Two borders away
This country borders a neighbour of Sweden but not Sweden itself, so you cross exactly two borders to reach it by land.
Think you know your neighbours?
Border Chain gives you two countries and you connect them by naming neighbours, one border at a time. A new puzzle every day.
How far are you from Sweden?
On a phone this uses GPS. The calculator opens with Sweden already selected and measures the straight-line distance to its nearest border.
