Sweden, Tiveden National Park

In the heart of Sweden, halfway between Gothenburg and Stockholm, lies Tiveden National Park. Just a stone’s throw away from the hustle, noise, and stress, silence and tranquility spread across one of the southernmost old-growth forest areas in Sweden.

Here, adventure awaits those who seek enchanting natural beauty, marked by massive moss-covered boulders, majestic old trees, and steep ridges with rocky plateaus.
You are welcomed by Jessica and Klas, two adventurers and nature lovers who, after many years as guides in Africa, have found their place on Earth in this unique national park.

What’s also unique is the horses. There are a few Icelandic horses and several larger breeds. But the special thing is that they all tölt – a smooth gait. These are comfortable horses, seemingly made to carry people through forest trails over roots and rocks.
You stay close to nature – and enjoy delicious meals cooked with care and a focus on sustainability. Between the rides, there’s time for sauna baths, silence, laughter by the fire, and true relaxation.

What truly sets this place apart from many other nature destinations is the strong commitment to sustainability. Owners Jessica and Klas live what they teach, with clear-cut-free forestry, biodiversity, and a deep sense of responsibility for the surrounding landscape. You notice it in everything – from the food and building materials to how the business is run.

But perhaps the very best part is the feeling – the warm, welcoming atmosphere. This is not a tourist machine, but a place where guests often become part of the community. Many return, not only for the nature, but for the peace, inspiration, and genuine human presence.
