The abundant nature, untouched forests, wild animals, and breathtaking scenery of Sweden’s nature are waiting for you. This off-trail hike takes you through the oldest forest of Sweden’s southern half, rich in fauna, flora, and history.
In the morning we pick you up in central Stockholm and drive you deep into a nature reserve. During the ride, your guide tells you all about the area’s nature, geology, and wildlife.
When hiking, we avoid mainstream paths and stay mainly off-trail, occasionally on rocky terrain, to immerse us into the preserved environment. Because of the nature reserve’s size, at times we use local trails. Though for the most part, we trek off the beaten path.
As we move through this calm atmosphere, your guide informs you all about the forest’s plants and animals. Highly rich in bird life, you can spot pygmy owls, woodpeckers, or even the rare capercaillies, and some large mammals like moose or deer might cross our path. The many lakes and streams attract beavers, so we may see their dams and “houses” in picturesque settings. With a bit of luck, we might meet the beavers themselves!
Using our new wildlife knowledge, we pick delicious wild berries and mushrooms as we roam. When we need more than forest snacks, we take a break and enjoy a cozy campfire lunch.
We finish the hike with a visit to a tiny settlement, where people have been living since the Iron Age (that’s the 11th century AD!). Finally, your guide takes you back to Stockholm, arriving around 4 pm. The day ends with a renewed appreciation for nature and a true glimpse into the magnificent Swedish wild.

We were so happy with our hike. Ben, our guide, made it really special for us. He's very knowledgeable, he knew wild fruits and plants, mushrooms, and was as excited as we were with the hike! We hike on and off-trail, picked lots of berries on the way, went to a couple of lakes, had lunch around a campfire and had an amazing time. I recommend this to anyone keen on experiencing nature in Sweden.
