This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Tyresta National Park, one of the largest untouched forest areas in Sweden outside the mountain region. "The area has one of the finest virgin forests south of the mountain region."

Highlights: We really enjoyed the "cozy nature trail". There were eleven spots with a numbered post where there was something extra to do or think about, such as a spider web to climb and a treasure chest ✨
