Lapland is synonymous with untouched nature, reindeer, the midnight sun, and the Northern Lights. From the Arctic Circle to the North Cape, from the Russian border through Finland, Sweden, and Norway to the Lofoten Islands: this last remaining wilderness of Europe is a true adventure in every season.

The landscape is fascinating, with its vast plains and clear lakes, clean air, rugged mountains, and untouched forests, home to a relatively intact flora and fauna. This region, close to the polar regions and warmed by the Gulf Stream, forms a natural unity rarely found elsewhere in Europe. Those seeking solitude are in excellent hands here.

Follow the authors to the picturesque Lofoten Islands, spend the night in an ice hotel near Kolari, hike through the Finnish forests near Kuusamo, and learn about Sami traditions. Enjoy Swedish meatballs, Norwegian salmon, and Finnish reindeer with berry sauce. Be captivated by the vast plains, clear lakes, rugged mountains, and pristine forests of Lapland, and visit the North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe.

Anyone who wants to explore northern Scandinavia independently will find precise travel information for Norway, Sweden, and Finland in this travel guide. 17 detailed route suggestions through Lapland and alphabetical descriptions of all important places, arranged by country, facilitate efficient travel planning north of the Arctic Circle. 44 city maps and maps, a comprehensive index, a mini-phrasebook, and numerous cross-references throughout the book ensure quick orientation.
