We started Taktältarna because we ourselves love to travel like this: with the car packed, the map half folded, and no exact plan. 

From our base in Åre, Taktältarna has driven through mountains, along fjords, and across Iceland – and slept in places we would never have found otherwise.

Here we collect travel reports made by us and other roof tenters. We hope it can inspire you in your roof tent dreams!

Taktältarna rents roof tents in Östersund and Stockholm . Here are tips specifically aimed at our rental customers starting from the pick-up location.

If you are renting in Stockholm, we would especially like to advise you to take the ferry over to Gotland . Pickup takes place in Västerhaninge, on the way to the ferry over to Nynäshamn. To Gotland, we did our first longer trip with a roof tent on Taktältarna, when we went around the whole island. It was easy to find nice places to pitch a roof tent, the sea is everywhere and the range of restaurants is great.

Another tip is to go to Scania - we have been to both the Bjärrehalvön (Höganäs! Båstad! Holy Smoke !) and among apple trees and poppies in Österlen .

If you have children, why not a visit to Astrid Lindgren's world in Vimmerby, continue out to the coast at Västervik and then cross the bridge to sunny Öland!
