Tiveden national park, National park in Västergötland, Sweden
The protected forest area encompasses 2,030 hectares of terrain with massive boulders, deep valleys, clear lakes, and dense woodland sections.
During the early Middle Ages, the dense forest of Tiveden functioned as a refuge for outlaws seeking protection from authorities.
The forest holds significant connections to Swedish mythology, with ancient tales and legends embedded in its natural features and landscapes.
The park maintains marked hiking trails, dedicated parking areas, information centers, and designated spots for activities like fishing and bird watching.
The Junker Jägare stone, a 15-meter-tall boulder, stands as a prominent geological formation within the national park boundaries.

Sweden stretches from southern sand beaches to forests and tundra in the north. The country preserves records from several millennia: prehistoric rock carvings, Viking burial sites, medieval fortresses, and 18th century ironworks. The coastline includes limestone cliffs, archipelago islands, and wooden piers at small fishing villages. This collection takes you to historical places like Gammelstad Church Town, where hundreds of red wooden huts surround a medieval pilgrimage center, or the Stone Ship Monument at Kåseberga, where raised stones form the outline of a Viking ship. It also includes national parks such as Skuleskogen with its spruce forests and steep coasts, ironworks like Engelsberg where charcoal blast furnaces still stand, and museums like the Hallwyl collection in Stockholm. Visitors find island fortresses, peatlands, long-distance trails through arctic regions, and villages that show Swedish life from earlier centuries.
