Abisko, Bergslagen, Gotland Island, the High Coast, Lapland and Sarek are legends among hikers and hikers around the world. That's right. Its natural, impossible beauty is only equaled by its pristine state.
El Sarek National Park for example, it is true desert as nature brought us so there are no slopes here and few comforts. Otherwise, the vast majority of hiking and trekking trails in Sweden are clearly marked with some 350 hostels, hill stations and cabins that are well equipped and a pleasant site for leg-weary visitors.
Worthy of special mention is Lapland, a World Heritage Site, a region that is home to the Sami, the indigenous peoples of this land. And being listed as a World Heritage Site means that it is very special to visit its mountains, forests, glaciers, plains and rivers.
Hiking and trekking in Sweden throughout the year activities that you might want to combine with cross-country skiing and skating in winter and canoeing and kayaking in the rest of the year. There are about 400 marked trails, usually through an entire county, for example the Blekinge, Skåne and Halland.
There are also trails that run through the national parks like the incomparable Kungsleden (King's Road) from Abisko to Hemavan past Kebnekaise Sweden's highest mountain.
There are trails with different themes that can be found in Dalsland - Pilgrimsleden (the Pilgrim's way), Småland - the John Bauer slope, Dalarna - the Vasaloppsleden (the Vasa race ski slope), Västmanland - Bruksleden (the Mill slope) , Småland - and Utvandrarleden (the migrant trail).
The road can also be as easy as in Roslagsleden, on the outskirts of Stockholm, which is dotted with towns and villages, while civilization has not yet reached wild and wonderful like the Sarek National Park and Lapland.
There the nature lover will discover an exuberant flora and fauna that can be seen in golden eagles, elk, beavers, the wolverine, the lynx, rare orchids and in the extreme north of the country, the northern lights.
