Join us for an overnight wilderness camping and hiking trip to Tresticklan National Park, near the boarder to Norway. Tresticklan is one of southern Sweden's largest remaining roadless, untouched old-growth forest areas
We are strictly limiting this event to 8 participants due to local on-demand transit booking capacity.

### 🏞️ About Tresticklan National Park & The Route

https://www.sverigesnationalparker.se/en/parks/tresticklan-national-park
Tresticklan offers a stunning, rugged landscape characterized by long rift valleys, pristine wilderness lakes, and ancient pine forests.

  • Day 1 (~10.6 km): We will hike into the park following this trail (https://mapy.com/s/dovekofaza). Along the way, we plan to stop by Tomte-Elias hule (a historic cave with rich local folklore). We will set up camp near the Budalsvika cabin (located right near the Norwegian border), taking care to keep a respectful distance from the hut in case it is booked or occupied by other travelers. If conditions and regulations allow, we aim to make a campfire.
  • Day 2 (~9 km): We will loop through the remaining trails (https://mapy.com/s/dunedujuha) back toward our pickup location at the park border.

### ⚠️ Important Notes & What to Bring

  • Passport / ID Required: Since our campsite at Budalsvika is right on the Norwegian border, please bring a valid passport or national photo ID in case border controls or cross-border checks are active.
  • Swimwear: We plan to stop for a refreshing dip in one of Tresticklan’s beautiful lakes.
  • Camping Gear: Tent/tarp, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, food, water, and suitable clothing for outdoor conditions. We will fill up water from the river at Budalsvika.
