Default 2 guys looking for a good backpack coutry

Hello people,

Me and a mate have decided to go on a 2 week backpack tour this
summer. I never went backpacking before, but in my enthuisiasm I've
allready bought the whole equipment and I'm ready to rock. The only
problem is that we're still deciding on where to go.

We need to keep it low budget, being students and all. Viewing from
this and an adventerous perspective, we want to camp outside, in the
nature not on campings. We also want to hike for about 8 days and
have the resting 6 days to relax and enjoy nature.

So the only 2 countries that allow for free camping seem to be norway
and sweden right? Or are we mistaking? Anybody else had any good
experiences with these kind of trips? I'd like to hear every pointer
you can give us, conserning everthing... think about beauty of
enviorment, walkabillity, cost, temperature, free camping, etc...

thanks in advance

We're from the Netherlands by the way, might be usefull to know when
considering travel distance.

True; Norway and Sweden allow free camping, but make sure to ask
permission, if you're camping out close to a house. I don't know, if
other countries offer free camping.

A good ressource of camping in Sweden is avaliable he
http://www.hejoly.demon.nl/countries/sweden.html
(and compiled by your own countryman too

Both countries have plenty and plenty of hiking trails, great nature and
are very popular with hikers, kayakers and canoe-fanatics. So, if you
fancy a moose in your back yard, that's the place for you.

Hi my name is Florin and i'll suggest you to visit Romanian
Carpathians. I have a special programme (tour) in Rodnei Mountains,
an ideal place for your relaxing days. And is also cheap (I'm also a
student (Geography) and I need some extra money during summer). So,
please take a look at :
http://rodneimountains.3x.ro to see other details. I'll asure you a
pleasant and interesting tour (transport from railway station or
airport, maps, accommodation, guidance services, privite tours--and
all these will cost you around 100 euro/person. For photos and other
details visit my website: http://rodneimountains.3x.ro
