Information about Outdoor Recreation

Hey all!

I hope that you're having a pleasant day! All's well here, just more classes!

I would like to inform you, my readers, of recreational activities around Uppsala. The first things that pop into my mind of things to do are biking and hiking!

Here is the link to a map of biking routes in Uppsala:

Here is some information about hiking around Uppsala. There are many places to go, and please observe the right of public access to Swedish properties. One may camp, hike through and simply relax and enjoy anyone's property or private forest. Of course that means that you must respect their natural resources and properties. This is really important and for everyone's common benefit. Here is the website with the English version:

Also canoeing is a common thing to do:

For any other events or for ideas of what to do while in Uppsala, there is the city tourism website:

So, there are plenty of things to do around Uppsala, especially when it comes to enjoying nature. There are many productive (silvicultural or managed for economic benefit) and old-growth forests or forests that are managed for ecosystem services and/or biodiversity objectives around Uppsala.

Enjoy!
