 Previously on the Kongsleden, we got our first glimpse of the natural beauty of Sweden as we set foot on the first steps of our Kongsleden adventure. The dense forests and the shimmering lakes that we hiked through were absolutely breathtaking and the silence was unlike anything we had ever experienced before. There were no signs of civilization to be found, only the rustling of leaves and the soft sounds of our footsteps on the trail. As the sun began to set, we arrived at our campsite and settled in for the night with a hot cup of tea.
