Hike in Sörmland from sunrise to sunset
Start the day with a thermos of coffee at sunrise and rest by the light of a crackling fire. Around Sörmland, there is a sea of different trails to hike on. Whether you are alone, with a group of friends, or taking the whole family. There’s often a castle or manor around the corner, and the landscape is bustling with farm shops and various eco-cultivations where you can find what to grill for the evening.
