This three-day nature package is perfect for those looking to escape the noise of the city and immerse themselves in the peaceful wilderness of Sweden – without giving up on comfort. You’ll stay at the cosy and rustic Bäckefors Vandrarhem Hostel, surrounded by the rural charm of Dalsland. Here, you can unwind, cook your own meals, and enjoy easy access to both forest trails and a nearby swimming area.
Day 1 is your arrival day. Settle into your accommodation and take in the quiet surroundings. Whether you're travelling solo or with friends, you'll find a simple but welcoming place to relax, with self-catering facilities and outdoor activities just a short walk away.
On Day 2, explore the natural beauty of Kroppefjäll Nature Reserve on Ragnerud’s Lake Trip. Choose a trail that suits your level – from short, family-friendly loops to more challenging treks – and enjoy forests, lakes, and scenic viewpoints. To complete the experience, opt for a Swedish fika (coffee and pastry) or a lunch package to enjoy along the way.
Day 3 brings a new kind of adventure – a guided kayak tour on the Steneby River, arranged by Dalslands Aktiviteter. Paddle through calm and wild sections of the river, lift your kayak over small obstacles, and take in the beautiful scenery all around. After 2–3 hours, you’ll reach the rapids, where the team will meet you and transport the equipment back to the start.
After a final night at the hostel, it’s time to move on – hopefully refreshed, inspired, and ready for your next journey.
