I was desperate to return to the mountains of northern Sweden for another long multi-day hike. It is so beautiful up there, and my favourite time is early September.

Utklippan is Sweden’s southern most set of islands. I consists of a pair of islands named Norraskär and Södraskär. The islands are very low lying and there is a harbour in between them.

Kungsleden runs from Abisko at the northern end, to Hemavan at the southern end. During the winter months it becomes a ski trail, impassable in walking boots. I was up here in the …

It consists of around 10 lakes dotted around woodlands, making the scenery and landscape views very beautiful. The largest lake, Långasjönäs, has sandy beaches and beautiful clear waters making it the perfect …

If you are flying into Copenhagen for a break or holiday, it is only an hour’s drive over the bridge and into Sweden so it can be considered if you are in Sweden or Denmark. Skånes Djurpark is filled to the brim with lovely things to see and do, but in a very laid back, uncluttered …

Or you could just pitch up at one of its many fire pits and enjoy some stunning scenery while cooking on a camp fire. Almö naturreservat is a contrast of two halves. The northern part …
