 Welcome to the Kungslede, also known as the King's Trail, Sweden's longest hiking trail spanning an impressive 440 kilometers from Hemavan to Abisko. This scenic route is a beloved long-distance trail across Europe. In this vlogging series we invite you to join us on our journey off the section from Frikjok to Saltelukta. As we venture above the Arctic Circle for the first time we're stepping into a whole new world. One filled with vast landscapes, majestic reindeer and the mesmerizing northern lights. Let's discover the magic of the Kungslede together. Good morning from the Kungslede day one. Yeah, we're right now in Sweden, we are starting in Frikjok. It's early September and we can already see the fall colors and it's beautiful here so we're really excited. We are very lucky with the weather, we brought all our gear and we're gonna show you this beautiful trip. On this first day we are hiking from the STF station at Frikjok towards our first campsite in Porten, which is a 16 kilometer stretch. But first things first, we are weighing our backpacks on the famous scale at the Frikjok station. 12. 12. Nice. Nice. 15. Not bad. Five days of food as well, let's go. As we are moving through the lush green forest of Sweden, we see the majestic beauty of the Kungslede trail stretching out before us. Towering trees, crystal clear lakes and sprawling meadows form the backdrop of this breathtaking landscape. As we venture further into the heart of the forest, leaving the rugged terrain of Frikjok behind us, we are greeted by a wealth of natural wonders at every turn along the trail, the gentle sound of running streams, the sub-rossell of leaves and the distant call of wildlife all serve as a constant reminder of the raw power and beauty of nature. This is truly a place where the human spirit is free to explore and discover the hidden wonders of the natural world. As the sun descended below the horizon, painting the sky with fire reuse, we found ourselves in awe of the breathtaking spectacle before us. The shimmering lake below mirrored the heavens above, as if the two were one and the same, a blaze in a dance of orange and red. We retreated to the fjallstugavborten, seeking refuge in its warm embrace. The rustic cabin with its crackling fireplace and snug atmosphere offered the claims into the heart of simple Swedish living. As we allowed the dreamlike landscapes to seep into our consciousness, we prepared a nourishing meal. The gentle hum of the stove and the soft flicker of the fire provided a soothing soundtrack. That was the first day. It was an amazing day. We started in Frikjok and now we are in Parten and well, no words needed for this camp site. Absolutely amazing. If you open up our tent, we have a view on like a lake and mountains and it's absolutely amazing. Finally, as we settled in for the night, we let the serene surroundings lull us into a deep slumber, content in the knowledge that we were in the midst of a truly magnificent adventure.
