Autumn hikes: Colorful adventures in the forest

When autumn sweeps in with its golden and red hues, the Swedish wilderness is transformed into a living work of art. It's the perfect time to lace up your boots and go on an autumn hike, where you can enjoy the fresh air and the tranquility of nature.

Wander among the colors of autumn

The autumn forests offer some of the most picturesque hiking trails in Sweden. Join us on a journey through dense forest where the leaves change from green to red, orange and yellow. Some of the most popular trails are the Kungsleden in Lapland and the Sörmlandsleden near Stockholm. Here you get to experience the splendor of autumn's colors up close, and with a little luck you can also see wildlife such as moose and deer.

Tip: Plan your hike early in the day to enjoy the best lighting when the sun hits the colorful leaves. Also bring a thermos with a hot drink to keep you warm during the breaks.

Combine hiking with mushroom and berry picking

One of the great joys of autumn is the opportunity to pick mushrooms and berries during your hikes. Chanterelles, blueberries and lingonberries are common finds in Swedish forests. Combining hiking with mushroom and berry picking not only adds an extra dimension to your nature experience, but you can also take a piece of the forest home with you.

Tip: Bring a mushroom basket and a small knife to carefully cut the mushroom at the root. Don't forget to follow the rules of the public domain and only pick what you can use.

Take part in traditional autumn activities such as moose safaris

Autumn is also moose hunting time in Sweden, and it is a fantastic opportunity to participate in a moose safari. Follow an experienced guide and learn more about the life of moose in the Swedish forests. Seeing a moose in its natural environment is an impressive experience that gives a deeper understanding of the Swedish wilderness.

Tip: Moose activity is most intense during dawn and dusk, so plan your safari for these times for the best chance of seeing moose.
