A 450-kilometer-long hiking trail through northern Sweden.
Reviewed By iporze - Indiana, United States
I started on my solo hike in Abisko and branched off to Vistas from Alesjaure and then hooked back into the Kundsleden trail at Salka via Nallo, and then onto Singi and Kebnekaise mountain station. The trail was simply amazing, and the folk one meets along the way was very diverse. The after dinner hut discussions were funny as was the broad range of topics discussed. From Kebnekaise I returned to Singi and hiked over in Norway via Hukejaure hut which was closed when I got there. I had obtained a hut key for the norwegian huts and I did a circular route back to abisko via Gautelis, Unna Allakas back to Alesjaure and Abisko. An amazing series of trails that really lets one experience safe hiking above the arctic circle. The simple pleasure of just drinking from the streams without concern was a great as well. Instead of flying back to Stockholm I booked a private sleeper and enjoyed a great train trip thru Sweden as well, great way to end the trip.

Walk over the frozen sea and view Lulea from the seaside. Great experience and one of the highlights in Lulea in winter.

Very nice natural reserve where the main attraction is the rapids in the Pite river. You can also walk on trails and bridges a little away from the river itself. There are several prepared bbq sites. There is also a café also serving light meals open in the summer and a shop with local handicraft open the year around. You can also visit a museum show how timber was transported down the river and all its rapids from the middle of the 18 hundreds.

If you are in to trekking and mountain hike, this is the place. One of the most beautiful places in Lapland. Plenty of well marked trails to follow. The "Kings Trial" Kungsleden starts here at the Abisko Turist station.
6. Gammelstad Church Town
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 413 reviews
Of Sweden's 71 original church towns, only 16 are left today. The majority of these have been reduced to a remnant. Gammelstad has the country's largest and best preserved church town with 408 cottages comprising 553 rooms. The church town presumably arose from a combination of several factors: the long distances, merchants' needs for storage and accommodation at the marketplace, the church stables and last but not least the population's duty to attend church regularly. Gammelstad Church Town was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 7 December, 1996. Visit Gammelstad Visitor Center for more information. Visitor Center offers information, exhibition, slideshow room, souvenirshop, audioguides and guided tours of Gammelstad Church Town.

Kiruna Church is a big and beautiful wooden church in the heart of the city. Build between 1909-1912 it's one of the biggest wooden buildings in Sweden. 2001 it was voted the most liked building in Sweden. The altarpiece is work of Prince Eugen Napoleon Nicolaus of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Närke. Definitely worth a visit.

When a very long river as the Tornea goes to the Botnian gulf, then you have some very steep jumps in various localtion. Kukkolaforsen is the most interesting one: amazing fishing spot and hiking place. Suggestion: go for it from the Swedish side as it is more spectacular.

It is a small open air museum. We were there during the Samisk veckan (the sami week) in march and they had activities and real reindeer on the premises :) Thanks to a recent snowfall and perfect blue sky it was a great day to visit the museum. The museum building also houses some interesting collections and exhibitions about the region.
