SWEDEN
Sweden
is a country rich in history and culture. Its mythology is fascinating,
its cities are picturesque and its many forests and parks are fantastic
and unspoiled. It is a pure, natural place you can go to
Stockholm, Swedens capital, and catch salmon in the middle
of the city!
Swedens greatest treasure for nature-lovers
is its vast expanse of beautiful land. More than half of Sweden
is covered by forests, and Swedens long shoreline is dotted
with breathtaking archipelagos. Fishing and hunting are both very
popular sports, and both are part of Swedish traditions. Swedish
land operates under a rather unique rule The Right
Of Public Access which allows anyone to use public
land.
Since Sweden was isolated from other European countries,
its culture (and the culture of the countries around it) is much
different from other European countries. Swedish art is influenced
by folk art and handcrafts. Products such as furniture and woodcrafting
show the same sort of clean design. Other arts such as theater and
ballet are very popular in Sweden.
