Vildriket Varghotell - The Wolf Hotel in Sweden's Wildlife ParkThe Wolf Hotel  

Sweden's Vildriket-Nordic Wildlife Park takes things a step further. How about a romantic moonlit night with a pack of wolves outside your window roaming freely in the Hälsingland forest? Sounds too crazy? Don't worry.

Unlike how things evolved in the Jurassic Park movie, the Wolf Hotel in Vildriket has stood the test of time and has safely guarded its guests from predators for over two decades.

Varghotellet, which means "Wolf Hotel" in Swedish, is situated inside the Vildriket animal park, next to one of the two wolf enclosures.

Around the wildlife park is an elevated three-kilometer wooden boardwalk, which you can safely walk on in a loop while observing wild nature. Completing the circle takes about an hour at an average pace.

There are several spots along the way where you can sit and rest, enjoy the view, or grab a bite to eat. The best time to take a walk in the park is in the early morning or late evening since the animals are most active during these times.
