Tiveden always offers us wonderful experiences regardless of the weather. Therefore, you can be sure that a booked guided tour will take place. It is only when there is too much wind or flooding, that we may have to move the tour to another time or place for safety reasons.
Our guided tours:
Guided tour - Breakfast in the forest
Early bird in Tiveden National Park! We fix the breakfast. Being up early in these surroundings is something very special. The sounds, smells and light are so much more tangible. Maybe a capercaillie flies up from its night spot.
We follow the trails and you will experience small wonders along our walk, stories about life in and around the forests. Eventually, we set up breakfast in a beautiful spot and let the sun warm us.
When we separate at the main entrance car park a few hours later, you will have the whole day ahead of you in the national park and have received several personal tips for your own discoveries from your guide.
Guided tour - Evening coffee with lake view
Tiveden National Park and Tiveden’ s guides invite you on a magical evening tour. We follow trails that you may have walked before. But in our company you will experience Tiveden in a new way.
We show you hidden gems, tell you the tales and myths that bring your imagination to life. When we arrive at our viewpoint, we’ll prepare the coffee and evening sandwiches and enjoy the silence.

Hike with open minds and enjoy the healing powers of nature.
Over the past 25 years, research has confirmed what people have probably always known – that nature helps reduce stress and makes us feel good. We do different exercises to open our minds and find peace.

The stretch is about 1500 m. in total and is adapted for accessibility with a footbridge and a hard-packed path where it is possible to use a pram, walker and wheelchair with a little pushing on a small hill. You experience the tall trees of Tiveden, the smells, the light and the sounds.
The local guide offers you stories and facts about Tiveden along the hike. At Junker Jägare’s stone there is a seating area for those who want to rest their legs for a while.
Companies and staff groups
Our individual nature guides can offer guided tours and experiences for your company or personnel group. Make a booking request and we will put you in touch with an available guide based on your wishes.
Our most inspiring stone in Tiveden is certainly the Junker Jägare’s stone. A boulder, transported by the Ice, that rises 15m up. Let us tell you the sad tale of the young woman, who fell in love with a simple hunter and what happened right here at this stone.
Our nature guides offer even more guided tours under the auspices of their own companies. You will find more information about them in the presentations on our page.
