We were able to paddle through the reed and enter a lagoon that’s only accessible by kayak, a very special moment. We rented one at Getno Gard and paddled for a long time, all around the island that the resort is located on. The best way to explore nature and get views that you can’t get from the shore is by kayak of course. You just cannot go to the Swedish lakes without enjoying them from the water. Only this should be a reason for you to go to Sweden! On the third night, we actually went paddling during the nighttime and even though it wasn’t as clear as the nights before, it once again was a very special moment. The second night we moved to Getno Gard at Lake Åsnen and once again, we enjoyed a very fine sunset. We went to a lake called Stora Hensjön and enjoyed a marvelous sunset, one of the best ever, together with a bunch of mosquitos.

The owner told us that our best bet for a good sunrise picture would be about a 10 minute drive away from the campground and he was right. The first night we spent at Tingsryd Resort. When we went to Sweden, I knew that, if the weather would be good, we’d be able to admire the sunset not once but three times, since all nights we’d be sleeping nearby a lake. When I was in Finland a couple of years ago for the #outdoorsfinland bloggers campaign, I already got to experience the sunset over one of their many lakes and it was one of the greatest memories of the trip. Where we’re from, there are not many lakes and even less chance to watch the sunset on one of them like you can in Scandinavia. Enjoy the sunset over one of the many lakes We’ll give your our top 5 of cool outdoor things to do in Småland, Sweden!ġ. In fact, it is another playground, but then for adults, who love to be outdoors and enjoy all the natural wonders southern Sweden has to offer. However, there is indeed a real Småland, much bigger than Ikea’s children’s playground and much more quiet. Yes, it is and before we went to the real Småland, this was also what first came to mind when I heard the word. “Småland – isn’t that the kids playground at Ikea?” I can hear you wonder.
