our sense of smell since many pleasant aromas are plant based. Then all that is needed is to work with the texture and learn how vegetarian food should be prepared to create the characteristics we expect from our food: juicy, crunchy and the right chewing resistance.”

Gustav’s top tips for a vegetarian burger: Use formable mince. Add vegetable bouillon and some Chinese soy sauce to add umami. Spice with grated garlic, black pepper, some ketchup or BBQ sauce for sweetness. Add canola oil for extra juiciness and flavour enhancement. Shape and grill just like burgers – and add your favourite toppings!

“It isn't enough for vegetarian food to be good for animals, nature and your health. It must be delicious as well!”

QUIZ!

Sweden’s 15 largest lakes

How many can you guess? Answers to the bottom right.

SEVEN SPARKLING LAKES

Sweden has around 100,000 lakes. Here are a few that stand out from the crowd.

Wherever you find yourself in Sweden, you can be sure there is a lake close by – the country has more than 100,000 lakes larger than a hectare. They cover almost 10 per cent of Sweden's surface area. The exact number is hard to specify since it is constantly changing due to land rise/sea lowering, erosion and overgrowth.

LAPPLAND

Most of the lakes in Sweden, and the deepest, are in the north. The largest lake north of Jämtland is Torneträsk, which covers 330 km2 and is framed by mountains. Many of us have also probably gotten to see this spectacular view on the way to Abisko, Riksgränsen or Björkliden from the E10 highway or the railway that runs along the south side of the lake. In the spring, you might even see a spring flood in the Torneälven river.

RUNN, DALARNA

Dalarna has no shortage of lakes, and one of the biggest and most loved is Runn, which covers 65 km2. Sea gulls, woodcocks and visitors from far away gather here year round for all kinds of activities. One big asset is Dalarna’s small islands, which promise wonderful kayak/SUP adventures.

HORNAVAN, LAPPLAND

Hornavan is Sweden's deepest lake and is 228 m at its deepest. It is in Arjeplog Municipality in Lappland, and the town of Arjeplog sits on a peninsula at the south end of the lake. It is surrounded by popular recreational areas for outdoor enthusiasts, and the mountains offer breathtaking views of the lake and town.

ÅSNEN, SMÅLAND

In southern Småland, there is a lake that together with its immediate surroundings is also a national park. With a surface area of 150 km2, it has more than one thousand islands in a vibrant lake archipelago that sea eagles and osprey call home. The lake is best explored by kayak or bike, and we strongly recommend a trip up Lunnabacken for an unforgettable view of the area and buzzing island life.

NEDRE GLOTTERN, ÖSTERGÖTLAND

Deep in the forests of Kolmården lies this gem at the heart of a large nature reserve. The lake is perfect for both swimming and fishing, and the surrounding nature makes it an excellent day trip thanks to beautiful hiking trails that also take you to other lakes close by.

RISSAJAURE/TROLLSJÖN, LAPPLAND

This lake, which is said to be Sweden’s clearest, sits at the bottom of a stone valley. The translation of its name says it all: Glistening Lake in Saami and Troll Lake in Swedish. Despite its ice-cold temps, divers flock here for its unusually deep visibility (30 m).

HAMMARSJÖN, SKÅNE

This 8 km-long lake at Kristianstad’s southern point is a shallow floodplain lake and never gets deeper than 1.5 m. This has made it one of the most species-rich lakes in Sweden, and it is located in the Kristianstad Vattenrike biosphere. It also has 38 documented types of fish, and no fishing permit is required in Kristianstad's channels.

HISTORICAL ADVENTURE IN BERGSLAGEN

What is Bergslagen? Geographically, it is an area in central Sweden where the earth is full of precious metals. Culturally, it is where our country began to take shape, one iron ingot at a time. Without the hidden treasures of this area, Sweden could not have become what it is. But Bergslagen has now moved on from mining – even though small reminders of its history are always present.

TEXT: JOEL LINDE PHOTO: JOHAN STRINDBERG

During the Middle Ages, there was a rush in Bergslagen, but not for gold – for iron ore. Bergslagen had the perfect trinity: iron ore in the mountains, forests for fires to smelt the iron ore – and cascading water to turn the wheel and operate the bellows. The industry grew, and workers came from far away, like Germany, Scotland, Finland and Holland, to create a good life for themselves in the mines.

For hundreds of years, the ore from these mines built Sweden, the mountain men emerged as a ruling class, and the economy flourished –and not just in Bergslagen but all over Sweden, which had access to the material needed to build infrastructure and equip a powerful army. At one point, iron represented three-fourths of Sweden’s exports.

Unlike most county borders, Bergslagen’s outer borders consisted of nature. Water.

Iron ore. Forest, and from it, fire. These elements were reflected in the region's flag: blue, green, orange and black.

PRIMAL POWER UNDER OUR FEET

“Bergslagen is nature.” These words come instinctively from building custodian and blacksmith Mehiel Högström as he restores the hinges on a sturdy gate belonging to the Göthlinska Gården in Nora, which is well worth a visit.

“It’s where we come from. All of the primal power that is found here under our feet.”

His forge is in Nora, a small town in the middle of Bergslagen, known for well-preserved wooden buildings with flamboyant gardens and fruit trees, rose bushes and peonies that vie for the attention of passersby. The town’s residents had – and might still have – the Swedish king Gustav Vasa himself to thank for the elevated status they enjoyed after his decision to allow

Bergslagen has more cycling trails than anywhere else in Sweden. Bergslagen Cycling has maps and info on the terrain and difficulty of all 157 trails in the area. A stroll through historic Nora promises lush greenery, picturesque shops, and colourful wellpreserved wooden façades. Norasjön lake glitters in the east.

Smelting cabins were a common sight in Bergslagen. Iron was smelted in Borns Canal between the lakes Norasjön and Fåsjön from the Middle Ages until 1858. Born’s power station is still standing, as seen in the photo.

Experiencing the unexpected flavours of Nora-Glass is a must when in Nora. Lova Lawenberg holds up a popcorn waffle at Kafé Strandstugan.

the mountain men to sell their iron ore in the town. Nora flourished, the railway was built, and at the end of the 1800s, the old medieval church was torn down to make room for a larger, more impressive church more representative of Nora’s status and worth.

If you visit Bergslagen, a stroll through Nora is a must. Be impressed by the oversized church and wander around the beautiful brick station house from the late 1800s and the other architectural gems in the area. Kafé Strandstugan offers an idyllic view of Norasjön lake, shade under the trees and a delicious summer lunch – the shrimp sandwich and the quiche with Västerbotten cheese and mushrooms are both excellent options. Don’t fill up, though, because the café is known for its dessert: NoraGlass.

Jubileumsbägaren is the big seller, we are told, but we still go with something else because we can’t resist the cloudberry jam with whipped cream and the popcorn and caramel sauce with peanuts. Here you will find impressive ice cream creations that are as odd as they are delicious.

North of Norasjön lake is Tre Sjöars Väg, a 30 km winding and hilly country road filled with glimpses of the past: stately manors, beautiful lakes and thunderous rivers. In other words, the perfect excursion that is best experienced from a bike. You get to choose – will you cycle around one, two or all three lakes? Norasjön is marked as easy, while Fåsjön and Usken have more hills and are considered harder. There are multiple cafés, rest stops and fantastic swimming along the way, and there are also trails in the woods.

IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF OUR FOREFATHERS

The mountain men made a fortune in Bergslagen, but for many of the workers it was a hard life. From their simple cabins in the woods, they walked at dawn to the mine and descended into the deepest of darkness. Twelve hours later, they climbed back up to the surface to reunite with the sky and perhaps their family waiting for them in the cabin. And so it went, year after year, decade after decade, century after century. The paths they trod were abandoned as the industry changed, but Bergslagen’s forests have been forever marked by these centuries. And these paths live on, thanks to Bergslagen's rebirth as a recreation mecca, where cycling in particular has emerged at the forefront.

posted mountain bike trails.

“This is a success story. Places like Hjulsjö have flourished thanks to cycling. Tourism is really important – it is a revival for the area.”

Fog dances across Sörälgen lake on an early morning in August. It arrived the night before as the sauna on the beach was being heated with birchwood. It is easy to imagine how legends grew out of sights like these. Sörälgens Camping is a cosy campsite nestled between a forest and lake. Owners Heidi Schlapbach and Markus Althaus are into their seventh season. They are not big campers themselves, but they enjoy trying new things. When they saw the campsite was for sale, they were struck by its fantastic location and didn’t hesitate. They come from Switzerland and initially did not know much about Bergslagen, but they soon noticed what draws the visitors.

“They come for the nature. Here, they come for the Knuthöjdsmossen nature reserve, particularly birdwatchers. But also hiking, cycling and everything around the old mining industry. And we sell a lot of fishing permits!”

IN THE HEART OF NATURE

During our trip, we see lots of cars with canoes and kayaks strapped to the roof. Next to the 125 km-long Svartälven river, Sico and Els Dob run Hällefors Kanotcenter. Their ambitious wilderness tours attract not only kayakers but also people looking for an unforgettable experience in nature. Their trips span from 1 to 21 days. When we arrive, Sico is sitting with a young German-speaking couple, looking at a map and giving detailed tips and descriptions of the terrain. They will then be driven north along the river so they can paddle back, spending the night along the riverbed.

We get a ride with Eric Larsson, who comes from Värmland and has lived in Bergslagen most of his life.

TIP!

Göthlinska Gården in Nora has been around since the late 1700s. Visit the museum, garden and waffle house Selma G.

“These paths are fantastic for cycling because they are so well trodden,” says Simon Tullstedt from Bergslagen Cycling.

The municipalities in Örebro County have been working together for the past ten years to promote the excellent cycling conditions of the old paths of the miners. It began with 100 km of trails and then continued to expand beyond the county, ultimately creating today Sweden's longest network of more than 1,000 m of sign-

“I am a jack of all trades. I help out with just about anything around here,” he declares as he fastens our kayak to the trailer.

He has worked in industry his whole life, but jobs have disappeared as the scope of automation expands, even if the extraction of minerals in the area continues on a large scale.

Now he shows off Svartälven, quiet, winding and full of life, which was once a cog in the industrial machine. He remembers when timber transports filled the river as recently as a few decades ago. These days, visitors can expect to see something else.

”It’s a success story. Places like Hjulsjö have flourished thanks to cycling.”

“You have a 90 per cent chance of seeing a beaver. There are lots of them. Hare, fox, heron. And elk –they come to eat the roots of the water lilies. You might hear wolves talking to one another across the river. But they never cross it.”

GRYTHYTTAN AND GASTRONOMY

If you follow Svartälven river a few kilometres south, you will come to Grythyttan, a small town that makes a huge impression. Popular garden furniture might come to mind for some, but for others it is the gastronomy. Grythyttans Gästgivaregård opened in 1640. About 300 years later, gastronomy profile Carl Jan Granqvist from Örebro took over the restaurant. Carl Jan has had a strong influence on food in this region, both through Gästgivaregården and the opening of the School of Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Meal Science at Campus Grythyttan. But we are turning our gaze today to a location further east – to a sheep farm in Bredsjö.

In one respect, the farm we are approaching is rather unique. Fertile and leafy, it is one of the few farms in the area actually used for farming. Bergslagen is not known for its fertile soil – the ground here is filled with stones – but poppies thrive, and they are then fed to the milk sheep.

“Everything is built around the ironworks that was once here. They were making iron ingots until 1962, making it Sweden’s next-to-last charcoal smelter. My mother and father took over the farm in 1987, and since then it has been producing sheep milk,” says Sara Staffare. She and her husband Carl Johan Granqvist, son of the previously mentioned gastronome, have recently taken over the farm.

The old red cabin, now a café and dining hall, has an 1830s style, with massive old tables and a mishmash of wooden chairs. The murals on the walls are re-creations of an original from one of the farms close by.

Bredsjö Ostcafé & Bondgårdsbistro is best known for its flagship cheese: Bredsjö Blå.

Grythyttan wine is made from cloudberries, apples, wild raspberries, berries and birch sap.

There is a good chance you will see elk and beaver while kayaking on Svartälven river, especially at dawn and dusk.

Bredsjö Hård cheese is also a best seller, but there are many tasty options to choose from. The cheeses vary in flavour and character depending on how long they were aged, and they are served with rhubarb and rose marmalade and crispy homemade flat bread. Don’t forget to ask for the local cloudberry wine from the wine-making duo Per and Ingunn in Sävenfors, or if you want something lighter – the local Nora Lättöl beer.

The sheep farm has grown into a stable business over the past 35 years. The new, young managers are confident about the future in these times of change because Bergslagen is no longer filled with mountain men and miners. It is now a place to spend time in the wilderness and enjoy good food.

FUN WITH FOOD

There are plenty of tasty food festivals in Sweden, from asparagus, rhubarb and raspberries to fermented herring and big harvest celebrations. Here are a few examples.

POTATO FESTIVAL ALINGSÅS, 16–18/6

Sweden has potatoes to thank for a lot. The Potato Festival is one of Sweden’s oldest festivals – more than 40 years old. During the festival, Alingsås is transformed into a bubbling celebration of food, music, meetings and displays. By tradition, the festival is opened with potatoes and herring. Visitors can expect a broad selection of food as well as music and other performances.

STRAWBERRY DAY

VARA, 30/6–1/7

Summer means strawberries! Strawberry Day is a folk festival in Vara that has been held the weekend after Midsummer every year since 1985. The programme consists of entertainment, market stands, activities and an amusement park, and it is all free – even the strawberries! It is hard to imagine what would make a better mascot for a summer festival.

FERMENTED HERRING PREMIERE ULVÖN, 17/8

Ulvön island in the High Coast is a must for all fermented herring lovers. Fishermen had already settled here in the 1500s because of the whitefish, salmon and herring. The area’s ties to fermented herring run deep, and the premiere is always held on the third Thursday of August. And don’t miss exploring the picturesque fishing villages.

ÖLAND HARVEST FESTIVAL ÖLAND, 27/9–2/10

Farmers have been gathering on the fertile fields of Öland since 1997 for a big harvest festival. The island-wide festival features clothing made from the wool of Öland’s sheep, marmalade and mulled wine, salami, cheese and sausages – and everything in between. The festival also features almost 1,000 activities in addition to the harvest itself.

What does BBQ mean?

It is short for “barbecue”, which derives from the Caribbean word “barbacoa”, a wooden frame construction in which the Taino Indians smoked their food.

