The Uppland Trail is one of Sweden’s classic long-distance hiking adventures, stretching a massive 400km across the beautiful countryside surrounding Stockholm and Uppsala. The route is mainly through forests, specifically enchanting pine forests, so it's perfect for woodland lovers and those wanting to see the typical woodland wildlife that frequent this part of Sweden: deer, elk, moose, and even the black woodpecker, which you could spot from the numerous bird watching towers. You’ll also be led through tiny remote villages around lakes, and across windy stretches of agricultural land with the classic white windmills decorating the landscape. The trail is split into many sections, which make for manageable day hikes or 2-day trips—there’s even plenty of quaint forest cabins to stopover along the way.
