Nordic Horizons: Forests

The Nordic forests of Norway, Sweden, and Finland are some of Europe's most beautiful and ecologically rich areas. Today we're happy to share with you a look at some of the forests that have been virtually implemented in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2! Be-leaf us, you're going to enjoy this blog. 

The northern regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway all share similar forest biomes. However, when traveling from the south to the most northern areas of these regions, you'll be able to spot some differences in how these forests have grown.

In the northernmost areas of the region, the forests are characterized by their sparse, open landscapes. The colder temperatures and shorter growing seasons limit tree height and density, resulting in trees that grow more slowly and can often live for many years. 

Whereas in the south, you can find denser, taller forests, benefiting from the milder temperatures and longer growing seasons. In these areas, the tree species are more diverse, resulting in more vibrant, green, and lush forests. 

Together, these forests represent a beautiful tapestry of nature, showcasing the resilience and diversity of the boreal biome. From the majestic northern taiga to the thriving southern woodlands, they are essential for local wildlife and biodiversity and provide a way of life and work for those who live in very remote areas of this part of the world. 

We look forward to sharing more previews from this upcoming DLC. If you like what you've seen today, consider adding the Nordic Horizons DLC to your Steam Wishlist. It really helps support our future releases. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
