I'm a Swede with two siblings living in Oslo, Norway, and from our chats and their shared photos on our family chat I can tell that either way the Norwegians are clearly more nature inclined than Swedes even. For them, "gå på tur" ("going in a hike tour") is apparently something that can be done more or less any day of the week, while in Sweden you probably plan that for the weekends mostly.
Mentioning that as the article was in fact primarily using Norway as an example.
But then, also in Sweden I think we might have a somewhat higher inclination to be outside than in many other places. Like, even in the freezing winter, the number of bicyclists commuting to work in Stockholm is quite large.
- originalvichy 6y agoI echo this. As a finn with norwegian friends it's the norwegians who are the most nature-loving and it is no suprise since their landscape makes it hard to ignore the elements, and easy to enjoy the views. The finns probably share the extreme relaxation part of nature with swedes. Going to your cabin in the woods with family or friends and leaving your phone on the table to socialize or relax with those around you. A norwegian might like to "relax" by facing the elements and summiting a local mountain :)
- samuell 6y agoYes, that seems like a pretty apt description :)
