During the fall 2017, crown princess Victoria launches a series of hikes through all Sweden's provinces.
The hiking starts in September 2017 and will be carried out in the next few years. The county administrative boards in interaction with the local community will play an important part in designing the visits.
Each province is visited during a day where the crown princess walks to experience a part of Sweden's uniquely accessible and varied nature. The crown princess wishes also to increase the value of outdoor life and movement in connection with this project through Sweden.

Margareta Thorgen to Expressen:
- This was something that Crown Princess Victoria began to think about a year ago, when we planned the arrangements around her 40th birthday. It was a wish she had - to have the opportunity to visit all Sweden's provinces with a focus on outdoor life and active movement.
The purpose of the hikes, which will be one day at a province, is to showcase Sweden's nature.
- The Crown Princess wants to visualize the treasure that Swedish nature is. All who live and work in our country can experience it and through the province hikes she wants to highlight it, said Thorgren.
Victoria's and the court's idea is that the 25 hikes should be carried out for a period of about two to three years.
- It is 25 days spread over different months and seasons. It should also go hand in hand with the official duties and other commitments that the Crown Princess has during the year.
The first hike takes place next Saturday in Västergötland, which is Crown Princess Victoria's Duchy. Victoria, among other things, visits the Varnhems monastery area and then walks along the pilgrim trail along the mountain Billingen. The walk ends at Hornborgasjön.
- The Crown Princess has been looking forward to initiating these hikes for a long time. The hope is that more people see Sweden's amazing nature and thus appreciate and be careful about nature, said Thorgren.
