Sweden’s Viking heritage goes beyond raiding to connecting with nature. Jana, your Local Xpert, is a conservationist and certified Wilderness Survival Guide, who takes you hiking to explore these nature-based rituals.
Step into Stockholm’s woodlands, practise forest bathing, pick berries or mushrooms, follow animal tracks, and listen for birdsong. Try your hand at bushcraft, and grill hot dogs over a fire you build with Jana’s guidance. Then kick off your shoes and feel the soft moss beneath your feet as you ground yourself in the woods. If you’d like to experience contrast therapy, end the day with a sauna immediately followed by a refreshing cold dip in the lake at Hellasgården.
Xperience Highlights
From hiking to Viking wellness: Forest bathing, guided meditation, & grounding
Jana leads you through Stockholm’s verdant forests, where you can tune into birdsong and the rustle of leaves overhead. Breathe in pine and damp earth, feel the soft moss beneath your feet, and try skogsbad (forest bathing), followed by a short guided meditation as you settle into the woods.
Forage for berries or mushrooms in Stockholm’s forests
In summer, go bärplockning (berry-picking) for blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, lingonberries, and wild strawberries. Pop a berry or three in your mouth as Jana shares stories on Sweden’s favourite berry dishes. In autumn, Jana takes you along hidden trails to the best spots for svampplockning, or mushroom picking. Learn to differentiate between edible and poisonous ones, and why porcini is nicknamed the Karl Johan mushroom.
Test your wilderness survival skills through bushcraft and wildlife tracking
We’ll bring the map and compass; you bring an open mind. Jana teaches basic survival skills, from building a fire to reading animal tracks, and you’ll practise orienteering along the way. Keep an eye out for moose, hares, roe deer, great spotted woodpeckers and, if you’re lucky, wild boar and foxes, always from a safe distance. Then cook over an open fire and share a woodland barbecue, Nordic style, while discovering how the region’s flora and fauna are conserved.
Add contrast therapy at Hellasgården
For an extra dose of Viking wellness, step into a sauna followed by a dip in the lake, a practice known for its therapeutic benefits. Or in winter, bring your ice skates and glide across the lake as it freezes over. The sauna and cold dip are available as an optional add-on upon request. Contact us to include them in your visit.

Hellasgården (optional)
Choose to add contrast therapy, and we’ll finish with a visit to the sauna and a plunge in the icy lake.

Ist diese Xperience die passende für dich?
Do you seek out quiet hiking trails just outside major cities? Are you curious about tracking wildlife, foraging for wild mushrooms, and testing your wilderness survival skills? Or do you simply want to reconnect with nature through Nordic outdoor traditions? Then this Xperience is built for you.
You don’t need to be an expert hiker, but you should be comfortable walking for 2–3 hours at a time on uneven forest trails. Let us know your hiking experience when booking so we can tailor the route to your level.
Jana is here to dich zu begleiten
Whether you’re a beginner hiker or an experienced hiker, Jana will show you where the wild moose roam, how to spot mushrooms you can actually eat, and the connection between nature and Nordic heritage. Tell her what you’re curious about when you book, and she’ll shape the tour around what excites you most about Stockholm’s forests.
Jana sorgt dafür, dass man sich beim Pilzesammeln in den Wäldern von Stockholm verirrt (und wiederfindet).

Gut zu Wissen
Was du mitbringen solltest
Wear weather-appropriate layers, clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, and comfortable hiking boots. No hiking boots? Ask at checkout and we’ll provide a pair for a small fee. Because this experience runs year-round, it’s worth bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a refillable water bottle, insect repellent, a windbreaker, gloves, and an umbrella, because you never know what the Nordic climate will serve up. If you’re adding the sauna, bring swimwear and a microfiber towel.
Zu erwartende Aktivitäten
This is an active experience with lots of walking on uneven trails. We design each route around your experience level. Beginner hikers may have little or no hiking experience, prefer mostly flat terrain, a relaxed pace and regular breaks. Advanced hikers typically have more recent hiking experience, prefer longer or more challenging routes and maintain a regular fitness routine. Let us know your hiking experience level at checkout.
