Until a few days ago I have been hiking in the mountains in the very north of Sweden. My exploration lasted almost two weeks. The longest part of my hike was within the boundaries of the national park Sarek, the most mountainous area in Sweden. This largely untouched area is only accessible on foot and has no marked trails, accommodations or other man-made infrastructure (except for a single emergency phone and two bridges).
This means you have to carry a large amount of supplies in addition to tent and other gear. Of course, I also took a camera and tripod with me leading to an initial backpack weight of almost 30 kg.

I have just begun to review my pictures, the above are two samples. Unfortunately, I lost some shots due to a defect of a memory card. Nevertheless I am happy with the results and will setup a new gallery in the near future, so be sure to check back.
For those interested in my actual hiking route I created the following plot:

Hi Stefan Rieger,
Great post! I’m really interested to go to sweden. Initially i wanted to go to tajikistan this year, but because of corona Sweden sounds like a good alternative 😉 Do you maybe have the gpx file of this track? And also of the other one where you describe you have walked mainly in the southern part including rapa valley?
Best, Jaap Wijnen
Hi Jaap,
thanks for your feedback! I’m sorry to tell you that I do not provide GPX files. More about my reasons can be found here.
However, if you have any questions about the area, I’m happy to answer your questions.
Cheers
Stefan
