Sweden holds a fascination for children because of its giant forests and thousands of lakes and stories of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun.

Kayaking

The Swedish Freedom to Roam also means Freedom to paddle. There’s over 200 000 lakes in Sweden and a long coastline to explore by kayak or canoe. If you are out for the first time it might be better and more safe to paddle in sheltered lakes.
