2 weeks (mid/end august) by car, in southern Sweden. Where would you recommend me to go to?

Hejsa! As the title says, I'll be driving up to Sweden for a 2 weeks trip. I'll be moving by car. As of now, I've plotted a high level route that I'll try to follow. See the plan here: http://i.imgur.com/O3YeqW2.jpg Do you have any recommendations for places to visit, in these areas? Interests wise, I'm leaning towards outdoors activities, nature daytrips / circuit trails, landmarks, museums.

Trip in southern Sweden and you plan on visiting Härjedalen :D Anyways, I would skip the Tänndalen (Härjedalen) part, because it's a huge detour. At New Year, I drove from Göteborg to Vemdalen, which is close to Tänndalen, and it took 10-12 hours. 12 hours going back, because of the weather conditions. So yeah, consider skipping Tänndalen as you'll probably have seen enough trees by then anyway ;) Instead, I would recommend Tylösand which is a beach in Halmstad, the town Eksjö in Småland because of their wooden inner city, and the lake-systems in Dalsland (west of Vänern) and perhaps go canoeing in the lakes for a day or two there. Is the pin southwest of Askersund for the Tiveden national park? Because that's a very nice forest :) There's also a very nice national park in Skåne with a huge ravine which is called Söderåsens Nationalpark. And the pin on the west coast (aka best coast), is it for Marstrand or Smögen perhaps? Both are great places to go and very iconic for the western coast. If you want to see elks, you might do so on your trips in the national parks, but if you want to be sure to see them then there's an elk park in Bohuslän called Moose af Anneröd. Hope these tips helps you out a bit and have a great time on your trip!

Go to Österlen, south-east part of Sweden, an area close to Ystad. Known for apple orchards and beatiful surroundings.

You should definitly see Läckö Slott which is located at the largest lake in Sweden, Vänern. Also I recommend seeing Göta Kanal which was built over 100 years ago trying to connect the west coast with the east coast. When you are at the east coast, check out Södra Ölands odlingslandskap (I'm writing all the names in sweden so it's easier for you to google): It's a world nature heritage. There is also a world heritage in Falun, a huge old copper mine. You know that we Swedes are known for our red houses. The paint originally comes from the copper mine. And take at least one or two days in Stockholm: It is absolutely one of the most beautiful cities in the world located on all the islands.

If you are on the west coast and close to Halmstad you should definitely go to Haverdal nature reserve. Beautiful beach and loads of small roads to travel in the woods. If you are on the east coast go to stenshuvud nature reserve, loads of Viking sites and beautiful beach and nature.

Gothenburg is a historic town, so if you like history, check out its museums and historical streets like Avenyn, and the streets near Avenyn. If you're like me and like women, go to the night clubs at night to find girls. Recommendtions: Nefertiti, and clubs such as Trädgården (the garden).

Hope that you enjoy yourself, the girls, the city, as much as I enjoyed my 3 years of living in Göteborg!