SMOKEHOUSES ARE TRENDING

IMNÄS BARBECUE, HIGH COAST (IMNÄS)

If you are planning a trip to the High Coast this summer, don’t miss Imnäs in Sollefteå. With a view of the Fjällsjöälven river, you will get a glimpse of historic Sweden. Old log cabins, farming equipment, and carts from two centuries ago create a unique atmosphere. And we haven't even mentioned the meat, which is smoked and grilled to perfection and served with the perfect side dishes. Vegetarian alternatives available.

HOLY SMOKE, BRÄCKE

JULINS BACKYARD, KARLSTAD

The culture of gathering in someone’s backyard around a smoking grill is strong in the US South, and perhaps most of all in Texas. It is this feel that Julins Backyard is striving for. The meat is smoked in smokers filled with Swedish red oak. Preparing the meat is an art form that includes a lot of rubbing, spraying and love. Chose from ready-to-order menus or pay by weight and choose your favourites.

SMOKE BARBEQUE & BAR, KARLSKRONA

You’ll find this smoking hot waterhole out on Björkholmen in central Karlskrona. In addition to the large, delicious pieces of beef, chicken wings, salmon, corn, broccoli and everything else, you will be thoroughly entertained. This smoke house offers not just a food experience to die for but also an impressive lineup of wellknown Swedish artists and first-class entertainment under the same roof!

This beloved BBQ restaurant with a clear Texan influence opened its doors in 2014. Since then, the gospel has spread. And it is no wonder – the meat is prepared for up to 24 hours and never less than a few hours, dissolving in the mouth in a sensational taste explosion. The beef comes from a carefully selected farm in Arkansas – with quality always first – and the pork and chicken come from Skåne. There is something for the entire family, even if the kids usually end up by the fire roasting marshmallows.

WILD ROADS UP NORTH

Travelling along the classic roads of Norrland is a both relaxing and adventurous way to discover the mountains of Sweden. The Wilderness Road may be the most spectacular, and many motorhome travellers spice up their trip with cycling and hiking.

Mile after mile passes. Forest gives way to moors, with soft mountain silhouettes on the horizon. Endless asphalt that seems to stretch into eternity. At least that is how it feels when travelling by motorhome along the Wilderness Road.

Strömsund is the entryway to this popular classic. All you have to do is head west towards Håkafot and the adventure begins.

This scenic and wild road in northern Jämtland

passes Stora Blåsjön lake and the Stekenjokk plateau and continues on into southern Lappland all the way to Vilhelmina. The stretch totals more than 500 km, including returning to Strömsund along the Inland Road.

The first leg, along Ströms Vattudal towards the border town of Gäddede, is beautiful, dotted with waterways of all sizes that draw anglers from all over the world. Both trout and char are biting here, along with whitefish, grayling and pike.

TEXT: CENNETH SPARBY PHOTO: DANIEL BERNSTÅL

WILDERNESS ROAD

Sweden's highest asphalt road stretches across the beautiful Stekenjokk plateau and is open from early June to mid-October. Until the middle of July, no parking is allowed with the exception of two locations along the 5 km stretch. The aim is to keep traffic moving and not disturb calving reindeer. There is also a bird protection zone that limits accessibility in the area between 10 June and 10 July. More info is available at www.lansstyrelsen.se.

It is also a journey into the land of Dunderklumpen, a movie by Swedish author Beppe Wolgers from the 1970s that utilised both cartoons and real actors. Traces remain in the area, including the giant Jorm, a statue 6 m tall standing at the folk museum in Strömsund.

A few hours down the road by car is the impressive Hällingså waterfall, Sweden's version of the Grand Canyon. The Hällingsån river plunges over a cliff that is almost 45 m high, down into Sweden's longest canyon. It is aweinspiring to experience the rainbow over the frothy waterfall and feel the high humidity.

Anglers will be content in Gäddede since the lakes west and north of the village are said to offer Jämtland's best sport fishing.

Next to Tourist Information is Frostviken Mountain Park, which introduces visitors to the nature along the Wilderness Road, with plants from the distinctive mountain world. Watch how fast the alpine sow-thistle grows or search for meat-eating plants in the marshland.

If you take the short detour via Viken Chapel and Sandnäset, you can buy organic barley

flatbread at Maud & Olof Eriksson’s flatbread bakery, which has been baking award-winning flatbread since the mid-1960s.

Jormvattnet next. Ola Sundqvist and Elin Eriksson offer riding adventures on Icelandic horses here.

The couple has received multiple awards for their eco-tourism company, including recognition for being “Natures Best”. They arrange full-day or week-long adventures on the back of a horse in high mountain terrain.

“There are endless possibilities for riding here along the border to Norway,” he says as we eat lunch next to a small lake. Fried reindeer and flatbread tastes delicious after a few hours in the saddle.

Ola also mentions Beppe Wolgers’ movie.

“This was where he got his inspiration for Dunderklumpen.”

After the ride it is time for the wood-fired sauna and a refreshing dip before dinner at Korpens Öga, a stylish longhouse with Icelandic features. On the menu is whitefish roe on flatbread, fried char and cloudberry ice cream.

Bring a cup and drink directly from the mountain streams.

Stekenjokk offers unique cycling experiences! Thanks to Boliden's old mines, these high mountains boast almost 300 km of gravel roads and paths perfect for terrain cycling.

OLD MEETS NEW IN THE SAAMI LANDSCAPE

A new day with high mountains in sight. First, a visit to Ankarede to experience Saami culture and the 19th century chapel at the Ankarvattälven river’s outflow into Stora Blåsjön lake. A traditional Midsummer celebration is held here every year, as well as a Christmas market the first weekend in December.

Hiking enthusiasts will find here an easy 4 km trail to Lejarfallet waterfall, a popular destination.

At Stora Blåsjön lake and the turn-off towards the church town is the popular restaurant Fjällripan, which is run by Alexander Nilson, aka the “angry chef” from a Swedish TV programme.

A bit further north, the adventure starts in Stekenjokk on the border between Norway and Västerbotten. A vast mountain plateau with several thousand-meter peaks.

This 16 km-long stretch over the mountain is only open in the summer, normally from the second week of June to the beginning of October. The scenes that meet the snowploughs in late spring at 900 m altitude are often spectacular, with the snow almost 3 m deep and the walls after plowing towering sometimes 6 m high.

If you want to experience the mountains from a bike, Stekenjokk has some of the country’s best cycle trails thanks to Boliden's old mining area, where copper was heavily mined from the middle of the 1970s until 1988. Up on the plateau at an altitude of more than 800 m, there are still almost 300 km of old gravel roads and paths, perfect for terrain cycling in the high mountains.

UNDERWATER ADVENTURE – AT HIGH ALTITUDE Klimpfjäll and Norgefarargården await. This village and farm were once the last stop for our farmers heading to Norway to trade.

Ewa Hed runs a café at the old inn that has a view of Kultsjön lake, the Marsfjället peaks and the Autjoklimpen mountain. It also houses a museum and farm shop.

“I’ve had the café since the mid-1980s,” she says, and the menu is appealing with waffles and cloudberry jam and hot smoked char on freshly baked flatbread.

She recommends Fatmomakke Church Town next to the upper part of Kultsjön lake and next to the mighty Marsfjället peaks. Fatmomakke is a Saami site of cultural importance that dates back to the 1700s. It was used to gather parishioners during religious holidays – and only then. There are around 80 tipis, 20 log cabins and a church from 1884.

Saxnäs is just over a 30-minute drive east. Today, the village is dominated by Saxnäsgården, originally an old inn that has been used for a number of different things and is now a restaurant. Saxnäs is a must for adventurers looking to fish, hike and kayak. One person making this happen is Nils

WILDERNESS ROAD TIP!

