‘The pleasure of being in nature and the pleasure to feel deserving it'.
Day 1: We depart from our office which is located to the south of Stockholm at 9 am. We will arrive at the starting place, in the Trosa area, at about 10.30.The adventure starts right away as we’ll enter the forest boundary to begin the expedition. We will have a break for lunch and of course, a coffee cooked on a wooden fire. In the evening we will set the camp and fire then cook our dinner and spend the evening around the fire telling stories.
Day 2: After waking up, we will get ready for breakfast. Then time to pack the camp and put the shoes on to start hiking.On the second day, we will get deeper into the wilderness. Here no paths to follow, just trees, rocks and the silence of the forest. After the lunch break, we will continue hiking to a very little lake where we will get the chance to swim if the water level allows us to do so. Setting camp in the evening and wood fire for the atmosphere and of course to prepare our second dinner.
Day 3: After this second night in the wild, we start to feel being part of it, part of this immense nature where we belong.In the afternoon, we will get out of the forest to cross some fields. That’s the opportunity to see far away, we didn’t see far for now 2 days and this is quite a nice feeling to get. At the end of the afternoon, we will arrive at a bigger lake, here you can take a dip in the fresh water.
Day 4: The feeling of this fourth day morning is always a bit in between, our feet will most probably start to sore and walking across everything for the past three days would be more challenging than expected. But then, the team spirit makes us cheer up while the coffee is ready on the campfire. Yes, that’s how expeditions are, it’s fantastic but tiring at the same time.Today we’ll have the chance to follow paths mixed with crossing throughout of course. Tonight is going to feel like a big relief when we will arrive at the camp place because the lake there is simply stunning. Pure water and definitely deep enough to swim in any way we can after a hard hike. Later, a well-deserved dinner and a fire will be prepared before sleeping.
Day 5: Hard to leave the place when the landscape is so beautiful but not to worry, more is coming up.We pack up and on the road again, today back to what we can do best, going through everything. It takes some days and some experience to be able to go through the forest following no paths on uneven terrain. It is not an easy thing to do. Hard to find a rhythm and surrounded by only wilderness but after a few days it will be much easier, feeling like something you know and can already do.Today we will cross a summer village as well, the opportunity to see typical Swedish houses and the opportunity for your guide to talk about history. Ask questions, your guide will be happy to answer.
Day 6: Last full day for us. We arrive in a stunning forest. It feels like this forest has been forgotten by humans, it is glittering and full of animals (though still hard to spot, especially in groups).Today we’ll reach the biggest lake of our tour and continue to follow it the following day. Plenty of time to swim, set up a fire and enjoy this peacefulness and connect with nature.Why not set our camp right next to the lake and admire the sunset while remembering the moments we’ve had during the expedition?
Day 7: Last day. It feels like the end already. We are now well-trained and we don’t need as much time as in the beginning to pack up our tent and get ready to beat the road.Breakfast and across the nature for the last time. After lunch, we will follow a path that will bring us directly to a village where our transport will be waiting for us. After an hour's drive, we will get the strange but cosy feeling of being back in civilization.
