Sweden’s Norra Kvill National Park

On our trip through Sweden, we stopped overnight to camp at Kalmar County to see two things; the Rumskulla Oak or Kvillekenand the Norra Kvill National Park.  Sweden is world renown for its abundance of trees and this park promised us a close look at some old growth forests, which are rare this far south in Sweden.  Not only did we find old growth forests, but large areas of moss covered rocks, a lake covered with lily pads, and heather flowers.  It is a truly magical spot.

Visiting the grand Kvilleken Oak Tree in southern Sweden

It’s no secret that I absolutely love trees.  So when I stumbled upon the Monumental Trees website, it changed my world and led me to the Kvilleken Oak tree; a truly gem of a tree located in the heart of Sweden.
