Map of Sweden. Much of Sweden is heavily forested, with 69% [1] of the country being forest and woodland, while farmland constitutes only 8% of land use. [2] Sweden consists of 39,960 km 2 of water area, constituting around 95,700 lakes. [3] [A] The lakes are sometimes used for water power plants, especially the large northern rivers and lakes.

Building heights are measured in "plushöjd" with the RH2000 vertical reference system in Sweden, which shares its zero point with the NAP. The zero point is approximately at sea level. A common mistake is therefore to cite the "plushöjd" as the building's height, which in fact is the height above sea level.

Sweden, [f] formally the Kingdom of Sweden, [g] [h] is a Nordic country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It borders Norway to the west and north, and Finland to the east. At 450,295 square kilometres (173,860 sq mi), [ 4 ] Sweden is the largest Nordic country and the fifth-largest country in Europe.
Map of countries coloured according to their highest point. The following sortable table lists land surface elevation extremes by country or dependent territory. Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.
This list of tallest buildings in Scandinavia ranks skyscrapers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden that stand at least 100 m (328 ft) tall, based on height to architectural top (i.e. heights measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the top of the building, including spires).
If the melting continues at the same rate, the south peak will sink below the north peak (which is the highest fixed point in Sweden) within a few years' time. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] However, as of July 2015, Tarfala Research Station reports that the glacier has grown by 4.5 to 2,102 metres (15 to 6,896 ft) — from its lowest measurement of 2,097.5 ...
