Välkommen! Welcome to Lapland on the 'Kungsleden' - the King's Trail! The famous Kungsleden Trail leads over 450 kilometers through Lapland's pristine nature. The Scandinavian wilderness is sure to delight any fan of multi-day hikes. The Rother hiking guide 'Kungsleden' describes both the famous King's Trail from Hemavan to Abisko and the pilgrimage route 'Dag Hammarskjöldsleden' from Abisko to Nikkaluokta. It's not without reason that the Kungsleden in Sweden is considered one of the most beautiful trekking tours in Europe. It leads through ancient forests, over fells with fantastic views, along clear streams and lakes. It goes through deep alpine valleys and past the glacier-covered massifs of Sarek National Park and Sweden's highest mountain, Kebnekaise. Each of the 29 stages of the Kungsleden and the 7 stages of the Dag Hammarskjöldsleden is presented with reliable route descriptions, elevation profiles, and map extracts with marked routes. Verified GPS tracks are available for download. A wealth of information prepares you in detail for this long-distance hiking adventure in northern Sweden. The authors, who are excellent experts on Sweden and Lapland, also offer many personal recommendations for preparation. Plenty of information on interesting facts along the trail and on the region and its people complete this richly illustrated hiking guide.
