Holidays in Finland or autumn Scandinavian

The Nordic countries - Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark - actually good at any time of year. In winter, there is especially festive in the summer - not too hot, spring - very sunny, but in the fall ...

Buffet

Autumn in Sweden   - The time of abundant libations and biting. Firstly, in the autumn there are holidays tasting whiskey and apple festival. Secondly, the Swedish restaurants are beginning to offer local mulled wine with spices - gleg, which can be washed down with baked pork leg. So, moving from restaurant to restaurant, and must travel on Sweden   during the cold season. By the way, the traditional "buffet" this year celebrates its 400th anniversary, but this tradition goes back to the mists of time: the fact that the Swedes - the cult of communication, the main joy in life - quietly sit and talk with family and friends, without being distracted by minor things. It is in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, in ancient times there was a tradition all the food intended for a friendly meal, at the same time put on the table in large containers: snacks and hot meals, and sweets.

Taken away from the table, need to catch my breath and stay active. The most interesting autumn fun Sweden   - Fishing. Well, even trekking - long walks in the national parks. In general, if you have limited vacation, and want to see a lot in the fall, it is best to go to Southern Sweden and the island of Gotland. The fact that this region - so-called "concentrate" throughout Sweden, which can be visited for 5-7 days.

Post voyage can Skåne and the city of Malmo - and there are endless beaches of the Baltic coast and the old village (by the way, you can stay in a rural house for 30-40 euros per day), and medieval streets. By the way, from Malmo across the bridge over the Straits of Oresund, you can go to Copenhagen, capital of Denmark. Also Malmo - a city which is not boring in bad weather (and it is in Sweden is changing quite often): the fact that Malmo is so rich museums and art galleries that they can spend nearly two weeks.

Gotland - a special story. Autumn tour on it - the most comfortable and bright, just because this time of year adds color medieval buildings Gotland. It is known that a half-century archaeologists is on Gotland managed to find more than 700 treasures Vikings. By the way, in the local tourist office for a small fee (about 10 - 15 euros) you can rent a suit of medieval native and walk in such a way around the island, take pictures ...

Another Swedish town worthy of the autumn holiday - Halland. That's it from here and start fishing trips, as well as nearly a hundred of hiking trails at an incredibly beautiful and completely wild places. It is believed that Halland - the best place in order to prevent autumn depression take hold of my heart.

Activities in Finland

Do you like mushrooms? We have not been on the "quiet hunt"? Rather, grab their baskets and baskets and go to Finland   - More suitable for mushroom and berry country is not found! In this country, berries and mushrooms can be harvested in 40 national parks, which are specially adapted for this kind of leisure. That is: there is a path, sometimes - benches for rest and often ... forest toilets. That is the usual wooden "bird houses", which is kept clean. Fall in Finnish forests can be harvested about 15 kinds of berries (mainly - cloudberries, blueberries and cranberries) and nearly thirty species of edible mushrooms. Of course, for such a holiday is the best solution - rent a car (from 60 euros per night).

An alternative to collecting - vyskokulturny, we can say - aristocratic leisure. It opened in the fall season in the Finnish theater, and particularly - in the magnificent National Opera in Helsinki. After familiarizing with the beautiful to the restaurant - on the eve of the weekend, many are open until 3-4 in the morning, so that will not be bored.

There is still one of the favorite species Vacation in Finland   Ecotourism is: rent a cottage on the shore of a quiet lake, the obligatory sauna, fishing and cycling. By the way, roll on Finland   cycling is possible until mid-December!

Norwegian Riviera under the umbrella

Going into the fall Norway Do not forget an umbrella, rubber boots and a good cloak will be a lot of rain, and they will go often. But to be quite warm (up to the end of October the temperature is quite conducive long walks and hikes). Although it is better to rent a car and drive forests, fields and quiet hamlets near Oslo: like as far from civilization and close to nature: the sea around mushrooms (especially chanterelles), blueberries, cloudberries, cranberries. And everywhere people running around with ski poles, but without skis they are not crazy, just engaged in "Nordic walking".

If your journey Norway   falls on a weekend, go to Bergen. For sausage. And do not laugh: the fall of the weekend takes place here farm fair, where you can buy fresh sausage, smoked and cured meats, homemade cheeses and a fantastic cheese (all in Norway   a cult of dairy products), honey (both regular and "drunk"), traditional berry jams and cakes with them.

And, of course, can not escape from the traditional entertainment - fishing (who once went to the salmon - will go again). In Norway, the cult of this ancient craft, and the autumn - the "trophy" time for fishing.

Denmark visiting Hamlet

With regard to weather and climate, in this Denmark   the most fortunate among its Scandinavian neighbors. Autumn is not particularly rainy and warm enough - approximately + 5 ... + 14 C. So a walk in the country - is a pleasure. Of course, better to start from the capital - Copenhagen, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, which has almost a thousand years of history, and in which he lives is a real queen, Margrethe II.

If together with you Denmark   travels heir - certainly take him to Denmark, where the famous giant Legoland: city, collected from detalek famous designer.

And in the fall, you can get to the real traditional Danish wedding. She did not like the refined Central European ceremony: the wedding celebrating 3-5 days, very noisy, fun, especially in small towns. At weddings often hold medieval games in the "clogging whale" and "biting the postman." From the side it looks unbearably funny.
