Short video of Victoria's visit at SVT News, she is also interviewed:
Victoria explored Garphyttan National Park and walked along Bergslagsleden.
She visited the park to learn more about bird life and the modern history of the spruce bark beetle. The walk included Governor Maria Larsson and staff at the County Administrative Board in Örebro County.
Victoria and the County Administrative Board made a stop at Skomakartorpet. The foundation of the old croft is still visible and with imagination you can understand that there was also arable land here. Now it is a rest area with the opportunity to grill.
- We have had time to see fantastic cultural-historical environments in a fantastic spring-beautiful nature that has changed quite a lot from where we started. With the county administrative board's various experts one can also see the landscape we once had, says Victoria.

By visiting all of Sweden's national parks, the Crown Princess wants to promote outdoor life, encourage movement and get more people to discover what Sweden has to offer in the form of nature experiences.
Together with local experts, the Crown Princess got to experience Garphyttan's nature today with a focus on, among other things, spring flora in deciduous forests, bird life, wetlands and coniferous forests. The first part of the hike went from the park entrance to Svensbodaberget.
In the afternoon, the Crown Princess walked part of Bergslagsleden. There, the hike went through cultivated forest land and a turn into the nature reserve Dunderklintarna.

"Today, Crown Princess Victoria visited Garphyttan National Park Örebro County. During the hike together with the national park's manager with colleagues from the County Administrative Board in Örebro County, she got to know this small but varied gem on the slope of Kilsbergen.
In the open arable land, we looked for traces of older cultivation and buildings. Both blue anemones and white anemones kept us company through the deciduous forest that used to be a sparsely wooded meadow. Here we talked about birds and plans for the restoration of an older wetland. Inside the coniferous forest, it was difficult not to notice how the spruce bark beetle has been persistently refurnished since 2018.
After a stop at the remains of the old Skomakartorpet, the hike led further up on Svensbodaberget, where we enjoyed lunch with a mighty view of the Närkeslätten.
We thank you for a very nice visit and wish the Crown Princess welcome back again soon."