The hike from the old Saami village Ankarede to Lejarfallet waterfall is 4 km. At the waterfall, there is a rest area and a BBQ pit, perfect after a hike along the river.

Hällingså waterfall outside of Gäddede is 43 m high, and the water plunges into an 800 m canyon. There is info about the nature reserve and the waterfall at the parking lot and picnic tables and fire pits next to the falls.

Fatmomakke Church Town and Culture Reserve dates back to the 1700s.

Åslund of Stalo Adventures.

For almost ten years he has offered guided tours in nature, on foot, by bike, and with a wetsuit, face mask and snorkel to look for trout and char in the gushing waterways.

The trip continues on towards Vilhelmina, past the impressive Trappsteg waterfall with its large parking lot and café, and along the wide Malgomaj lake.

Saiva Camping, which dates back to the 1960s, is the perfect place to rest. With an idyllic setting next to Baksjön lake, guests can go on guided beaver safaris and fishing trips.

“The Wilderness Road definitely contributes to Saiva's popularity,” says campsite owner Petter Rosborg.

He took over the campsite about 15 years ago and has seen an increase in motorhome guests.

“When I started, caravan guests were the majority. But now motorhome guests represent almost 80 per cent of the overnight stays.”

And the campsite is close to Vilhelmina Church Town and its 19th century timber houses. A destination in and of itself, says Petter.

And no visit to Vilhelmina would be complete without stopping by the classic café Stenmans, which is back in a new guise. Pralineriet is another must – especially for chocolate-loving coffee drinkers.

So there is plenty to do before heading back to Strömsund, closing the Wilderness Road circle.

This town is the home of Norgefarargården, a farm that was once the last stop for farmers travelling to Norway to sell their produce. The farm also marks the start of Norgefararleden, a crucial winter road for those travelling by horse and sleigh to Norway. Today you can hike or cycle all the way to Susendalen in Norway.

BJURÄLVEN AND THE CORAL CAVE

The Coral Cave next to Bjurälven nature reserve is a must for adventurers. It is Sweden's longest cave system, stretching over 5 km, and borders on Bjurälven nature reserve in the north. The area features a partially underground river, rare stone formations, small lakes, collapsed caves and crater-like depressions.

RICKLUNDGÅRDEN

This Mediterranean-inspired whitewashed home sits in Saxnäs on a hill with a view of the mountains. It was once a home for artists Emma and Folke Ricklund. A piece of art and architectural history, it is a museum during the summer.

FIND YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY ADVENTURE

Adrenaline junkies, nature lovers and active families with children – everyone feels good from inspirational surroundings. Why not try something new on your holiday! You can always ask the reception at your campsite for ideas.

KLARA RIVER ON A SELFBUILT TIMBER RAFT

On the shore of Klara River, you can build your own timber raft using techniques from the 1700s. The satisfaction of floating on your own raft is tremendous regardless of the length of the journey – stay away for a week in a tent raised on the raft itself or just go for a day trip. Book at Klarälvens Camping.

SURFING PARADISE APELVIKEN

Well-known among Swedish surf experts, but rookies can also catch their first waves here. Book a surfing course at Destination Apelviken – kite, wave and wind surfing for all levels.

KAYAK SAFARI OR HORSEBACK RIDING?

Next to Sweden's youngest national park, Åsnen, Getnö Gård Lake Åsnen Resort lies on a peninsula attached to the mainland by only a thin strip of land. Kayak safaris in a leafy island archipelago, sport fishing with the possibility from a rental boat, and horseback riding are the signature activities in this Småland paradise. The café Getnös Lantkafé sells snack boxes to bring along on the day's adventures.

FISHING PERMIT AT RECEPTION

Fishing permits for the region's lakes and waterways are usually available at the reception of a nearby campsite. If you ask nicely, the staff will surely also tell you where the fish are biting! Mörrum River in Blekinge is known for its salmon fishing, but Sweden is filled with rivers and creeks.

FLOWING CONTOURS AT STÅNGEHUVUD

A hike in the Stångehuvud nature reserve in Lysekil is a fascinating experience when you visit Bohuslän. It’s the place where the barren yet gently rolling red granite cliffs meet the open sea – Skagerrak. The terrain is relatively demanding, as the hike is uneven in places, with height differences and steps, but the magical nature, the breeze in your hair and the scent of the sea make this a destination well worth a detour.

WORTH A DETOUR!

PLAYFUL GADGETS

If you prefer an active summer, we have found some gadgets that will keep you busy on your holiday.

SUP board

An inflatable SUP board means that you always have access to the lakes covering 10 percent of Sweden's surface area. This size usually works well for one adult and one child.

Biltema, around SEK 1,999.

There are trails with differing degrees of difficulty at the High Coast.

Three lovely Via Ferrata:

Via Ferrata is the Italian word for “iron path” – climbing routes that utilise steel cables. Here are three options with routes for the Funäsfjällen • Järvsö

Giant Yatzy

Yatzy works everywhere – right? It can get a bit difficult without a good surface for rolling. But these 6x6 cm dice allow you to play in the grass or sand –Biltema, around SEK 129.

Fun at the beach with balls

Tidalball is a simple beach game popular in the USA. The goal is to throw a ball into a hole in the sand, which is always fun. A golf ball or something that size works, too. Amazon, around SEK 300.

Certified Swedish campsites – a safe choice

In 2022, SCR Svensk Camping launched a certification programme for Sweden’s campsites. The certification is an important part of the industry’s long-term quality work and functions as a complement to our rating system.

The certified Swedish campsite sign is a stamp of quality that is only granted to the facilities that meet the certification requirements during an annual review. A stay at a certified campsite is a safe and secure choice for you as a guest.

The certification provides you with assurance that the facili-

Rating of Sweden’s campsites – how it works

Since 1996, SCR Svensk Camping has been regularly rating the offerings and standard of the campsites of members that opted to participate in the rating system. The rating is conducted by an independent party, which visits the campsites every three years. Fivestar campsites, however, are expected to consistently meet a high standard and are therefore visited every year.

A quick overview

The number of stars provides you with a quick overview of the standard you can expect at the campsite. The stars summarise the scores the campsite received within four categories: service buildings, the area, facilities and activities.

The coloured bars provide a more detailed description of the offerings at the campsite. We have rated here five areas that are important for your holiday:

ty is a serious company, follows applicable laws and regulations and meets the industry’s rules on good business ethics. All SCR members are required to be certified and meet minimum standard requirements and ethical regulations, but participation in our rating system is voluntary. The rating system provides you with additional information about the campsite’s standard and the services available onsite. Together, the two quality systems provide you with the information you need to make your holiday decisions.

The campsite’s sanitary services for personal hygiene (e.g. WC, showers, child hygiene, family rooms), the daily routine (e.g. areas for food preparation and washing up) and other (e.g. Chemical Disposal Points for campers).

The campsite’s infrastructure (entrances, pitch sizes), pitch services (e.g. electrical hook-ups, internet) and surroundings (e.g. waste collection, maintenance of external areas of the campsite).

The campsite’s service offering in the form of e.g. a reception, stores, restaurants and cafés.

Activity areas at the campsite, such as playgrounds, pools, playing fields, mini-golf, exercise paths and bike and canoe rentals.

