We have one poisonous snake in Sweden, "Huggorm" (viper in English), easily recognizable with the zig-zag pattern on its back. Which is the one the kid got bit by. Its not generally deadly, but it can be if an allergic gets bit. In general 1 person dies every 10 years.
Other than that one, we have two non-poisonous snakes. The Grass Snake (Vanlig Snok), and the Smooth Snake (Hasselsnok).
All snakes in Sweden are protected (Fridlysta). Meaning, you can't disturb them in any way.
With wasps you could just limit your movements and they will just be cool. They always get aggro at people who waves and express stress. For snakes I always heard stomping works to make them shy away, I dont know. Usually colubrid and vipers dont stay close in same areas.
Camping childfree sounds like a nice plan too as for putting attention to whole other things.
Canoing to and wild camping on islands is also quite an experience :)
The jellyfish always come in August, but here on the east coast they are harmless. Different from the west coast there, they are not to be played with. The jellyfish on the west coast also look completely different, long burning threads.
I didn't know that there's no "rödmaneter" in the Baltic sea. =P
It's not something I usually worry to much about because rödmaneter are "rare" compared to öronmaneter and I don't encounter them that often.
I don't think I've been stung by one in the last 20 years or so.
Thanks for clarifying and good to know! :)
@@LivingSwedish I found the translation for rödmanet/brännmanet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion%27s_mane_jellyfish
Maybe that rings a bell since they are quite common around the British isles as well?
They can apparently become absolutely massive but fortunately not in Swedish waters. ;)
I understand that Sweden did have a lot of rain this season, as it was over here. Thanks for sharing!
If you go to the inland countryside next summer, maybe check which areas got the flood mosquitoes, they were all over some areas this year. And apparently you can get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis. Sounds charming, the Swedish countryside!
It was an incredible rainy summer.
But looking at the forest fires and heat waves in southern Europe made me think: "Nah _perhaps_ I shouldn't complain".
Yeah the Germans invades every summer. ;)
If there are many jellyfish near the coast or not will depend on local circumstances like the wind, water temperature etc.
They can be more or less completely gone from one day to another.
"Rödmaneter" are the ones you want to avoid because the sting is rather painful whereas "öronmaneter" are quite harmless.
Öronmaneter can give you an itch if you play around with them like we did when we were children and threw them at each other etc.
Bad luck with the snake. I think I've seen less than five in my entire life.
It's the common European adder/viper and according to Wiki there are about 1300 people bitten in Sweden each year with about 12 % requiring hospitalization.
That is 5 too many snakes for me hahaha
@@LivingSwedish It's basically just one venomous snake to look out for in Sweden. Teach your kids what they look like and they will be just fine. I'm over fifty and grew up in the countryside and I have seen the vonomus kind maybe twice in my life. The girl was really unlucky!
What a lovely video from your camping trip. They did right when they killed/removed the wasp nest. If anyone get stinged by them and are allergic it can lead to serius canseaquenses. The summer has really been bad in some places of sweden. That storm Hans and the raining that lead to the flooding in some places. It never reached us up here in the north. As for the "invasion" of Norwegions and Germans. It´s nothing new. The norwegions comes to shop, cheap booze and snack since they have an higher tax on sugger and alcohole. And is also cheper here to go out and eat then there. The Germans come here to just have there vacation and with sume luck see the midnight sun. Germans have from my own experience come here since the -70´s
Oskarshamn is in Småland, which I think is the area we have most German visitors. I it closer to Germany and unlike the rest of the Swedish south have a lot of forest (and if you want to find a cheap cottage in southern Sweden Småland is the best bet).
I'll also point out that I'm 51 and I've seen two or maybe three vipers in my entire life, and one was most likely dead (I had my camera about 10 cm away from it when I photographed it), so the existence of vipers is something I have in the back of my mind, not more than that.Make sure the kids know that grey (in very rare cases blue) snakes with a black zigzag pattern are dangerous and hopefully that should be enough. Sometimes they are almost completely black, so staying away from black snakes is probably also good. Most black snakes in Sweden are totally harmless though.
Regarding jellyfish in the Baltic sea, I occasionally pick one up and play with it. They are harmless. Another thing that might happen when taking a bath on a sandy beach in the Baltic is stepping on a flounder. You'll feel a bit of fluttering under your foot, but the fish will be gone in seconds and you'll never see it. And it's not a stingray (they are quite tasty and you can buy them in fish shops in Öland) so there's no venomous stinger that will sting you...
Personally I haven't done any camping this year, maybe I'll do some this fall, possibly just putting my sleeping bag in a shelter and leave the tent home. There's lots of ways to camp!

Hallo Uli , welche Karriere website kannst du mir vorschlagen ich suche jetzt Arbeit in Sweden umzuziehen.Englisch -Deutsch kann sein
@@KemalKaratatar Ganz klar LinkedIn. Nummer 1 hier in Schweden!
@@LivingSwedish Ja ich benütze es auch haufig 👍
Am I allowed to make suggestions? As long you have small children, chose a camping cabin and do those child oriented places, like Astrid Lindgren, Skara sommarland. Later when they get not so childish, its time for more adventure?
You're more than welcome to make suggestions :) I think a camping cabin also sounds nice with the children. We will definitely try that, thank you!
Hay friend nice Video LIVE
