    Hikes in Höör in Skåne – the best tips and trails

    In the middle of the Swedish region Skåne lies the town of Höör. Every time I saw the name “Höör” on a road sign, I wondered how to pronounce it and what there is to see.

    6 amzing hikes in Hemavan in Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve

    Five years ago, when I finished the hike Ammarnäs – Hemavan on Kungsleden, I said: “one day I want to live here”. Unfortunately, houses in Hemavan are unaffordable as it is a winter sports village where the rich elite of Sweden has a second home. Or a third. But … I’m lucky that my partner (not a rich elite haha) lives in Hemavan and that I now spend about half of my time there. So over the past summers, I have been on several adventures in the amazing Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve, the largest nature reserve in Europe. In this article I share 6 beautiful hikes in Hemavan with you! The…

    Jämtlandstriangeln: the best short multi day hike in Sweden

    I once came across the Jämtlandstriangeln on Pinterest and I saved it ‘for someday.’ In the summer of 2021, my hiking buddy and I were at the Höga Kusten and we actually planned to go on a hike there. Spontaneously, we however decided that we would rather end our hiking holiday in Sweden by a hike in the high mountains on the border with Norway instead. And so we drove from the trailhead at the Höga Kusten, straight through Sweden back to the mountains and hiked the Jämtlandstriangeln: perhaps the most beautiful short multi day hike in Sweden! With a total length of 46 kilometers, the Jämtlandstriangeln is a relatively…

    Drottningleden in Hemavan: an amazing day hike in Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve

    Are you looking for a nice day hike in the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve in Sweden? Then the Drottningleden is an excellent option. This 8 kilometer long walk between Hemavan and Laisaliden is also known as the little sister of the famous Kungsleden (King’s Trail) as “drottning” means queen in Swedish. Fun fact: the Drottningleden was opened in 2002 by Queen Silvia of Sweden. Because the section at Laisaliden is very steep, a series of stairs were constructed especially for her so that she did not have to climb. The Drottningleden is a relatively easy mountain hike between the village of Hemavan and the abandoned lodge at Laisaliden. You are walking…
