Winter Trip to Omberg Nature Reserve
Nestled in the heart of Sweden’s Östergötland County, between the serene Lake Vättern and Lake Tåkern, lies the enchanting Omberg mountain, a haven of rich forests and calm. On the first Sunday of December, we embarked on an early morning journey from Linköping, a drive of approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, to this winter wonderland.
Accompanied by friends Bartek, Houyem, Fleur (who is also an Ambassador), and myself, we delved into the heart of Omberg Nature Reserve. The absence of other visitors or even footprints in the park added a touch of wildness to our adventure, making it feel as though we were the only ones in this snowy paradise.
Our day was filled with laughter and playful snow fights, sliding down the forested slopes to reach the lakeside. Some areas were quite slippery, adding to the thrill and excitement. Amid the serene backdrop, we created snow angels and shared stories, enveloping ourselves in the magic of the season.
However, not all adventures are without their mishaps. On our return, I experienced a small accident – losing my balance, I found myself tumbling into the lake! Fortunately, we were close to the parking area where our car awaited, providing a quick escape from the chilly waters.
Despite the little fall, the trip was an absolute joy. It offered us a much-needed break from our studies, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature. We trekked about 8 kilometers on foot, which took us around 4-5 hours, including brief pauses to soak in the stunning views around us.
As we journeyed back home, our hearts were full of unforgettable memories from Omberg – a testament to the beauty of Swedish nature and the unbreakable bond of friendship.