Organised activities at the campsite, such as leader-led events for kids and adults, shows, troubadours and dancing.

Wilderness camping. Offers a camping experience on nature’s terms. Wilderness campsites are rated but do not receive stars or bars.

Quick and easy check-in

Check in faster at all SCR Svensk Camping member campsites by using Camping-ID or Camping Key Europe. Both are easily accessible via the Camping Key mobile app.

At check-in, reception quickly and easily scans the QR code, and you avoid time-consuming paperwork and registration.

You can also keep track of your camping history via the app’s digital logbook, which shows all your overnight stays at SCR member campsites.

SCR Svensk Camping runs Camping.se, which is Sweden’s largest website for booking camping accommodation and Swedish retailer of the Camping Key Europe card, which is used by one million guests in Sweden and Europe.

DESTINATION SOUTH

SKÅNE • BLEKINGE • SMÅLAND • ÖLAND

In southern Sweden, the proximity to the rest of Europe is noticeable. Vineyards stretch across the plains, and expansive white beaches draw visitors to the clear, glittering sea. Don’t miss the rich harvests from the fertile soil.

When on Öland, expect long days on the beach. Here in Ramsnäs.

in this region

CYCLING IN FAIRY-TALE SMÅLAND

Explore cinematic Småland by bike! Starting in Filmbyn Småland, choose between tours that will take you to idyllic villages in a beautiful Småland setting. You will pass by multiple filming locations from Astrid Lindgren’s fairytale worlds but also other destinations that highlight local businesses.

ÖLAND’S EXPANSES

3 VINEYARDS IN SKÅNE

Experience Provence – in Skåne! Skåne is the perfect destination for wine enthusiasts. Family-owned vineyard Vejby Vingård on the Bjäre peninsula offers wine tasting in a fabulous setting and is a popular stop for cyclists on the Kattegattleden trail. Lottenlund Estate in Allerum outside of Helsingborg was born from a dream of Italy and offers wine tasting and vineyard tours, and visitors to Arilds Vingård can also play the 18-hole golf course next door.

Christofer is the star chef who runs the restaurant Borgholm.

There’s something about its unusual nature, the sea and the everyday quality of life that makes Öland so unique and a place where I enjoy spending time. Experience the vastness of Sweden’s only alvar plains at Stora Alvaret as well as old ringforts and cultural sites such as Ismantorp Fortress, the ruins of Borgholm Castle, Gråborg Castle and Sandby Castle. I think it is fascinating to wander around these places and sense the reverberations of history.

Another favourite for a golfer like me is Linksgolf Öland in Grönhögen, which offers one of Sweden’s most unique golfing experiences. Here, the nature of Öland and golf course merge into one, and the course touches the edge of the sea. I escape to Bruddesta fishing village and the stretch of coast called Stenkusten between Äleklinta and Jordhamn to breathe, find inspiration, and recharge. I try my luck with sea trout, enjoy sunsets and swim in the barren landscape with fascinating limestone formations.

Don’t miss the farm shop Hässleby Grönsaker in the summer and the shops Paradisverkstaden in Färjestaden and Capellagården in Vickleby.

The best restaurants, besides Hotell Borgholm, are Norrings Creperie, Lilla Hamnkontorets Bakficka for smörrebröd sandwiches or ice cream at Kaffestugan in Böda

The best beaches are a given – Bjärbybadet or Bödabukten in the east and Köpingsvik and Sinus in the west.

ISLAND-HOPPING IN KARLSKRONA

In World Heritage city Karlskrona, visitors can island hop in the middle of the city. Explore the colourful workers’ accommodations in the Björkholmen district, browse Brändaholm’s charming cottages, and cross the wooden bridge to Stakholmen island for a picnic on cliffs in the middle of the city. The Naval Museum and its giant submarine and beer tasting at the microbrewery Karlskrona Mikrobryggeri are a must. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets on the quay at Kai Krog.

One day

FLAVOURS OF ÖSTERLEN

Spend the day on a gastronomical excursion. We travel along the eastern coast of south Sweden to experience vineyards, apple orchards and local food of the highest class.

An espresso and steaming hot croissant at the charming restaurant Ruth in Malmö gets us started on our culinary journey east towards the first stop of the day – Ystad. Explore the city in the footsteps of the Kurt Wallander crime series, visit Stationen Bed & Breakfast that served as the police station in the movies, or order a “Wallander pastry” at Fridolfs Konditori. We also check out the spa Ystad Saltsjöbad that dates back to the 1800s and has a front-row seat to the never-ending beach. We then continue on towards Trelleborg for a lunch well worth the detour. Hörte Brygga not only has a beautiful setting in an old harbour but also offers a seasonal menu of the highest class using local produce. Stuffed and happy, we continue to Pastafabriken in Ingelstorp and browse their lovely delicatessen. Here we find dried pasta made on site and cheese and charcuterie from Skåne.

ENCHANTING BOAT TRIPS

Enter a fairy-tale world and the dreamy settings that inspired artist John Bauer to create his illustrations for the folklore anthology Among Gnomes and Trolls. Just outside of Gränna, you can take a boat tour on water-lily filled canals between Bunn and Ören, two of the area’s many lakes. Watch carefully – you might catch a glimpse of a troll or a fairy!

THE WORLD’S MOST DISGUSTING FOOD!

Do you dare to sniff the world's most awful-smelling fruit from Thailand or fer mented shark from Iceland? Disgusting Food Museum in Malmö is an unusual museum that gives you a perspective on delicacies around the world. Look, smell and taste 80 of the world’s most disgusting dishes. The bottle in the picture contains Kumys, which is fer mented horse milk from Central Asia.

Time for a dip! Just north of Simrishamn is Knäbäckshusen beach, which is reminiscent of Thailand or the Caribbean. The fine sand and idyllic location make you want to extend your stay, but we pull ourselves away and head on to the vineyard Skepparps Vingård where we get a glimpse of Swedish viticulture!

Book a wine tasting or time your visit with one of the two festivals held every year – one for wine and one for cider. The farm grows its own apples and also makes cider. We eat our dinner at Talldungens Gårdshotell surrounded by beech forests and expansive views of the rolling hills of Brösarp. Skåne meets the Mediterranean here, and the food is accompanied by beer from the farm’s own microbrewery. When we are in the area, we also don’t want to miss a chance to go swimming at the beaches in Haväng. If we time our trip with the annual Antikmässan in Brösarp – “named Sweden’s best antique fair” – we know what we will do here on a weekend.

MYSTICAL VIKING SHIP

One of Sweden's most well-preserved Iron Age monuments is Ale's Stones in Kåseberga. This stone ship formation, which overlooks Österlen and the Baltic Sea, consists of 59 stones weighing around 5 tonnes each and stretches 67 m at its longest point. The exact purpose of such formations is not known, but one theory is that they were raised to equip the dead with everything they needed, particularly for their journey to the Realm of the Dead.

BEAUTIFUL IN

3 GASTRONOMICAL DESTINATIONS

West Sweden has no shortage of locally produced food, and local farms in particular. Prästgården Skrea Backe lies in Falkenberg, where TV chef Lisa Lemke and her family run Prostens Pizza and the pasta restaurant Skrea Matbruk. Another farm to check out is the winery Ästad Vingård, which currently houses the Michelin restaurant Äng in its huge greenhouse. The gardens at Kosters Trädgårdar create a backdrop for art and music while guests are served freshly baked sourdough bread along with the day’s harvest.

