The way you film and post, I see no difference if it's a rainy day or a sunny day. I only see how beautiful our Sweden is. You guys are really good at filming at the right moment. You are doing Sweden a really great service through your film clips. Sorry for the mosquitoes =)

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@Wijkkie]

Good video !!! Beautiful, no stress Sweden. That is why I left the Netherlands and live in Sweden now ☺

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video ❤️ We love Sweden too although we stopped by the Netherlands again on our way up here so feel free to check out that one too to see what we got up to - it was fun too 😃

[@draug7966]

Nice to see foreigners enjoy the Swedish nature 👍. The usual tourists sites in Stockholm and what not is cool, but it’s out in nature that the real beauty is. I live in this area basically halfway between Huskvarna and Gränna, been to lake Tåkern many times. Omberg is really nice too. Btw as someone pointed out the ticks can be a bit of menace but for the dog you can buy an anti-tick collar at a drugstore. They're a bit expensive but quite effective.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you for your tips and really a lovely area ! 😊

[@RogerBengtsson75]

Gränna is sweden's meka regarding hand made candy canes. If you ever are in middle of sweden again I recommend visiting a place called Tällberg in Dalarna, it's a really beautiful area.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you for your recommendation ❤️

[@ExclusivelyReclusive1]

Sweden's landscape is basically forrest and lakes, it's insane how much forest we have.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

So beautiful ❤️

I'm Swedish ! I have been to several "warm" countries but love the Swedish seasons (wouldn't want to live in heat all the time), You have been unlucky with the weather but it happens at certain times in the summer, other years it's the other way around, you know in Sweden they say "It's not the weather's fault, just the clothes", doesn't help when you only have those days as a tourist! But Nature is Wonderful in ALL Weather.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Hey Peter, yeah we actually love it, Charlene likes the heat a bit more but I prefer like this where we have some warm days but also some cooler days. It's just sometimes hard to plan 😀

[@Hiznogood]

@@TravelTalesVlogsIt’s not unusual with temperatures around 30 with the occasional 35 degrees Celsius in the summer, but I prefer the 25-30 range. I rather have a little colder summer but greener, the hot with burned, yellow grass and leaves!

[@paulozavala3232]

I dont now if you plan to go to north of Norway! But if you liked the nature in Sweden you definitely should travel to the north of Sweden or Norway. Its pure nature and very very different to what you have experienced so far!

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you we're on it 😉

[@not_so_far_away_Adventure]

Hi A tip from a local, always apply the buggspray outside of your camper. Tåkern is a really nice place to see bird life. I hope you visited the Naturm too. It’s free of charge and the staff is really knowledgeable and friendly.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@johnnyhildenborg7237]

Lovely movie! Yes, I'm Swedish. Living in the southern part. Skåne. We don't have a mobile home, at the moment, but will buy one within a year or so. We have rented mobile homes and today we have a caravan. We are mostly travelling in France for more than ten years now, and last year, in Italy. We will, for sure, also travelling more in the Nordic area further on. (We are heading up to be retired). :) My point is: Lovely to hear your experience about touristing in Sweden! We would love to visit U.K. but hesitate because of your left side driving..... We will see if we dare, later on. Br, Johnny (&Ewa)

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thanks so much Johnny ❤️ that sounds amazing and sure you will soon have one of your own. The UK is pretty weird because its the opposite side as the rest of Europe but after a day you quickly get used to it. We have a whole playlist series from our trip in the UK all the way up to Scotland if you wanna check it out 😃

Fun fact about Visingsö. In the early 1800s the swedish marine started to get a shortage of oak wood to build ships. So in 1831 almost the whole island of Visingsö was planted with oak trees for the marine. 1975 the oaks were ready and offered to the Swedish Chief of Marine but he declined :-) But if you buy a bottle of the swedish whisky Mackmyra, you should try it it is good, it has beed aged in oak barrels made of oak from Visingsö.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Amazing thanks for this fun fact 🙂

[@mikaelkarlsson635]

Visingsö was once the centre of Sweden. Several kings resided in the castle at the southern most tip of the island. The ruin is still there to visit.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Really interesting Mikael, although we only saw it from afar !

[@volkerbauer1974]

Your latest video is like a full Feature film, over 40 minutes long, I love it . I also rhink that the quality of your shots have become much better, for example when Charlene is speaking about her experience in the forrest. And then there is of course Sweeden. The forrest are amazing. This is how I imagine Europe must have looked like before the people came and settled everyehere. What a wonderful place.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thanks so much Volker glad you enjoyed it I think we will try to do one like this every few weeks 🙂 we try to keep a good mix of run and gun reality with high quality shots

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

The construction to help boats through different levels is called "Sluss" in Swedish and "Lock" in English. Kalles used to be called Kalles Kaviar, but the name had to be changed when we entered the EU due to rules, it didn't contain enough Roe. It goes very well with Egg. More often than not, stream water is perfectly fine to drink, often lake water as well. And of course, a nice alternative to a shower is a swim. Rule of thumb: Swim in shallow and small lakes, drink from large and deep ones.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thanks for the tips ❤️

[@D-ragon-S]

I've been to all of your places from Jönköping to Tiveden. Not for camping but for the nature. I think you luckily managed to find ALL the best spots during your time on that side of lake Vättern! Sorry you didn't get to see the boats going down the waterstairs. It's a fantastic mindblowing event. Supercool! Soo happy for you that you managed to find Naturum at lake Tåkern. It's theeee best bird lake in Sweden..By far! I've managed to see over 130 spices of birds there (not in one day). The coolest one, Rördrom (in English, Reed Drum). Check out pictures of it extending the neck straight up. And it's very rare and hard to spot as well. Much love to you all 3! ❤❤❤

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you ❤️ it was really nice around Vattern ! That bird looks insane we definitely didn't see one of those 🙂

[@emileriksson76]

I love this episode so much. The nature is great, but your appreciation for it is even greater. That said, the mosquitoes are a pain, and the further north you go, the worse they are. So prepare yourselfs for that ; ) Ps. Glad your dog is feeling better! Have fun!

