Nature plays an important part in Swedish culture.
The people of Sweden have a reputation of being strong and adventurous. Whether you are a rugged explorer or you prefer adventure on the soft side, you will never run out of things to do in Sweden.
Have you stayed at the world famous Ice Hotel?
The renowned Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi outside Kiruna is the world's largest hotel made of ice and the rooms, suites, church, sauna and bar are carved from blocks of pure, solid ice from the Torne River.

Sweden has a very long coastline with about 221,800 islands to discover. So no wonder the coastline is Sweden's most popular natural destination. Exactly how big and how many are the moose reigning the vast forests of Sweden? The moose Having come as close to a symbol of Swedish nature as possible, the King of the Swedish forest; the moose (Moose) deserves an extra presentation. The moose is common all over Sweden, except for on Gotland and the in very north. It is the largest deer animal in the world, 2 metres in height and weighing up to 400-500 kilograms. The Swedish moose is a close relative to the North American, but usually does not reach quite the same size. But Sweden has a very large population with about 100,000 moose shot during hunting every year. The total population is around 250,000 which makes Sweden the country with the highest density in the world. Naturally, visitors have a very good chance seeing one in the wild, and some areas in Sweden have guided tours for visitors interested in meeting the King of the Forest where the Halle-Hunneberg area is the most recognised. The fact that the moose is very common and also a very large animal is also a great security problem on the Swedish roads. Warning signs are put up along extra frequent crossovers and, fences protect the main highways.