CULTURE IN AN OLD FACTORY

The decommissioned paper factory Fengersfors Bruk from 1901 is currently home to Dalsland’s most beautiful cultural centre. Not Quite offers art halls, galleries, stores and courses, and Brukets Godaste has a menu featuring sourdough bread and pizza from wood-fired ovens. Don't miss the café and the beer brewery with its own brewing courses.

Kristin writes one of Sweden’s largest lifestyle and interior blogs and describes herself as primarily a motivator and source of inspiration.

Proximity to the sea and the explicit surf and spa culture Varberg special for me, and I cannot imagine living in a more beautiful or relaxed place. I like the quietness of the off-peak season, but also the pulse from the summer tourists. Start at the harbour, where there is a glass blower and potter, take a Kallbadhuset, and fortress for a beautiful view. Then walk along the beach on Strand, sit down for an ice cream at the restaurant and walk a few extra Subbe Fyr. Take another dip before following the coastal road to bay, stopping for lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants along the way. Book a table in advance at Johns Place, one of Varberg’s oldest and best restaurants.

If you want to leave central Varberg, I recommend Strömma Farmlodge in Tvååker, a fantastic destination with café, stores, restaurants and great summer concerts. Johnsons Gård is also a popular summer destination, with a bakery, a potter, a flower shop and one of the city’s best lunch restaurants, Spiseriet. My store is at Brukstorget , where I have my own linen collection and our delicious tea mixes. Welcome to Varberg!

SCENIC TRAIN RIDE

Pack a picnic and explore one of Sweden’s most beautiful train rides on the Kinnekulle train! Between Lidköping and Mariestad there is fantastic nature, like the Kinnekulle lookout tower in Hällekis with its gorgeous views of Lake Vänern, the blooming fields of wild garlic in the Munkängarna nature reserve, and the quarry Stora Stenbrottet at Kinnekulle that’s been dubbed “Little Grand Canyon”. There are plenty of hiking trails, such as Kinnekulleleden and Biosfärleden.

KAYAK IN KOSTER

Koster’s archipelago in Bohuslän just might be the world’s most beautiful archipelago for kayaking! Family-owned Skärgårdsidyllen Kayak & Outdoor offers everything from archipelago kayaking to winter kayaking as well as special trips in two-man kayaks for families with kids.

One day

GOTHENBURG’S NORTHERN ARCHIPELAGO

Island-hop by car or bike in Gothenburg’s northern archipelago. Find breweries, saunas, smooth rock outcrops, and gastronomical highlights.

We jump on the boat in central Gothenburg and arrive after an hour at the island Hönö Klåva, where we are met by an archipelago pulse in a cosy harbour filled with stores, restaurants and bars like Lilling Cottage and Tullhuset. (If you prefer to travel by car you won’t be able to catch the ferry from central Gothenburg, but you can catch the ferry from Lilla Varholmen.)

You can also join local Bosse (Hönö Båtturer) on a historic boat tour to the island Vinga, where the Swedish poet and songwriter Evert Taube grew up, but we rent bikes from Paolos Cykel instead and pedal across the bridge to Fotö –an island that is more austere, more charming and quieter.

Wander around the harbour at Fotö, look for the many historical remains on the island, and rent the newly renovated sauna from the harbour association. We then cycle northward and pass signs hinting about the newly inaugurated archipelago trail – a hiking trail that is part of the Kuststigen coastal trail that runs through Bohuslän all the way to Oslo in the north. The charming village of Hönö Röd is next to Ersdalen nature reserve, a climbers’ paradise, while the Hummerviken nature reserve on the island of Öckerö offers hiking trails, shimmering pink granite cliffs and beautiful snorkelling trails.

We then stop at Hälsö Brygga on the island Hälsö for a shrimp sandwich on a dock next to the sea. To explore the outer archipelago, there are free ferries further north that go to the islands Källö Knippla, Hyppeln and Rörö and their tree-less moorlands, genuine archipelago restaurants and fantastic views of Gothenburg’s archipelago

Once back at Hönö, we visit Hönö Brewery’s taproom, which is open on weekends during the summer. Brewery tours are also available. We then jump back on the ferry to central Gothenburg and set off for Bov Discobar for pizza in a playful atmosphere and drinks at Bar Bruno

OFF-THE-RADAR CHEESE PARADISE

Osteria in Falköping has more than 150 types of cheese, including its own aged specialities and both local and global delicacies. Book a cheese tasting or a guided tour of the cheese cellar or rent a Tour de France with French cheese specialties.

DESTINATION EAST

From the castles of Mälardalen and Södermanland, via Östergötland’s archipelago, and all the way to the limestone island Gotland and its unique nature, Sweden's East region almost has it all. Stockholm offers plenty of culture, while just outside the city there’s idyllic countryside.

There are

46 certified campsites in this region

The Gotlandic island of Fårö is dotted with well-preserved old fishing villages.

TROLLEGATER

This nature reserve just south of Linköping is the perfect day trip for adventurers who are not claustrophobic. It is one of Sweden’s largest ancient rock caves that is said to have been used by forest trolls. Even if you do not go all the way down into the caves, the forest is well worth a visit, particularly for families with kids.

MYSTERIOUS ROSLAGEN

Our part of the archipelago is somewhat secret and is best explored on your own. Why not rent a kayak from Kajak & Uteliv? Take a guided tour or just paddle around. In many places you will find yourself more or less alone. In Roslagen, the best swimming spots are like the best mushroom-picking spots – people keep them to themselves. But we can recommend Salskären, with its lovely cliffs, and Kudoxa, which has fantastic shallow bays with sandy bottoms.

Another fantastic destination close by is the Ängsö nature reserve, which has unique orchids and beautiful, pristine nature. The Yellow Boat can take you there if you are a landlubber. Visitors coming by car should stop in Norrtälje, a lovely summer town with cute wooden houses and a nice harbour.

KOLMÅRDEN WILDLIFE PARK

Did you know that Kolmården Wildlife Park is one of the largest zoos in the world? The park opened in Norrköping back in 1965, and today it is home to 60 different species: lions, gorillas, tigers, elephants, giraffes, capybaras, maras, rhinoceros, and many, many more. But don’t forget it also has Europe’s best roller coaster – Wildfire!

And then we are of the opinion, naturally, that anyone visiting this area must go to Högmarsö! Admire all of the spectacular boat dreams at Högmarsö Wharf and check out the yearly exhibition at the gallery ship Gaia. Stock up at what is probably the best ICA grocery store in the archipelago, check out the flea market in the wharf’s workshop, and shop in the newly opened Boutique Au Quai, the perfect place to buy presents for yourself or for others.

SWEDISH TANK MUSEUM

Strängnäs was an important trading city with a lot of power in the Middle Ages thanks to its central location on Lake Mälaren. Today, there are still many signs of the city’s bygone times. Another place to get a glimpse of history is Arsenalen, Scandinavia’s biggest museum for military vehicles, which shows the developments from the early 1900s onward.

ANTIQUES BY LAKE VÄTTERN

Vadstena Antik & Inredning is a must for antiquelovers. The store covers 1,200 sqm in the beautiful old monastery on the shore of Lake Vättern, and you will find interior gems from 18th–20th century Sweden, from Baroque to Gustavian, from lamps to hall cabinets. Clear out some space in the car before your visit!

