Fredrik Neregård : Kungsleden - Best hiking in Sweden

The northern part of the Kungsleden trail is the ideal introduction to the Swedish mountains. Here you hike through impressive valleys surrounded by towering mountains, among wich Swedens highest peak Kebnekaise is the most obvious temptation. The altitude differences are relatively small and you can enjoy the dramatic landscape while never being very far from comfortable accommodation. The book explains the Swedish system of cabins and mountain stations, what you should consider when preparing and how to get there.
