    This was a wonderful National Park to visit. We drove from Karlstad to hike some of the trails. We did around 4 different trails in 5 hours. The paths we took we filled with all kinds of nature, stones, and moss. The hike were average difficulty and there are places where you can have a fire to cook up some food. But there's no camping allowed in the park until specified hours. If you make a fire, have respect and don't take branches from the forest. Use the chopped wood that they have near the fire pits.

    Sehr schöner, wenn nicht sogar der schönste Nationalpark, den ich bisher gesehen habe. Die gelbe Route über 2,1 km ist der Wahnsinn. Über Felsen, Felsblöcke, hoch und runter, mit tollen Ausblicken auf kleine und große Seen…. Angegebene Laufzeit 2,5h. Dachten wir auch etwas lang angegeben, aber man bleibt ständig stehen und ist beeindruckt. Am Parkplatz gibt es sogar Grillplätze und das Holz wird zur Verfügung gestellt.

    Tivedens National Park offers a wilderness experience in a hilly and wild forest landscape with dramatic rift valleys, beautiful forest lakes, the giant boulders in Stenkälla, the view from Trollkyrkobergen and the beach in Vitsand. The park is unique in southern Sweden for its large contiguous areas of old, undisturbed forest that are allowed to develop naturally, which gives the area its distinctive character. Covering 2,030 hectares, Tiveden National Park offers many marked trails and gives visitors a chance to explore and appreciate the age, thickness and wild landscape of the forest, which is a rare experience in the region.

    Schweden besteht aus Wald und Seen und das beweist dieser Park in beeindruckender Weise. Wir haben einige kleine Wandertouren gemacht und es war toll. Die Wege sind gut ausgeschrieben, es ist so ruhig und die Luft sehr frisch.

    The visitors' centre was 'open', which means that some racks with folders and maps were wheeled out of the office and made availanle for the visitors. The office itself was closed and no-one in sight. Toilets are primitive, stinking, and no hygiene at all. No drinkable water available. On the other hand, the trails (we took the red one, Troll Churches) are ectremely well signposted and maintained. The Park is astonishingly beautiful, a varied and impressive landscape. We underestimated the difficulty of the trail we chose (4.5 km/3.5 hrs). We actually spent almost 5 hours on the trail. The path goes up and down, and is full of rocks and roots. Quite an exhausting adventure. Better start this trail counter-clockwise, with the Small Troll Church first, where the path is the hardest. Good luck!

    Unbelievably beautiful park with pure nature experience! The hiking trails are well-marked and vary in difficulty - they may be challenging for some people. Get here if you want to unwind and relax in a magical scenery! You can also have a BBQ (there is free wood available for everyone), go swimming, or kayaking. Definitely recommended if you are around!

    Darn, what a magnificent place this is. Absolutely stunning! We picked the red trail, which took us about four hours, but we took a few extra breaks because it was very hot for both us and our dog. So, here are a few things you need to know before you go visit this beautiful place. - Parking at the main entrance can be rather challenging between 11.00 - 14.00. - Wear good shoes! As in hiking shoes. The trails are uneven and pretty steep here and there, so an ankle is easily twisted. - Bring enough water. There’s a water point at the main entrance but the water isn’t checked so drinking is at your own risk. We didn’t come across any other water points during the entire walk, so be prepared for that, especially when it’s warm. - This one’s for dog owners: the red trail contains a few stairs with metal steps. Our dog couldn’t walk on it (okay I gotta admit, he’s kind of a drama king), so I had to carry him up the first stair. The stairs up and down that followed were (lucky for me) sort of accessible at the sides, although it included a slide down a rock haha! That’s all folks! Just go check this place out by yourself and enjoy Swedish nature in its full splendor. We sure did. 🤍

    Amazing national park! We hiked 5 tracks in two weeks. The trails are well preserved and signed! Fireplaces.

    Very beautiful place! Nice trails and wonderful nature. You can have a picnic every 3km or so. The lake looks fantastic and when it gets dark, it gets magical. Will definitely come again!

    Wunderschöner Nationalpark mit vielen tollen Wanderwegen. Natur pur! Die Tour kann vor dem Start anhand einer genauen Beschreibung gewählt werden. Länge und Schwierigkeiten sind großzügig kalkuliert, da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Absolute Empfehlung!

  • 5/5 Karolina F. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful Swedish forest, with magic for adults and children. You need to be able to walk in uneven/challenging paths to fully enjoy it.

