SWEDEN SVERIGE
Of the many fine qualities attributed to the Swedes, their respect for nature is one that has probably contributed most to their land, resulting in the preservation of countryside that is as beautiful as it is varied. In the south there are rolling hills and miles of lush, green agricultural land, while the golden west coast offers sun-kissed sandy beaches, Mediterranean style. Lower central Sweden is laced with ice-blue streams and literally thousands of crystal lakes, including two of Europe's largest, and further north are the last great wilderness areas in the continent, comprising great snowy mountains, pine forests, flower-strewn meadows and air so clean and fresh that it is a tonic for both soul and body.

SWEDEN SVERIGE
Of the many fine qualities attributed to the Swedes, their respect for nature is one that has probably contributed most to their land, resulting in the preservation of countryside that is as beautiful as it is varied. In the south there are rolling hills and miles of lush, green agricultural land, while the golden west coast offers sun-kissed sandy beaches, Mediterranean style. Lower central Sweden is laced with ice-blue streams and literally thousands of crystal lakes, including two of Europe's largest, and further north are the last great wilderness areas in the continent, comprising great snowy mountains, pine forests, flower-strewn meadows and air so clean and fresh that it is a tonic for both soul and body.
For those in search of urbanity however, Sweden boasts a capital that is considered by many to be the most beautiful in the world. Like many Swedish cities, Stockholm has an exquisite, medieval Old Town that is contrasted by modern architecture and public sculpture of great innovation and distinction. In vivid colour photography this book gives many more examples of either nature or culture giving Sweden its unique beauty.
Av de m^nga goda egenskaper som ar utmarkande for svenskarna, ar respekten for naturen den som troligen har betytt mest for Sverige och det har resulterat i att bevara en landsbygd som ar lika vacker som den ar omvaxlande. I soder ar det mjuka kullar och mil efter mil av bordigtgrontjordbrukslandskap, medan den gyllene, i typisk medelhavsstil, Vastkusten erbjuder solstankta sandstrander. Mellan-Sverige ar overs&llat av klarblSa vattendrag och bokstavligen tusentals kristall-klara sjoar, inraknat tv& av Europas storsta, och langre norr ut ligger de sista stora vildmarkerna i Europa med valdiga snotackta fjallomrSden, barrskogar, blomsterangar och en luft sS ren och klar att det ar starkande for bSde kropp och sjal.
For den som istallet soker det eleganta stadslivet, kan svenskarna skryta med en huvudstad som av m4nga anses vara vackrast i varladen. Liksom mSnga svenska stader har Stockholm en mycket fornamlig medeltida stadsdel "Gamla Stan" som stSr i skarp kontrast till den moderna arkitekturen, och en offentllg utsmyckning som tyder pi start nyskapande samt individualitet. I klara fargbilder bjuder denna bok pL manga fler exempel p4 hur natur och kultur tillsammans har skapat Sveriges unika skonhet. Vissza
