Join us on a historical walk through Sweden’s third largest apple district!
In the eastern Vätterbranterna, just outside Huskvarna, a lush landscape spreads out with fantastic views. Apples have been grown here since the 1930s and today three growers work side by side.
During the hike we visit all the farms and make our way up to the historic Vistakulle, where we are treated to a magnificent view of Sweden’s second largest lake, Vättern.
We travel through nature reserves, along narrow paths in the hilly landscape, while your guide shares exciting stories and shows you hidden gems that can otherwise be difficult to find.
At the end of the tour, we enjoy a classic Swedish fika at one of the growers, where we are offered homemade apple cake, coffee and locally produced apple drink.

Swike - Hike & Bike in Sweden
Swike – Hike & Bike in Sweden creates meaningful and active experiences for those who want to discover Sweden in a sustainable and natural way. Our trips take you through some of the country’s most beautiful and culturally rich areas – with Småland and Lake Vättern as our home ground.
Our multi-day tours are for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and really experience the place. We organize trips between 4 and 8 days, where you travel by bike or on foot through forests, along lakes and between small towns. You mostly travel independently with clear routes and luggage transportation, but we also add guided tours where local guides give you unique insights into nature, culture and history. Accommodation, food and experiences are carefully selected to give you a genuine and relaxing overall experience.
For those looking for a shorter but memorable experience, we offer day activities of 2 to 6 hours in hiking, biking and kayaking. These activities are perfect for beginners and experienced nature lovers alike, and are often led by guides who will take you to spots you might otherwise miss. A great way to discover the local area – whether you’re a tourist or a local.
Swike is based on the belief that the best journeys are made at a slower pace, with care for both the place and the people who live there. That’s why we partner with local actors and focus on small scale, sustainability and personalized service.
Welcome to experience Sweden with all your senses – by bike, on foot or with paddle in hand.
