Skuleskogen National Park, National park in Västernorrland County, Sweden

Skuleskogen National Park spans 30 square kilometers of varied terrain, featuring granite peaks, deep valleys, dense forests, and a rocky Baltic Sea coastline.

The park contains Bronze Age funerary monuments that were positioned along the ancient coastline, marking burial sites from thousands of years ago.

The forest represents a significant part of the UNESCO World Heritage High Coast area, demonstrating the geological effects of post-glacial land uplift.

Three entrance points provide access to 30 kilometers of marked trails, with the South Entrance remaining open during winter months for year-round exploration.

Slåttdalsskrevan Canyon stands as a natural formation carved through erosion 1,200 million years ago in the Nordingrå Granite mountain range.

Hidden places in Sweden

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.
