The experience is in focus on this multi-activity adventure in southern Sweden's Highlands. Travel on land and water with different modes of transportation in order to get close to nature. Spend a day or two on foot hiking along lovely trails through the enchanting forest. With some luck you may find both berries and mushrooms, and maybe even spot wildlife. Then take a guided bike ride through the through historic surroundings with a fantastic natural scenery. Enjoy lunches at favorite spots each day and return to your comfortable beds at the farm every evening for dinners and overnight.