    Beautiful national park! Such unique environment with height differences, stoney landscape and lovely lakes!! Really a must visit in Sweden, just be aware that you won't be alone 😅.

    Einer mit der schönsten Parks. Parkplätze für WoMo und Autos sind vorhanden. Leider darf man dort nicht übernachten. Ansonsten Top. Feuerstellen, Toiletten usw sind vorhanden. Es gibt auch eine Wasserquelle bzw. Pumpe wo man Trinkwasser pumpen kann.

    Ein phantastischer Nationalpark mit einer enormen Landschaftsvielfalt. Es gibt viele verschiedene Touren in unterschiedlichen Längen und Schwierigkeitsstufen. Generell gilt, daß festes gutes Wanderschuhwerk bei dem Erkunden des Nationalpark Tiveden ratsam ist. Für die meisten Trails ist Trittsicherheit wichtig. Die Wege verlaufen meist sehr naturnah über felsiges und bewurzeltes Gelände. Es sind oft Stege, die mit Draht bespannt sind, und auch mitunter Treppen zu überwinden. Wer mit Hunden unterwegs ist, muss vorher gut einschätzen können, welche Art von Weg der Hund gut gehen kann. Als Gehzeit sollten man deutlich mehr Zeit einplanen als üblich. Mückenschutz ist in den wärmeren Jahreszeiten sehr ratsam. Wir haben uns direkt auf den ersten Metern unserer Wanderung in diesen Nationalpark verliebt. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder!

    Beautiful place. There was random "tarzania" with no people/stuff so you could just freely climb (stay safe!)

  • 4/5 Thomas D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good visitor center even it was closed. Did a medium hike (red) and saw a lot of different trees and rocks. Sometimes it was a steep stair or ladder to climb but not impossible. It’s not a adventure but nice to see some nature.

    Absolut sehenswert. Der Nationalpark ist sehr abwechslungsreich und für jeden ist die passende Route dabei. Die Wanderwege sind sehr gepflegt, es gibt überall verteilt Feuerstellen und teils auch Hütten.

  • 4/5 Sebastian N. 10 months ago on Google
    We did the purple tour which goes around the lake and it was fascinating! It took us 3-3,5 hours with short brakes. It is very easy to walk for children, adults and seniors! What I don't like about the place is that you don't see a lot of animals. Probably it's because of the many roads which lead to the national park. We only saw 2 deers on the road when we left the highway and entered the national park zone by car. I'd recommend driving 40 km/h maximum.

    Nice hiking, mostly moderate difficulty (some steep climbs). Americans may find similarities to northern Wisconsin or the Adirondacks. Well maintained trails and junction/camping areas.

  • 5/5 Rubber D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice landscape. It's recommended to wear good hiking boots or better mountain boots. It's particular dangerous because of rubble a lot of roots and a slippery ground. If you start early in the morning than it's easy to get a parking place and it's not so overcrowded.

  • 5/5 Andy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very well laid out walks. Easy to follow. We did the purple walk (9km) around the lake and didn't get lost at all. Also did MTB and that was a great course too. Lake and scenery were stunning. Will be back! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Magnus M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful pristine forest, easy to find the trails. Highly recommended but arrive early on weekends to avoid crowds.

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful trails, well marked, compost toilets were avaliable, as well as a water fountain. There is an information center where you ask any questions about the trails.

  • 4/5 Svetlana S. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking was full so come here early. Hiking routes are quite challenging for children under age of 6. My daughter is 5 years old and she made it all the way but it was more of a challenge than fun for her.

  • 5/5 Stef R. 2 years ago on Google
    We did the 9,6km trail around the lake. Absolutely beautiful walk on sometimes challenging terrain. I highly recommend!

  • 4/5 NOWISIMON 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park. When you map out you own trail you can really challenge yourself here. The more scenic points were too crowded for my taste, but it was mid August, so high season still.

  • 5/5 Josephine R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful national park. We chose the purple track which leads around the lake. There are many cozy places where you can take a break, sit down, eat and enjoy the amazing view at the lake. I totally recommend the tent place. It is a beautiful place located at the lake, there is a fire place and a toilet. It was allowed to set up tents in a roped area between 6pm-10am. The track sometimes went a little uphill but in general it was not too rough to walk it. Also the track is well marked with coloured bands around trees.
