Anyone who talks about long-distance hiking in Scandinavia will sooner or later also mention the Kungsleden Trail . After all, the "King's Trail" is one of the most famous trekking trails in Europe. Endless expanses of tundra, high mountain peaks, lakes, and fjords – the nature in the far north is diverse and boasts a fascinating wildlife, including moose and other animals.
And what better way to explore this stunning landscape than on foot? "The Most Beautiful Hiking Trails in Scandinavia" includes not only long-distance trails like the Kungsleden or the Olavsvegen , but also day trips that demonstrate that nature often begins right outside the city gates.

+ Experience real adventures and pure wilderness
+ Detailed presentation of the treks in words and pictures
+ With detailed maps for orientation

Searching for the bear's tracks on the Bear Trail in Finland's Oulanke National Park, circumnavigating the Danish island of Bornholm with ocean views, or marveling at volcanoes and glaciers on Iceland's Lagavegur Trail – hiking in Scandinavia is adventurous and inspiring, challenging and exciting. Above all, every tour in Northern Europe promises a unique nature experience.
In Sweden, it's the forests that stretch seemingly endlessly. Norway prefers a more rugged landscape, with cliffs that drop steeply into shimmering fjords. Finland is known as the 'land of a thousand lakes.' In Iceland, the contrasts of fire and ice are fascinating. And Denmark delights those who prefer flatter trails. That Svalbard and the Faroe Islands are ideal hiking destinations becomes clear, at least after circumnavigating Mykineshólmur.

This book features internationally renowned long-distance hiking trails, as well as short day trips, adventurous trekking trails, and historic trade and pilgrimage routes. Special texts are dedicated to specific highlights along the route.

The most important information for each tour is clearly presented; directions and maps help with orientation.

So all you have to do is decide which country in the nature-rich north you want to take your hiking boots to first.
