This gallery showcases the Rogen Nature Reserve in Sweden and the nearby Femundsmarka National Park in Norway. Both places offer a range of outdoor activities, from hiking and water sports to winter skiing. The landscape is dominated by numerous lakes, expansive pine forests, and rugged, rocky terrain. I’ve had the chance to visit twice so far — once during the summer and again in winter — each season revealing a different side of the area’s beauty.
