VILDMARKSVÄGEN: A STUNNING roadtrip on Swedens famous WILDERNESS ROAD // EPS 18

A 500 kilometer road-trip straight to the heart of the Swedish wilderness: Join the journey to the Vildmarksvägen. The Wilderness Road will take you to beautiful waterfalls, to lakes mirroring the sky and to Sami dwellings. Enjoy the wildlife of this northern part of Jämtland and Lapland.


The journey kicked off in the town Vilhelmina - the Vildmarksvägen starts here and is a 500 kilometer round trip to the town Strömsund.
We turned off to Saxnäs and the first one and a half hours we enjoyed the sun rising above beautiful lakes along the roadside. The first big stop was at the waterfall Trappstegsforsen - which is called the most beautiful waterfall of Sweden!
Would we do the journey on Vildmarksvägen again, we would have a clear winner for staying the night at: At the sami dwelling Fatmomakke. I finally got to taste ripe cloudberries and the best waffles in the cafe of Fatmomakke before exploring it's old Kyrkstad with typical Sami huts along lake Kultsjön close to the mountain Marsfjällen.
After Fatmomakke we were getting closer to the highlight of Vildmarksvägen: The mountain plateau Stekenjokk and the highest paved road of Sweden!
If you dare you afterwards can go for a swim in the waterfall Brakkåfallet or enjoy the view on famous Hällingsåfallet (which we unfortunatley missed because I was dreaming on my motorcycle while driving along endless lakes that were mirroring the clouds).
Enjoy your trip on Vildmarksvägen - and let me know if you liked the journey!
