Day 1 – Dawn & Drive, through Green and Blue
Meet your guide and fellow travelers for the expedition at 09:00 in central Stockholm. We’ll have an introduction in a local cafe to the expedition program and to each other. After getting to know the other travelers we start heading North by air conditioned minivan through beautiful Swedish nature. The further we get the more spectacular the area becomes! During this drive we often see: moose, deer and birds of prey. We’ll have some stops on the way and also have lunch. We’ll arrive to a nature information center where we get to learn some about the area we will be entering. Before heading out, we take time to learn the best way of packing a backpack for hiking in Sweden! Upon arrival to a national park we gear up and eagerly start the trip. This part of the hike will lead us through a valley with deep pine forest, untouched by humans for decades and decades. These woods are as from a fairy tale, and contain flora and fauna that are only able to live in very unpolluted and bio diverse environments. A personal favorite of the guide, this part of the expedition is very undiscovered. We will also pass lakes, waterfalls, beaver dams plenty of truly beautiful unspoiled nature! In the late afternoon we arrive to a cabin where we will have the choice to either sleep inside or camp outdoors. After a campfire dinner we have the opportunity to use dusk for beaver and moose watching!
Day 2 – Past Canyon and Isle
During the seond day we will cross over spectacular canyon! The geological interference on the land will be very clear to see, and we’ll hike over bare rock peninsula’s of different color. Afterwards we start the climb towards without a doubt one of the best viewpoints in Sweden! Another highlight of the day will be making way through the spectacular rift valley, an area where the earth has parted in two leaving a thin, long stretched crack of over 30 meters high! We will have a break at a deserted cabin at a lake where we get to eat, regain energy and warm up if necessary. Once more fresh we continue over canyon paths, being able to see all over the Baltic Sea! That’s when we start descending and heading down to the islands where we will spend the night. Again, we will be able to choose between a cabin and camping outside.
Day 3 – Over Beach and Panorama, Dusk and Done
Waking up to birds chirping we climb out of our sleeping bags and enjoy breakfast.This day we will hike along the shore line, and we’ll come past ceremonial graves that are centuries old! We enjoy a coffee break on a beach and take the time to take in the views. We make our way back to the van and conclude our wonderful time in the outdoors! First things first, we head to a lunch place where we enjoy the luxuries that we have been missing out on. With a satisfactory full belly we start heading back to Stockholm, where you will (hopefully!) enjoy being in the city again in contrast to the expedition you just experienced!
