Nordic Skating is a beloved winter leisure sport in Sweden, and a growing popular activity for tourists who don't have the opportunity to skate on the wild ice in their home countries. Skaters can enjoy the serenity of Swedish nature and the sounds of ice cracks as if the frozen surface is having an echoing conversation. On a cloudy day, the sky and the lake's reflection create an eternal feeling, and make you realize how small humans are in nature. At the same time, the wild ice also displays various natural sculptures, which are simply beautiful to look at (but hard to skate on...).
