We’re a family of 4 going to Sweden Sept 28–Oct 6. Our boys are 12 and 9 and are pretty seasoned hikers, so we’re looking for good hikes and scenery, not just easy walks.
We’ll spend the first 3 nights in Stockholm, then we’re trying to pick one area to base ourselves for the rest of the trip. We like beautiful landscapes, charming towns, interesting hikes, and having one cozy place to stay and doing day trips instead of moving around a ton.
We’re planning to rent a car for the second half, with the exception of Abisko, where we’d take the overnight sleeper train from Stockholm.
Right now we’re considering
High Coast/Skuleskogen,
Tiveden/Lake Vättern/Omberg,
Fjällbacka/Bohuslän,
Skåne/Kullaberg/Söderåsen,
Abisko,
Fulufjället
If you had 4–5 nights in early October, which would you pick? Any of these you’d definitely rule out that time of year?
