Nice, very nice :)
amazing ... ;) I am totally jealous! :P I have to persuade Stefan to go there! Best!
Thank you for posting those pictures of the Kungsleden trail. I am writing from Hawai'i and have a friend from Sweden who invited me to join her on this trail, so I started doing some research and found your site. Did you do the whole trail or just sections? I read somewhere that a portion of the trail is not too well maintained and difficult to pass. I was wondering if you found that to be true?
Anyway, it looks pretty cold in some of your pictures but the landscape is very beautiful.
Wow, so many memories, I´m from mexico, i just did a similar trail last summer and so many images of yours come back to my head in my own version, thank so much for posting them. I wish you more and just as good or better trips. Gracias otra vez.
Great pictures! Thanks for posting them! I did the same section several years back and just recently put my own memories out into the blogosphere. It was an unforgettable journey. I strongly recommend this hike to any outdoor enthusiast.
