— Walk in the wild —
To leave the trails and roads in Tiveden, and be soothed by the sound of the forest, can be a magical experience. To find your own way through the landscape, invites you to slow down. With careful steps we'll seek the peace that only forest provides when it's allowed to live for it's own sake. We call it to go off track. Together with our guide, you don't have to worry wether you're lost or not ...
And walk into the woods of Tived, maybe even forget who you are? "
The start of a Swedish poem by Carl Ek
Program:
We meet up at the Main Entrance of Tiveden National park. From there we'll take a walk in the woods. We talk about the history and the biodiversity of the forest, about forest fires and the ancient natural forces that shaped the landscape. You'll also get to learn how to navigate safely without map or compass in this wild terrain. We stop by a beautiful woodland lake for some Swedish fika and take some time just to simply absorb the moment in these marvellous surroundings.

Alcohol- and drugpolicy
All tours with Traceless in Tiveden are free from alcohol and other drugs. Partly for the physical safety of the group, we're on the water, or in difficult terrain or handling sharp tools and fire. But also in consideration and care for our guests. We want our tours to be safe spaces in nature. Our guide has the right to send away drunk or high guests at any time during the tour. There will be no refunds in these cases.
What if it's raining?
Well, bring your rain-clothes and put your boots on. We don't cancel this tour because of the weather. We'll adjust our habits though, like choose our way through the landscape a bit more carefully in order for no one to slip and get hurt. To be out in the forest during summer rain, can be both deliberating and challenging, depending on how you think about it. You might get wet yes, but you'll surely dry up afterwards. It's also very beautiful, with every little leaf glistening of water-drops, the very scent of the forest floor changes, and if the sun breaks through the whole forest seems to be covered in stars.
How do I get in touch?
