Long distances? No problem!

Visitors often remark, “Sweden is certainly a big country!” But long distances are not a problem thanks to our excellent communications. There are ferries, trains and airplanes to take you to your fishing paradise. And roads – why not take your own car? The road network is well developed with high standard roads throughout the country. Take your time, look around and who knows what you’ll see – perhaps even a moose!
