Nice that you drow through the county of Jämtland and stayed in Åre and Östersund. The statue you said was a dinosaur, is actually a baby sea monster. The tale says that people have seen a sea monster in ”Storsjön”, the lake you walked by in Östersund! 😊 We have a family farm by a lake between Östersund and Sundsvall. It is a pretty area of Sweden. This is an inland mountain area, but not maybe as dramatic as you expected with high and pointed moutain peaks as in the western part of Norway by the Atlantic ocean. Or the younger mountains in the Alps. It is a very old mountain range between Sweden and Noreay (in north west of Sweden and in north east of Norway). Which became flattened below the heavy ice and got rounded mountain tops during the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Pity you did not went to Stockholm. It is a beautiful and exciting city and you had loved it. Maybe a next time? Welcome! 🙋♀️
Hey! It's such a lovely place! Driving in Östersund/Sundsvall region was memorable. Wish we could drive down to Stockholm, it's just a little out of the way for us. Next time for sure! Thanks for explaining the back story of the dinosaur to us, it's really cute. Also, it must be great to have a family farm up there.
Sweden is not very flat, it's the opposite, if it was flat we would not have so many ski resorts, half of the country is mountains. Swedish mountains often are so big/wide that you do not even notice that you are all of sudden 100-600 meter over the sea level. The most flat areas we have in Sweden is in Skåne and around city Skara where we have most farm lands. Norway have more narrow mountains and therefor they can look more dramatic but not very high always, fjords have Norway much more. Denmark is really flat on the other hand, I think their highest mountain is around 120 meter.
Yeah, I see what you mean! Of course everything Neo said was just our own experience; crossing into Sweden from Norway, the landscape does seem more flat. But I totally agree that Denmark is flat haha.
I have likely over 100km to any mountain over 100m, Uppland where I live is clearly the flattest area of Sweden. Sure we have plenty of rocks and cliffs but nothing over 100m above sea level. I'm usually surprised every time I see the hills in Skåne, Södermanland or Västergötland, areas other people consider flat.
@@hnorrstrom That is not the fattest area, Skåne and Skaraslätten is much more flat. You have some mountains there too like Tallmossen, not high but still a mountain, eastern Sweden have less big mountains, same with south which have almost none
@@roxpace Well the highest point in Skåne is almost twice the height of Tallmossen and Skaraslätten have all the high beautiful Västgöta mountains overlooking the area. Sure I do have plenty of miniature mountains of 10m here on the farm in Eastern Uppland but overall the area has the lowest elevation of all Swedish landscapes compared to sea level.
@@hnorrstrom If you read I never said Uppland is a mountain area, so read again. The big mountain chains starts in west and goes north. And what I said you will never notice that you are on a huge mountain always, like kebnekaise massive is pretty high but doesn't feel like it mostly of the time.
The "Mascot" in Östersund is the "Storsjöodjuret" (Great lake-beast) which is kind of a loch-ness beast that is rumored to live in the lake next to Östersund (folklore tale).
Swedish nature has a bit of everything. The northwest, while not the alps, is definitely not flat. It is just a lesser-known area of Sweden because our mountainous regions are wild and uninhabited (also known as Europe's last remaining true wilderness). Search for Kungsleden to see some videos or pictures of a small part of the area. But Sweden in general, the further north you go, the more hills and mountains you get. But places like Höga Kusten (The High Coast) is still only mid-Sweden's east coast and is far from flat, and so is Söderåsens Nationalpark which is actually in the far south. Search the internet for some pictures.

What a lovely trip! And indeed, the memory of having a good time with friends is more precious!
Yeah, it was one of those trips that you will remember later on in your life...
Everything looks pretty in the video!
Glad you like it!
Great video! Cool to see you visit my home region of Jämtland. Can't wait to see Finland. Hope you had a good time :D
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍7
Haha glad you like it!
Sweden is flat? 😄No it’s definitely not. Åre is btw the lower part of the mountain range.
Well compared with Norway, Austria or Switzerland it is. Compared with anoyone else not.

Glad you enjoy it. hope to see more people enjoying sweden
Wish we had stayed longer, it's a really interesting country with a lot to offer!
When you both came in to Sweden via the Öresundsbridge you totally forgot Swedens 3rd biggest city.
Which one am I thinking of ?
Malmo? Haha we skipped it this time because Neo went there before on a separate trip already.
The "Mascot" in Östersund is the "Storsjöodjuret" (Great lake-beast) which is kind of a loch-ness beast that is rumored to live in the lake next to Östersund (folklore tale).
Wow! Thanks for the backgorund into, gotta say it's really cute for a lake beast haha.
That's so pretty and nice there! And so sweet to see again Tim and Hannah ☺️ Seems like good friends don't fear any weather 😁💖
They are really good company! It was great to meet up with them, and was so hard to say goodbye...
Дiйсно, чудово!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
The dead boat is called 'Donna' and has been there for ~4 years now while the politicians debate what to do about it, with the taxpayers money. :/
Interesting info! Please keep us posted
Why is everyone upset he said Sweden is flat? It is indeed flat compared to most countries.
Oh man! I have no idea why...
Sweden flat??
Compared to Himalaya region yes, but its actually not.
Compared to countries with real mountains, Sweden is indeed pretty flat.

OMG so ignorant to say that Sweden is flat! Do your research better and don't promote a feeling as a fact.
Sweden is aint safe no more. Sök en stad nu kan bo i
