National Park, Enchanted Castle, & Nature Reserve
Go to one of the oldest National Parks in Sweden, Garphyttan. There, it used to be taken care of by farmers and conservationists thought that the farmers were hurting the nature. But once they let the area go back without any help, it began to be overgrown, losing its flowers that were supposed to be preserved. Now, they take care of it by haymaking yearly.
Once you're done with your hikes or outdoor adventures, it's time to drive to Gripsholm Castle. Visit this place that has over 400 years of history with the family. On the outskirts, there's a royal park with royal deer, and there are many other things to see around the castle as well as inside. Venture to the Bornsjön Nature Reserve and be amazed at the beauty of nature in this variety of terrain.
