Geography Sweden

Sweden is a big country with diverse landscape, with one of its finest assets being an air of spaciousness. On the far side of the country’s Skanderna mountain range is Norway, nature’s frontier to the west. Fused by glacial activity are Sweden’s landscape and its 7,000-kilometre long coastline split by lengthy, slim sea inlets called fjords. The glacier-topped, 2,111-metre north point of Mt Kebnekaise is the country’s tallest peak. With forests in abundance and its 100,000 lakes, Sweden enables some of Europe’s top hikes into the wild.

The country’s most concentrated populace is in its south, especially the southwest and its hilly, scenic vacation spots and sparkling beachfront. This area also has several ports rich in history, including Helsingborg, Malmö and Gothenburg. The coastal southeast’s Baltic islands of Gotland and Öland are among the country’s most visited resorts. North Sweden has a minimal amount of residents, who enjoy massive spans of rivers and timberland.

Fauna is in abundance in Sweden’s wilderness, but the quantity of lynx and brown bear has decreased due to hunting and expanding agriculture. An enduring confrontation exists between farmers and the wolves that live on their livestock. Sweden’s bird population is teeming, with its kingfishers setting up house in the lakes of the north.
