Mountain walks in Bohuslän
|
Tours for a taste of the great outdoors and Swedish eco-tourism at its best. Walking packages with two or three overnights through the wildest parts of Kynnefjäll. |
Kynnefjäll
Kynnefjäll’s is located in west Sweden in the north of the province Bohuslän. A wilderness area that feels more like the taigas of the north of Sweden than an area near the southwest coast. Here, you walk through magical forests, across open moors covered with heather, and past many glittering lakes. Sometimes you can see ospreys high above the lakes where the black-throated diver breeds, and in the bogs you can see cranes strutting and hear the melancholy call of the golden plover.
You walk on your own
You walk on your own, without a guide, aided by a detailed map complete with tips of exciting experiences along the way. The nights are spent in a comfortable and cosy two-bedded cabin at the hostel/camp. You arrive in the afternoon/evening and after unpacking and settling in you can take short walk in the surrounding area to get acquainted with the terrain. In the evening,
we go through the next day’s walk including maps, weather, suitable clothing and useful advice.
Every season has its charm.
Every season has its charm. The spring and early summer with bird song and blossom. The summer with buzzing bumblebees, raspberries, blueberries and warm dips in clear waters. Late summer with a basket full of mushrooms, a bucket of lingonberries and still warm lakes. Autumn with even more mushrooms, crystal-clear days and sparkling colours.
After walk
After a lovely day’s walking at your own pace, you can enjoy a wood-fired sauna, refreshing dips in our bathing pond and hot coals in the barbeque house. You bring your own food to barbeque and finish the day in good company around the campfire before it’s time to say goodnight.