TO-DIE-FOR WAFFLES

“You have not eaten waffles until you have tried Klockargården’s,” says a satisfied regular. In Grödinge, about 30 km south of Stockholm, this waffle oasis is set in idyllic surroundings that date back to the 1800s. Go sweet with Nutella, ice cream and cloudberry jam or savoury with salmon, shrimp salad or chanterelles. When you can’t eat another bite, we recommend a walk to the 14th century church next door.

One day

COAST TO COAST

There are few places in Sweden that offer both sunrises and sunsets beyond the horizon. One of them is the summer paradise Gotland.

We start the day with a picnic breakfast in the Närsholmen nature reserve in the south-east corner of the island among the sea stacks. If you are here during the spring and early summer, the blueweed burns so intensely it can be seen from sea. Among the blueweed stand single oaks and pines in low, beautiful formations that are reminiscent of the Savannah, but the wild animals have been replaced by grazing cows and abundant bird life. With a little luck, you might even see a sea eagle! Make sure you read any signs and information carefully. But this is not an optimal place to go swimming – we will head south for that.

But first – a coffee break on the beach! Some tasty treats from Bageri Bosarve are perfect for this, and the bakery is housed in an old farm and run by a couple from Gotland, Olivia and Arvid. You can buy organic vegetables from the farm across the road.

After buying some treats, we head to the 400 m-long sand beach Herta – or Hörte, as it can also be written, a shallow gem that is classic Gotland: reedcovered sand dunes, old fishing villages, seaweed and a kids’ favourite – a big ice cream stand.

After spending some time on the beach, we switch to art and culture. We drive through the parishes När and Garde to Etelhem Pottery for lunch at the cosy restaurant in the garden among the pots and sculptures. With renewed energy, we start the Keramikrundan pottery tour here at one of the six contributing potters in the area. You can watch how the potters work and even check out old kilns. Don’t miss the other five potters in the area, either – you are guaranteed to find new favourites at each of them.

As evening approaches, we head west with the sun. We eat dinner at Djupvik Hotell, which has a view of the sea and features local ingredients. After dinner, we go out to the Ekstakusten nature reserve for its raw beauty and round off the day with a magnificent view of the horizon and the Karlsö islands with their special flora and fauna. The municipality maintains several public BBQs here for those that are more inclined to cook their own dinner. We end our day here in southern Gotland, surrounded by limestone and the sea breeze.

HALLWYLSKA MUSEUM

Grand accommodation from a former era

The Hallwylska House located at Hamngatan 4 in Stockholm was completed in 1898. It was home to Wilhelmina and Walther von Hallwyl, one of Sweden’s richest families at that time. The house is now a museum where visitors can experience the pomp and luxuries of the time. Wilhelmina was an avid collector, and the museum has the country’s largest collections of art, porcelain and antique furniture.

Fyrishov - city camping in Uppsala

Uppsala is an historic university town steeped in culture with lots of restaurants and cosy cafés. The Uppsala Cathedral is one of the largest in northern Europe and a must see destination. While here, we recommend visiting the Royal Mounds in Old Uppsala, taking a walk in the old quarters of Uppsala, or getting on the train to Stockholm, a mere 38 minute ride away.

Large campsite (drop in) and holiday village, find bookings at www.fyrishov.se or +4618 7274960.

MIDDLE AGES IN OLD UPPSALA

During the Iron Age, there was a rich and well-developed community around the Royal Mounds. There was a royal estate here, and the area was considered a centre of power for the Svealand province of medieval Sweden. According to local legend, the mounds contained the remains of ancient pagan gods, and finds from excavations in 1846 confirmed that the legends were true. Visit the site and Old Uppsala Museum for an interesting lesson in medieval history.

Leksand promises adventures galore at Lake Siljan’s south inlet.

FOOD + FACTORY

The Bryggeriet district in Nora and its cultural remnants from the turn of the last century – now replaced by crafts, food and drink – are a must. With a microbrewery and a White Guide-listed restaurant, the area is perfect for longer stays. Veronica Carlsson and Erik Lindeberg have put Nora on the Swedish culinary map with their restaurant Bryggerikrogen. In what was once a spark plug factory, they now serve well-prepared food without any frills. The idea is to use as much local produce as possible, natural wine and beer from their brewery neighbour.

CULTURE FOR ALL

Stenegård in Järvsö has something for everyone: summer theatre, large playground and old Hälsinge farms with cafés, restaurants and small crafts boutiques. Barnens Steneland is an adventure for the littlest ones, with a woodshop and painting studio.

Peter Stormare recommends:

HÄLSINGLAND’S WILD NATURE

I always return to Hälsingland to recharge between my movies. The forest and the waterways have left their mark on me.

There is a restful timelessness here, and the landscape has barely changed since I was a kid in Arbrå.

Explore small roads and villages on the east side of Ljusnan, where time really has stood still. The town names are also a bit odd: Iste, Hänsätter, Nianfors and Flästa

I love going to Orbaden Spa. The old lodging house has grown into a year-round business that attracts visitors from near and far.

Orbaden was once a popular spa among the “city folk”. Rumours spread already in the 1920s about a beach in Ljusnan valley that was a notch above the ordinary.

People go there to disconnect, whether at the long sand beach on Ljusnan’s shore or on top of the mountain Åsberget. Don’t miss Bergaliv’s strange hermit cabins on the slope down to Orbaden.

And lovely Järvsö is close by. A blossoming community, thanks to artist Lill-Babs.

PICASSO IN VÄRMLAND

One of the world’s largest sculptures by perhaps the world’s most well-known artist is standing on Strandudden in Kristinehamn. Local artist Bengt Olson met Picasso, and they decided together with Norwegian sculptor Carl Nesjar to build a 15 m-high sculpture based one of Picasso’s works. It was finished in 1965 and since then has been Kristinehamn’s most popular attraction.

CRAFTS WITH THAT LITTLE EXTRA

Don’t miss Rättviks Hemslöjd, a red log cabin from the 1800s with a stylish folk costume museum, a weaving studio and crafts for sale. The shop is run by Handslag, a cooperative of around ten artisans.

One day

A DAY TRIP TO GÄSTRIKLAND

Take a lovely trip to Gästrikland along parts of Tidernas Väg (the Road of Time) between Uppsala and Ockelbo. A trip spiced with wild nature, local culinary delights and lush gardens.

It’s easy to get stuck in Gysinge, about 70 km north of Uppsala. The old mill features the Dalälven river’s waterways and the unique natural heritage in Färnebofjärden national park. Wander through wilderness that has clear Norrland characteristics.

At Naturum, you will learn more about local animals, plants, geology and cultural history. Gysinge Centrum for Byggnadsvård is another highlight, at least for those who like to renovate and maintain old buildings. And lunch at Gysinge Herrgård is particularly tasty, with its beautiful setting along the river.

The Road of Time winds through the landscape, via the coastal landscape around the town of Österfärnebo and Dalälven river, towards Sandviken and Högbo Bruk’s classic outdoor area.

There are both skiing trails and mirror-like ice for skating in the winter, and hiking and cycle trails along Gästrikeleden for the entire family in the summer.

The old iron mill at Högbo Bruk is a reminder of Sweden’s industrial history, and today it houses a cosy café, exciting restaurants, a glass hut and a forge. An afternoon coffee at Gruvstugan is a must – where the cinnamon buns get the highest scores.

Or stop for a coffee at Högbo Qvarn, which is also a popular ice cream café. Perfect for families, since it is right beside Barnens Högbo: a play area and petting zoo with rabbits, goats, alpacas and mini pigs.

