March 25, 2011

Gothenburg and West Sweden boasts a rocky coastline with thousands of islands, as well as lakes and forests. Here you can partake in all types of adventure including sea kayaking, walking and mountain biking with a GPS. One day you can be by the coast in a kayak and the next day, deep in the forest, surrounded by moose and beavers as you stay in a tipi by the lake.