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you so much Emil ❤️

[@Motbilder]

Every time since I was a kid, I start to look for Jätten Vist (The Giant Vist) as soon as I get to that road along Vättern. A statue of it is placed by Huskvarna. The Giant thought the lake was too large to step over, so he threw a boulder into the middle, creating the island Visingsö. It was always the absolute best thing on a road trip from Stockholm to the west coast. That was before the internet of course.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

We must have totally missed that ! 😂

[@Motbilder]

​@@TravelTalesVlogsAt least you saw the boulder he threw, i.e the island.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

More imporantly, he dug out lots of soil and threw it into the Baltic sea, thus creating, Vänern, Gotland, Vättern, and Öland

[@kajsan760]

This is the correct way to discover Sweden! Nature, small roads, random renaissance castles. I live about an hour from Omberg, and have visited most of the places you showed. I think you did them justice. It is a bit funny that you found the forest scary. To me that kind of forest feels like home and safety. And you should have swam in the lake. It's cold at first, but very refreshing after.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you we really loved this area. Hope you enjoy the vids 🙂

[@hansericsson7058]

Tåkern is a bird reserv aspecially in the spring there is cranes there.

You've bought the "strong caviar" Here's a recepie you should try: Polarkaka or Hönökaka. Some butter to spread on top, sliced egg boiled in about 8 min so that it gets creamy. Then Kalles Randiga (the best one, a bit milder)

If it is glazed it is normally powdered sugar with a few drops of water making up the glaze. ;) Happy to see you enjoying Swedish food items and much more. Göta Kanal actually run through Sweden from Stockholm on the east coast to Gothenburg on the west coast through all three largest lakes of Sweden. Max width of a boat passing is about 11 meters (which is information I got a few years back) but it cost a bundle to go through it all the way.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

I can image about the Gota Kanal, really interesting... we never knew about it until we were looking up the area around Vattern and then looked at the canals on the map going from lake to lake to coast. Amazing ! And yeah we're loving the Swedish food and nature ☺️

[@PeterRobertsson]

Cool, I am from the City of Jönköping, or just to the West of it towards Bankeryd in a place called Trånghalla. I have a house on the banks overlooking the lake, with a bridge, sauna etc down below at the water levels. I think you have caught some amazing pictures around the lake. In July 2021 I decided without any pre-planning that I should go around the lake and this 50% on foot. The lake is 300km around it so said and done the next day, 13 July 2021 I put on 18kg and started to walk. I booked along the road at some hostels in Hjo, Karlsborg, Tiveden, as well as some hotel and airbnb. I was back in my place on the South West edge of Lake Vättern on 24 July, 9 days later (had stayed 2 night in Hjo though) and by the I had done 171km by foot. The lake is big and beautiful! I am happy that you are enjoying Sweden. Please come back! Cheers!

Love following your traveladventures. Talking of trees… the oldest known tree in Sweden is a pine called Old Tjikko situated far north bu the mountain tree line. It is 9565 years old.

[@TravelTalesVlogs]

Thank you so much. We better keep an eye out for it then 🙂

[@Mortac]

It's the oldest tree in the world even. But it's located in a very remote area, and the tree itself is extremely unimpressive and so not worth the effort to get there.

[@NikesZ28]

Yes Sweden is very tourist friendly even though we might not be a huge tourist destination. When you were at Gränna you should have stoped at one of the candycain factories, its the origin of the candycain 🙂 See you turned south again, but if you ever end up a bit further north near a town called Eskilstuna you might want to take a break, the biggest motorhome/caravan dealership in the country is located next to that town. Besides a large store with a lot of gear you might want or need and of course you can buy LPG too. They also have free parking with acces to water and place to empty gray water and such. And for the fun of it you can of course peek at all the new motorhomes and dream a little 😊

The stuff you put on that baguette with prawns is that expensive, because that is the one they normally makes in that store and its way better quality. There are more cheeper similar stuff with prawns and they cost 3:d of what you paid.

There Is absolutely nothing to be scared about sleeping out in the forests of Sweden. I have been sleeping in a sleepingbag in so many different places, with no tent, nothing. But sometimes it have been quite awkward when I havent gone so very far away front some hikingtrail to wake up to some tourists walking almost over me to be able to continue 🥹.. . But there Is nothing to be scared about, because the people out in the forests are just like you guys, normal non criminal people. Criminals afe in the cities, and they dont go out for a hikeä. Thats also why you can see that places dont get vandalised and people have this mindset in the Northern countries "You must always leave the place in as good condition as you found it"
