So why not hire a campervan in Sweden!

Sweden stretches between the 55th and 69th parallel. This results in an unusual natural phenomenon. In parts of this country, the sun does not set in summer and does not rise in winter.

If you travel in May, for example, the weather in the south is similar to that in northern Germany. If you travel to the north, there may still be snow here in May. Sweden itself calls its climate zones "warm-temperate", "cold-temperate" and "polar climate". Here Sweden distinguishes between the coastal region of the country, the inland and the fjelds.

The country's geographical location has some special features. To the south, it borders the Kattegat and the North and Baltic Seas. Since 2000, it has been directly connected to Denmark via the Øresund Bridge. In the north of the country, the border connects with two other Scandinavian countries - Norway to the west and Finland to the east.

Most of the country is flat to hilly, whereas further up in the north the Scandinavian mountains begin, measuring up to 2000 metres in altitude.

Because of this special geographical location and the climate associated with it, you have many opportunities for leisure activities. You can swim in the Kattegat or have a snowball fight with your loved ones a few days later.

You can hire a campervan and be flexible and in the middle of the action.

Hire a campervan in Sweden - let your journey and adventure begin. In the Scandinavian countries, driving on country roads or motorways is pure relaxation. In Germany there are hardly any speed limits on the motorways, but in Scandinavia it's a different story. In Sweden, there is a speed limit of 110 km/h on the motorways, which makes travelling with a camper more relaxed. The roads themselves are often much wider. This means that there is always enough space between you and other road users.

So get into your camper and enjoy your holiday from the very first minute. With this relaxed driving, it's always worth taking a look at the area whizzing by - there's a lot to discover! The impressive landscape, endless forests and lakes can also be enjoyed while driving. You should also keep an eye out for moose and reindeer.

You will encounter them almost regularly in Sweden if you keep your eyes open. You will often catch a glimpse of these shy animals. If they are in the forest or lying in the sun with their offspring, you have a good chance. It is not uncommon to encounter them in forests, fields or lakes. So always have a camera or your mobile phone ready!

Example of an itinerary in Sweden

Hallands Kustväg

Hallands Län is located in the south of Sweden on the Swedish west coast by the Kattegat. With its route along the coast, the so-called Kustväg (coastal path) offers plenty of places to stop and enjoy. Here you drive off the motorways past long sandy beaches or rugged coastal cliffs.

The museum houses a bog body called "Bockstenmannen", which has been given a face, so to speak, using today's technology.

Kärradal lies roughly halfway between Falkenberg and Kungsbacka and offers a special beach experience. On this beach you can make a mooring in the sand. You can also climb into the rocks and use one of the many hollows as a sheltered beach fort.

Kungsbacka offers a lot of recreational opportunities. Here you can go shopping, take a city walk or play golf.

What is special about a holiday in Sweden with a camper van?

You will never forget a trip with a camper van in Sweden. The feeling of unbridled freedom is greatly enhanced by the breathtaking nature in this Scandinavian country.

It is very easy to hire a campervan in Sweden, because it is very uncomplicated to find a parking space for one or even several nights. You are, in fact, completely independent and can change your itinerary every day.

Many tourists hire a campervan, so the Scandinavian countries are very well equipped for camping tourists. Along all the routes you will find places where you can spend the night legally and free of charge. These designated sites are usually equipped with a fireplace, free wood and simple dry toilets. Fresh water is available free of charge at petrol stations. Disposing of the camping toilet is possible here and also at other places designated for this purpose. By the way, most of the locals speak German and English, so communication with the residents is also quite easy.

The Everyman's Right

In Sweden, there is a special regulation that describes the use of nature in more detail: the Everyman's Right. This right is not a fixed law, but it is practiced habitually. According to it, everyone is allowed to enjoy nature. This means that you can go fishing (with an angler's card), make a fire in designated places or simply go swimming.

In Sweden, it is not uncommon for many hectares of land to be privately owned. This means that some people own an entire forest or lake. In order to keep these forests and lakes accessible, some things are allowed. You are allowed to pick berries and mushrooms in these forests, go for walks or swim and fish in the lakes.

However, the highest commandment is: always leave the place as if you had never been there. Do not dispose of rubbish, service water or the camping toilet in nature and only take as much of berries and mushrooms as you need for yourself.

If you encounter a moose or reindeer, keep quiet and enjoy the sight.

The country's population is otherwise generally somewhat reserved, but extremely friendly and helpful.

Rent a campervan and then enjoy your holiday in Scandinavia's largest country and discover the country with your campervan. Especially for camping tourists with a campervan, Sweden has a big heart and offers relaxed travelling. Look out for moose and reindeer, visit the Arctic Circle or swim in the countless lakes. Renting a campervan helps you to explore and get to know the country intensively. We wish you and your loved ones a good journey!
