En route
It would be nice if guests of
Träporten would spend there their whole holiday there. But
frankly, it would be a bit of a pity. Sweden is a large country and
there are so much beautifull and interesting to see that it is
advisable that you visit a couple of different places during your
vacation.
Rondje Zweden (Tour of Sweden'
Träporten is a member of "Rondje Zweden" (Tour of
Sweden), an organization in which Dutch campground owners in
Sweden and Denmark are united. Their campsites are on the most
beautiful places in Sweden and offer beautiful pitches, nice
cottages, a friendly, English speaking, staff and clean sanitary
facilities. On the website www.rondjezweden.se
you can learn more about it.
Tidernas Väg
Träporten
is the start (or the finish) of a route that exists since the
beginning of civilisation. At the time of the Vikings it was an
important trade route on which goods such as iron and skins were
transported to the south. The hectic and busy road of those
days, is now a 350 km long stretch of tranquillity. It runs
through forests, along crystal clear lakes and via lovely towns. At
the other end of Tidernas Väg lies the university town
Uppsala. The city of Linnaeus, the famous biologist who designed the
classification system for nature that we still use to day. A visit to
the botanical garden is an attraction not to be missed.
Even
if you do not visit Uppsala, on a trip to Sweden you it is almost
inevitable that you stumble across Linnaeus. At least you will find
him on the most used banknote (100 Kr), it features a picture of Carl
van Linné, the name he got after his ennoblement.
Tidernas
Väg has its own website.
Höga Kusten (The High Coasts)
About
100 km from Träporten starts an area know as the High Coast. Due
to its special geology and outstanding natural beauty, Unesco
included it in the list of World Heritages. At the place where
the hilly landscape and the Gulf if Bothnia meet the forces of nature
have been working for already many thousands of years. The result is
an impressive landscape. At www.highcoast.net
you will find some photos of this area.
Norwegian
Fjords
If you want to make a tour of Sweden and Norway
then Träporten is a excellent hub. You might come
Nord over Tidernas Väg and, after your stay in
Borgsjö, go via Östersund and the ski area Åre to
Trondheim and go south along the Fjords.
