Foraging in the Swedish Wilderness

A vast array of treats are hidden in the deep forests and mountains around the Scandinavian tundra, with its maze of countless lakes and clear air. Chanterelles, lingonberries, mountain buckwheat, cloudberries, spruce and reindeer lichen. Tighten your laces, bring a wooden basket for the mushrooms, buckets for berries and head out to fill your own treasure chest. Winter gets so much richer when the pantry holds dried goods and a self-produced jam from your journey. The Swedish ”Right of Public Access” is a unique opportunity allowing you to spend time in the nature and savour the richness of what Mother Nature produces.

Mindful Bird Hunting in Sweden

Hunting in Sweden, as hunting in general, is not a simple thing. It is easy for the uninitiated to focus on when the shot is fired, but very little in hunting is about the actual kill. Instead, the soul of the hunt, the sense of presence and the interaction with your dog and nature – as well as the satisfaction of bringing home food to the family is what makes hunting so special. You have to be extremely alert and focused at the right time. Perhaps it is just this reflectiveness, the close-to-nature experience and the reclaiming of the self that is the point of the hunt. The closeness to the origin of your food. Everything becomes clear, scents and sounds appear. It’s about pleasure and something that we all carry with us – the desire for freedom.

Climbing Sweden - an Adventure Among the Clouds

The stone face I’m holding onto is warm, below me, the canopy of branches is silent and slowly rustles in the breeze. The atmosphere is silent apart from the occasional climbing command “Belay on”, “Climbing”, “Slack”. Stuguberget is probably the most popular climbing spot in Jämtland Härjedalen, Sweden. A collection of nine interjoining rocks and over 100 different climbing routes, located besides a glittering river that attracts climbers from near and afar. Climbing requires focus, meditatively eliminating every other thought in your mind and becoming one with the wall. Successfully, standing at the top, and the wonderful feeling having defeated the rock which is now under you.
