Europe’s Greatest Remote Escapes

Whether you're looking for an active break or somewhere to finish writing a bestselling novel, here’s a selection of the wildest and most remote spots in Europe to really get away from it all.

The southernmost island in the Gothenberg archipelago is known for its swimming. Sure, the waters aren't tropical but you can warm up in a floating sauna. Bring your tent with you and pitch it wherever you like; the Allemansrätten (the freedom to roam) is preserved in Swedish law meaning that this is one of the best countries in the world to enjoy staying in a tent in the wild.
