On this exciting trip you will venture out in wolf territory with our skilled wolf trackers to learn the art of tracking wolves and other wildlife. During these two nights we will set up a hammock camp where a family of wolves roam free. We provide all the gear for a comfortable yet thrilling night in the wilderness.

During this trip we travel together by foot and by van in small groups in one of Sweden´s wolf territories. You will have good chances to hear Wolves howl, see tracks and feel their presence.

Hearing a wolves howl in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    DAY 1: ENTERING WOLF TERRITORY We meet up at Köping train station at 12 noon. We will drive to our storage where we will re-pack everything in the backpacks before we head out in the forest to begin your adventure. When we are all set we will leave the civilization and head out to a nearby forest, the territory of a resident wolf family. Arriving in the forest we embark on a forest hike to set up camp. Hammocks are strung up, and together, we prepare for our first night under the stars. A crackling campfire and an outdoor feast mark the evening, the sun bidding us farewell over the tranquil woods. Imagine this: a dark forest, trees whispering, and the night sky overhead, all while knowing a wolf family roams nearby. We wait in anticipation, the experience of hearing wolves howl can be both meditative and thrilling. Night in hammocks.

    DAY 2: WOLF TRACKING AND WATCHING Rise and shine to a forest breakfast with steaming coffee and tea. If we believe that there is a chance to spot wolves we may get up for a morning excursion. Today, our focus shifts to tracking — paw prints, droppings, and other telltale signs that wolves are sharing the landscape. Dive into the world of wolf behavior and current conservation issues, answering burning questions: • What defines a wolf territory? • Why do wolves howl? • Who's the leader of the pack? • How many wolves does it take to kill a moose? As night falls, be ready for a silent, headlamp-lit walk through rugged terrain. Our destination: a strategic spot where we settle in, listening for the captivating sounds of the night. Night in hammocks.

We get another chance to track and watch for wolves before it is time to pack up. we bid farewell to our temporary woodland home, and head back to civilization. After two nights in the wild, consider staying the next night in Stockholm for a well-deserved shower and the comfort of a proper bed. End of adventure. Goodbye!