After a short trek along the cycling trails and a dip in the lake, it’s definitely time for dinner at Brukshotellet’s popular restaurant, the menu of which features local produce and its own meat.

MUSEUM FOR NOSTALGISTS

In Lesjöfors, 30 minutes north of Filipstads, is a museum that triggers all the senses – a nostalgic journey through Sweden’s welfare state. This working life museum reflects the mill’s – and society’s – more than 300-year history. It has something for the entire family: vintage cars, old mopeds, and a well-preserved machine hall, as well as the intact interior from Folkets Hus, a 1950s apartment, bandy nostalgia and a toilet that entices many visitors to linger.

Mountain trout with pickled quail eggs from Högbo, steam-baked side of pork with apple butter gravy, and freshly ground Wagyu beef from Alunda are some of the signature dishes. The chocolate table with homemade pralines, caramels and cookies that ends the meal is also very popular.

Definitely a visit that will spice up your trip along the Road of Time.

MYTHICAL COTTAGES

If you are looking for old Sweden, there is no better place to visit than the mountain pastures of Valsjöbyn in Jämtland. The pastures have been passed down for generations, and stepping into the area feels like stepping several hundred years back in time. Walk the trails, fish, peek into the cottages and eat some food.

SWEET TOOTH

On the island of Alnön, with a view of Sundsvall’s beautiful bay and about 20 min by car from the city, you can enjoy lunch and an array of baked goods at Virriga Bakverk: from hearty salads and yummy panini to waffles and smoothies. There is also a playground right next to the beach for kids with energy to burn. And before you head back, have something sweet – maybe a summer semla bun with vanilla cream and strawberries. And with it? A cup of home-roasted coffee!

Petter Thylin recommends:

GASTRONOMY AND NATURE IN UMEÅ

Over the past 15 years, the restaurant scene in Umeå has exploded, and it feels good to have been part of this growth.

I love being by the sea in Norrmjöle. We usually make food there over a fire and jump in for a swim in-between. The beach

and shallow water are perfect for families with kids! I also really like hanging out at the coffee house at the top of the Hamptjärnsberget mountain, preferably on bright autumn days.

If you are in downtown Umeå, a visit to the contemporary art museum Bildmuseet next to the river is also a must, as is a fantastic cup of newly roasted coffee from Linda at Costas of Sweden Kafferosteri on the pedestrian street.

BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL

38 m tall and 60 m wide. Wild Tännforsen in Jämtland is one of Sweden’s largest waterfalls. Thanks to the steady and high humidity created by the waterfall’s mist, rare plants and animals thrive in the area.

On Wednesday evenings, the vinyl mecca Be Bop-A-Lula Land at Haga is open until the wee hours of morning. Enthusiasts can browse unusual editions and bond with like minded. Another place I like is Le Garage in Umedalen, which is well worth the short trip. The menu features French classics but also a large selection of Swedish fish and meat. Outside of the restaurant is Umedalen Sculpture Park, which gives you the perfect reason to arrive early or stay late. Wander around among the works of art by world-famous artists, and it is completely free.

WOODEN CULTURAL CENTRE

In the middle of Skellefteå stands one of the world’s tallest wooden buildings – Sara Kulturhus – which was named after author Sara Lidman. It is a 20-storey building constructed from wood from the region’s forests. It is home to a museum, an art hall, a library, a theatre, restaurants, a spa and a hotel. It is well worth a visit, if only to be inspired by the wood construction. Take the elevator up a few floors and enjoy the view.

One day

BY BIKE IN THE NATURE RESERVE

We leave behind the car and the mainland on the yellow ferry from Norrfjärden outside of Umeå. Our destination? The Holmön nature reserve, which is 45 min away by boat.

Our rucksacks are stuffed with everything we need for a summer day in the nature of Västerbotten: sunblock, bathing suits, water, a sweater and a small gas stove. After the ferry docks, we are only a stone’s throw away from Holmöns Lanthandel – a store, a pharmacy, a library and a small café. Here, we buy some ingredients for lunch and grab a coffee.

Our rucksacks bursting, we walk to Holmön Boat Museum, which is open every day during the summer. On display here are six well-preserved local boat models that were used by Holmön island’s fishing villages for many hundreds of years.

SHOOT FOR THE STARS

At Teknikens Hus in Luleå, kids can experience and experiment, play with water and air or make their own paper in the paper machine. There is also a planetarium that shows full dome films and the stars.

MILITARY SECRETS

Deep down in Storråberget mountain on the island of Hemsön outside of Härnösand is one of the country’s best preserved defence secrets – Hemsö Fortress – a military facility from the Cold War. A guided tour takes about an hour, and visitors can stay for lunch and a coffee.

At the museum, we rent bikes for the 3 km trip to Trappudden point to go swimming and eat lunch. Here, over thousands of years as the land rose from the sea, the waves created an expanse of glacial erratics and rolling embankments – just like a staircase, as the name in Swedish implies. Because Holmön island is known for its unique flora and fauna, we take a closer look. Here we find, for example, adder's-tongue fern, perfoliate pondweed, and valerian. If we are lucky we might also spot the rare greenish warbler, which sometimes comes to visit from the east.

The island also has several ancient remains, the oldest from the 4th century. This was when the fishing Saami began to use the group of islands for fishing and hunting. The first families settled on the island in the 1300s, and their farms are still there today.

We bike on towards Kafé Panget, a café that serves hearty salads and homemade baked goods. Lemon poppy cake and a summery blueberry cake taste delicious after our bike ride. After a short break, we head back to the museum and return our bikes. The last ferry to the mainland leaves at 7PM.

In 1796, the Ragundasjön lake was emptied of its waters and a devastating flood wave rushed down the valley. In only four hours, the landscape was forever changed, and the Storforsen rapids fell silent and became Döda Fallet (”the dead fall”). Today, it is a popular tourist attraction.

ÖVERHOGDAL TAPESTRIES

Woven Viking stories

The museum Överhogdals Forngård shares the fantastic history behind one of Europe’s strangest textiles, the Överhodal Tapestries. The textiles were found in the vestry of the Överhogdal Church in 1909, but they were then dated to the end of the Viking era and the beginning of the Middle Ages, around 1000–1100. The originals are now in Jamtli in Östersund, but an exact copy is on exhibit in Överhogdal.

GÖTA CANAL

The Göta canal, which is 190 km long and has a height difference of 92 m, is the greatest construction project in Sweden’s history. Together with Trollhätte Canal and the river Göta Älv, it forms a 390 km waterway across Sweden, from the Baltic Sea in the east to Kattegatt in the west. The canal has 58 locks, each with its own charm. Watching the boats move through the locks is a pleasant pastime. Some of the most well-known locks are located at Berg Locks, Borensberg and Riksberg.

Höga Åsens Camping is a quiet family campsite set in a recreational area with its own swimming. Here, you can swim, fish, cycle, hike or just relax. Kids activities include a kids’ club, playground and ice cream buffet. And if you need a break from the sun and swimming, just jump on the bus to Stockholm for sightseeing, shopping and entertainment!

COTTAGES

Höga Åsens Camping offers a range from simpler camping cabins with bunk beds to fully equipped cottages next to the sea with separate bedrooms, shower/WC and big outdoor areas. We also have new glamping tents that offer extra everything.

Swim from the long dock that stretches into the sea. There are adventures close by for both big and small!
