We had spent a few nice days in Östersund before it was time to move on. It had been especially nice not to drive so much for a few days. We had now set our eyes on Vemdalen, a popular ski destination. Our drive across the Stekenjokk plateau had given […]
We are back in Vagnhärad for a few days. The large amount of snow that fell a few weeks ago has started to disappear, but there is still plenty left on the fields. The white landscape is, however, not covered by the fine snow from earlier. As the snow melts, […]
After a few short one-night-stops on our way south, it was time for some rest and relaxation in Östersund. We had left Swedish Lapland when we arrived in Gäddede and the province of Jämtland was ahead of us. However, the exploration had to be adapted to the weather forecasts, which […]
Our second day along the Swedish Wilderness Road took us from Klimpfjäll to Gäddede. This is the section that passes by the highest paved road in Sweden at the mountain pass at Stekenjokk. The views from this day are some of the most memorable from our whole road trip and […]
It can sometimes be hard to imagine how far north we actually went during our road trip last summer. We turned back south in Jokkmokk and woke up in Vilhelmina after two days driving south. We were still far from home and were about to embark on new adventures. The […]
Our northern road trip through Sweden in the summer of 2020 had already given us some great memories. However, we were far from satisfied. So, we continued driving on to new adventures and one was just about to start. It was time to head to Vilhelmina and our starting point […]
After driving north for a week it felt weird that we were now once more heading south. After four stops so far, in Sundsvall, Örnsköldsvik, Skellefteå, and Vuollerim, we had reached the turning point in Jokkmokk. It would take us days before we left the vast province of Swedish Lapland […]
Our road trip had lasted for around a week already once we left Skellefteå and continued north. Skellefteå had been our third stop after Sundsvall and Örnsköldsvik, but where to go next? We had for a long time thought that Gällivare would be the turning point of our trip. In […]
Our road trip in northern Sweden started with stops in Sundsvall and Örnsköldsvik. These towns, however, are nowhere near the northernmost parts of Sweden. In other words, we were still heading north. We had decided the night before to continue to the town of Skellefteå, but had decided to make […]
A late decision at the end of our two-night stay in Sundsvall made Örnsköldsvik our second destination during our northern road trip. With short notice, we were able to get a camping cabin for two nights in Överhörnäs, a short distance south of the town. However, before getting to our […]
It took us a few months to make up our minds where to go on vacation for the summer of 2020. The pandemic really made it hard to make any plans well in advance. Our planning had several options and the route for our road trip had not yet been […]
Because of the corona pandemic we were early this summer forced to consider spending summer at home. As several countries had strict travel restrictions, especially towards people from Sweden, we decided to stay within our country’s borders. As travel recommendations within Sweden were made less restrictive early in the summer, […]
