Let's continue the hiking tour through southern Sweden
Last time I finished by taking a rest near a little creek in the middle of the forest. I didn't really meet any people along the way, and if you have never gone solo hiking this can be both a pleasant and also a bit of distressing situation. Especially when you are younger (which I was when making this tour). But eventually you tune into a slower pace of rhythm balanced with the nature around you. It's all a question of mindset really!
I discovered tracks that day, but I guess it was only a smaller animal (no wolves!), maybe a racoon or a badger? If you know, let me know!
As it is generally speaking quite wet in these areas, there are many amphibious animals as well as dragon flies. One even made friends with me :)
And of course (depending on the season) you will discover many many mushrooms. As I don't know much about them (especially in terms of eating them) I just left them where they were standing and took some pictures which reminds me of a quote:
Take only pictures and leave only footprints
when you are in nature.
The nice part about this area is that you won't be completely alone in the woods. You will once in a while stumble upon some houses which are lived in. It's an unexpected surprise seeing a lawn that is freshly cut in the middle of the woods! But Swedes love their private places in nature!
I made rest for the day in this little shelter. It's not much, but just enough! I was always happy when there was a fireplace around so I could make some food.
In the morning I was greeted with a beautiful scene: fog on this lake which I was sleeping next to. Real magic!
This day took me to many more lakes with a scenery that I could never get enough of. The water is so fresh and clean that you can just drink it! The only thing missing perhaps is a ride on its gentle surface.... but maybe that is to come! ;)

Hmm... the footprints look like a badger. It was necessary to put something to compare the size. Great outdoor walk! You need to get out of the noisy bustling city more often to relax your soul. The views are wonderful!
exactly, city life really is full of stress! And thanks for the tentative confirmation ;)
Lucky you!!! This is my dream vacation spot. Enjoy the rest of your time there, letting time slow to a crawl, keeping time by the sun. Lovely post.
I have to confess that this has been some summers ago... wish I could so easily go back there again!
oh I wish you could too! So many wonderful things recede, as life proceeds
Enjoyable path through the woods, what a lifestyle living in a small home away from the city excellent escape!
Mist rising off early morning water, little sprouts dancing in tune with nature, lovely photography!
thank you, it's a lovely place!
I could live there quite happily!
These landscapes remind me of Henning Mankell's novels almost always set in Scania in the south of Sweden with those endless landscapes covered with snow and the forests of trees of those latitudes.
Regards @tobetada.
ha, haven't heard about them! But yes, it's exactly that scenrery :)

A very refreshing place to go hiking or relaxing.

These views are so nature perfect. Must be quite an experience!
I'm in love with these landscapes, it is really beautiful <3
I'll make another post continuing the tour :)
Southern Sweden is home to some of the most beautiful lakes in the country. From the crystal-clear waters of Lake Siljan to the picturesque setting of Lake Vänern, there is no shortage of stunning lakes to explore in this region.
In addition to its lakes, Southern Sweden is also home to a variety of nature reserves and national parks. This includes the High Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is renowned for its dramatic coastline.
I know you are having a good time my friend. Cheers
