It is far more rewarding to see an animal in the wild. But where are they? Where is the best place to go if you want to spot a Moose or a Beaver? To help you out, I have compiled this list of 10 of the most popular wild animals in Sweden and where to see them. Let’s begin with Moose! Moose in Sweden Moose can be found all over Sweden. But If you travel through Sweden, don’t expect to see Moose everywhere. Spend some time out in nature.
Moose prefer forests, but you often see them close to towns and on farm lands. It is impressive to meet a Moose in the forest. But most people usually see them while driving their car. If you want to make sure to really see a Moose in Sweden, then I recommend you to join a Moose watching tour in Skinnskatteberg, not far from Stockholm.. These tours have a 100% success rate for more than 10 years. The largest Moose in Sweden live in Sarek National Park in Lapland.
