A 450-kilometer-long hiking trail through northern Sweden.

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.

Our son took us over to Holmon on the ferry. We had a great time. The island is quite beautiful, it is tranquil and a place to wind down in. Near the ferry there is the boat museum. A wonderful collection of nautical bits and pieces including more than 1/2 dozen entire boats. There are boatbuilding tools, fisherman’s nets etc. Fascinating. After a spot of excellent lunch at the restaurant/cafe we then walked through the village to the lighthouse. We passed the windmill being restored and the beehives to get there. The meadows are full of wonderful flowers. At the side of the road we also spotted early alpine Strawberries - smultron. On the way back to the ferry we stopped by the church - another lovely building with a separate bell tower. Just had time to buy some Holman honey from the shop. This is really good, worth the visit for this alone. The weather was warm and the we had sunny blue skies. I think this helped make it such a magic experience. We would go for a bit longer next time - perhaps staying a night or two!
