As modern as its society is, Sweden is a country full of seemingly untouched nature and ever-present history. First stop for many visitors is historic and compact Stockholm, full of heritage, home to the Vasa Museum and gateway to the Stockholm Archipelago.  Yet, you haven't seen Sweden until you've admired its natural side. Its wide natural landscapes offer a multitude of splendid vistas and sights, from dense forests to crystal clear lakes, waterfalls and rolling mountains. The stunning but rugged wilderness of Sarek National Park, called “Europe's last wilderness” by some, is a challenging but highly rewarding area to explore. It was the first of a list of 29 established national parks and is part of the vast and Unesco protected terrains of Laponia, together with the national parks Padjelanta, Stora Sjöfallet and the taiga and ravines of Muddus National Park. Set out to spot elk, wolverines and more Swedish wildlife or visit in winter for a chance to see the magical Northern Lights. Kosterhavet maritime park is the place to go for lobster or seal safaris.

Sweden

You can start you tour in the area by getting around Klarälvsbanan. A very good and level bike path to the north from Karlstad, spreading in big length along the river. Among the activities you can experience a safari in the area where you probably may encounter beavers, moose or even wolves. Alternatively, you can go for some rafting on the river Klarälven, which is one of the best ways to explore the countryside.If you want to try some traditional regional cuisine, try the typical moose meat (älgkött) which is considered to be a regional specialty.

Värmland

Probably Sweden's most beautiful golf course.
