Come along for an overnight hiking trip outside of Stockholm. From start to finish of the tour, you will feel like you’re far away from Scandinavia’s largest city. You will get the full hiking experience of cooking in the wild and sleeping out in nature. The Tyresta National Park is the biggest ancient forest in southern Sweden, with very old trees and lots of wildlife, including deer, boars, moose, and the rare lynx. Although these animals can be hard to see because the forest is so thick, there are plenty of birds to spot, especially owls and woodpeckers.

People have been living in this area since ancient times. Vikings once called this place home, attracted by the natural landscapes formed by the ice ages. It’s a great chance to enjoy nature and learn some history.

We guide you through the dense ancient forest and provide all necessary hiking equipment. Please note, you will have to carry your own equipment (all equipment will be provided).

The tour is suitable for everyone with a normal fitness level (approx. 35km distance), you don’t need to be an athlete.

Travel Itinerary – Day 1
Our adventure begins with a gear check and a detailed briefing about the journey ahead. Staying true to our commitment to sustainability, we’ll take a short ride on public transportation to the trailhead. From here, we embark on a 21 km hike through the scenic outskirts of Stockholm, where rural landscapes, picturesque farmlands, and ancient forests blend seamlessly with the eastern coastline. As we walk, your guide will share fascinating insights about the local environment and history. By late afternoon, we transition from the nature reserve into the southern part of Tyresta National Park, a peaceful haven where we’ll set up camp for the night. After settling in, we’ll gather around for a well-earned meal cooked over the campfire. As the evening winds down, there will be time for storytelling and relaxing in nature, letting the sounds of the forest lull you into a restful sleep after a rewarding day of exploration.

Travel Itinerary – Day 2
Wake up to the stillness of the early morning in Tyresta National Park, a rare moment before other visitors arrive. After enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast, we’ll continue our journey, this time trekking 13 km through the dense northern forests of the park. Our route will lead us past serene lakes, perfect for capturing stunning photos or simply taking a moment to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Along the way, your guide will point out notable landmarks and wildlife as we explore the park’s hidden gems. We plan to finish our hike by midday, giving you plenty of time to return to the city and check into your accommodation, where you can unwind and enjoy lunch after this memorable two-day adventure.

Common questions (FAQ)

When planning your stockholm adventure, it’s important to be prepared for varying weather conditions throughout the year. Each season brings its own unique climate and characteristics, influencing the hiking experience in different ways.

Spring

Our Tyresta National Park hiking tour is a light to medium-light physical activity. Most of our customers have no trouble with the required fitness, as we maintain a relaxed pace. We always ensure that everyone gets the best possible experience and provide extra support if needed. Please keep in mind, that we walk partly off-trail, which adds some additional challenges.

You just need to be in normal health to participate. However, for some customers, it can be a demanding exercise that they may feel in their legs and feet after the activity.

During our hiking tour in Tyresta National Park, you have the opportunity to encounter a variety of wildlife native to the Stockholm area. Keep in mind that our hiking tour is primarily a walk through nature, and any animal spotting is an additional bonus, not guaranteed. Due to the dense forest, any wildlife sighting requires a bit of luck. However, you might keep an eye out for:

  • Deer: These graceful animals can sometimes be spotted in forested areas, though sightings are rare.
  • Birds: Tyresta National Park is home to a wide variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and many songbirds.
  • Hares: These shy creatures can sometimes be seen darting through the underbrush.
  • Moose: While moose are more commonly found in open fields, you would need to be extremely lucky to see one in the forest.
  • Badgers: These nocturnal animals are known for their distinctive black and white striped faces.
  • Roe Deer: Smaller than the common deer, these animals are sometimes sighted in the park.
  • Wild Boars: Occasionally, these animals can be seen foraging in the forest.
  • Squirrels: Red and grey squirrels are abundant and can often be seen scurrying up trees.

Remember to maintain a respectful distance from all wildlife and avoid disturbing their natural habitat. Our guides will help you identify different species and share interesting facts about the local fauna.

Sweden’s unique “Right to Roam” (Allemansrätten) allows everyone to enjoy nature freely, with certain responsibilities. This right means you can hike, camp, and explore the outdoors without needing special permission, as long as you respect the environment and landowners.

Key principles of the Right to Roam include:

  • Respect Nature: Do not disturb wildlife or damage vegetation. Stick to marked trails and avoid trampling on sensitive areas.
  • Leave No Trace: Take all your litter with you and leave the area as you found it. This helps preserve the natural beauty for others to enjoy.
  • Respect Private Property: You can pass through private land, but avoid walking too close to homes and respect privacy. Always close gates behind you.

The Right to Roam is a cherished part of Swedish culture, allowing everyone to experience and enjoy the beauty of nature responsibly. During our hiking tour, we’ll embrace these principles to ensure a safe and respectful adventure in the Nacka Nature Reserve.

Tyresta National Park, established in 1993, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility with its diverse landscapes, including dense forests, pristine lakes, and rocky outcrops. Home to wildlife such as deer, foxes, and numerous bird species, the park adds excitement to every hike. Well-maintained trails cater to all levels, from leisurely walks to challenging treks. Located close to Stockholm, Tyresta National Park is easily accessible for a quick escape into nature, providing a peaceful retreat despite its proximity to the city.

Exploring Tyresta National Park allows you to connect with nature and experience the area’s rich natural and cultural heritage.
