Sweden with only 18 people/sq km2 offers a varied scenery.
The country has a length north to south of 2.000 km and the coastline is stretching 7.300 km (longest in Europe). The northwest is dominated by mountains. Over 57% of the country is covered with forest.
In east the Stockholm archipelago with over 25.000 green islands is world famous. The archipelago in the west is spectacular with its naked rocks and barren islands.
Over 100.000 lakes add to the beauty of the landscape and gives a varied environment for the wildlife.
Stockholm is on the same latitude as Alaska but the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic gives Sweden a mild climate.
