Did you know that Sweden established its first nine national parks as early as 1909, which were also the first in Europe? 🌳

Today, Sweden has 30 national parks from north to south. They reflect the different types of nature and landcapes in our vast country. Many of the national parks have visitor centres and easy walking trails. 🗺️
