Sweden's climate
While certain regions in Sweden area characterised by a cool, humid climate and a polar climate is encountered in the northern area, our hiking region in the south of Sweden enjoys a wonderfully mild climate, despite its geographical location. This is thanks to the cool, temperate, oceanic climate and the proximity to the Atlantic and the warm Gulf Stream. The areas in the southernmost province of Skåne are particularly mild – ideal conditions for pure, successful hiking holidays all year round. So you can enjoy the benefits of spring, summer and autumn on our walking holiday Österlenleden, 8 days and experience the peculiarities of the respective season.
Sweden's culture and tradition
Sweden is home to numerous traditions and to this day one of the most valuable countries for music exports worldwide. The internationally famous pop music group ABBA has already laid the foundation for this. A well-known festival day is the Midsummer Festival, an important celebration on the following night on the Saturday after June 21st, which can be compared to Christmas. On this holiday, people dance and sing around the decorated maypole, the national symbol of the country – in the spirit of hygge, the relaxed lifestyle of the Swedes. Lucia Festival, the day of the Queen of Lights on December 13th, is another celebration in Sweden. Disguised as the bride of Lucia in a white dress and with a wreath of twigs and candles on her head, the eldest daughter of the family brings breakfast to the bed of the family members, followed by ceremonial parades through the streets.
The Swedish cuisine
What is served here is always fresh, regional and made from the best ingredients. But the geographical location and climate also have an influence on the cuisine. Typical Swedish dishes consist of different types of meat such as elk or game, pickled fish and vegetables are served together with the rye bread Limpa. An uncomplicated preparation, as well as contrasting flavours are the basis for a Swedish meal. And there is so much more to try than the classic Köttbullar meatballs. How about Klämma? Here the Swedish speciality Surströmming, a sour herring, is served on boiled potatoes, red onions and Tunnbröd. Or the Swedish speciality Spettekaka from Skåne in southern Sweden? A sweet pastry made form eggs, sugar and potato starch.
