NORDIC SAGA ADVENTURE

Download PDF Detail Document

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.

If you want to add an additional day to your adventure you can enjoy a canoeing trip down the cold flowing waters of Stångån creek, passing several cultural sights and enjoying a sense of wilderness.

"I had a very good experience. It was more personalized that I had imagined it would be. I didn’t get the sense that our guide, Olle was performing a job, but more that we were out-of-town guests that he was showing around. Olle was very knowledgeable about a multitude of things, the two Peters on the farm were very nice, as was Annette, and the main cook, Karin, was very warm and personable. They all accommodated my special dietary needs very graciously, and I enjoyed the meals. I enjoyed all the activities, although I could have done with a bit more horseback riding and just slightly less hiking and/or canoeing... I was very comfortable during the trip. The accommodations were newly made, and I appreciated the private bathroom. It was also nice to have our own kitchen in the downstairs of the house, although I did not use it during the trip. I slept very well given the levels of exhaustion I experienced from a full day of exertion... I enjoyed the food, especially since the food was varied and interesting. Meals were always an experience. I found everyone to be helpful and very much enjoyed the experience. Thank you!"
