Sweden Road Trip: From Gothenburg to Skellefteå

#europetrip Taking a road trip through Sweden, from Gothenburg all the way up to Skellefteå, is like being transported through a series of postcard-perfect landscapes. The journey is a beautiful mix of lush forests, tranquil lakes, and charming towns dotted with traditional red wooden houses. These iconic homes, painted in deep red, are everywhere, creating the picturesque backdrop that feels so uniquely Swedish. It’s hard not to stop every now and then just to take in the views, whether you’re cruising past a small village or winding along a serene lake. As you drive north, the charm of Sweden’s countryside really shines. A highlight of the trip was cooking meals on a triangakök (a small Swedish camping stove) by the side of the road. There’s something about making food outdoors in the middle of nature that makes everything taste better. Whether it was grilled sausages or a hearty soup, cooking over an open flame added a touch of adventure to the experience. From Gothenburg’s coastal vibes to Skellefteå’s northern charm, the road trip is an immersive journey through Sweden’s diverse landscapes and culture. The journey is all about slowing down, taking in the surroundings, and enjoying simple moments – like enjoying a warm meal in the wild or marveling at the endless forests stretching out before you. If you love adventure, great food, and unforgettable scenery, this road trip should be at the top of your list.
