A 450-kilometer-long hiking trail through northern Sweden.
Reviewed By iporze - Indiana, United States
I started on my solo hike in Abisko and branched off to Vistas from Alesjaure and then hooked back into the Kundsleden trail at Salka via Nallo, and then onto Singi and Kebnekaise mountain station. The trail was simply amazing, and the folk one meets along the way was very diverse. The after dinner hut discussions were funny as was the broad range of topics discussed. From Kebnekaise I returned to Singi and hiked over in Norway via Hukejaure hut which was closed when I got there. I had obtained a hut key for the norwegian huts and I did a circular route back to abisko via Gautelis, Unna Allakas back to Alesjaure and Abisko. An amazing series of trails that really lets one experience safe hiking above the arctic circle. The simple pleasure of just drinking from the streams without concern was a great as well. Instead of flying back to Stockholm I booked a private sleeper and enjoyed a great train trip thru Sweden as well, great way to end the trip.

It is a small open air museum. We were there during the Samisk veckan (the sami week) in march and they had activities and real reindeer on the premises :) Thanks to a recent snowfall and perfect blue sky it was a great day to visit the museum. The museum building also houses some interesting collections and exhibitions about the region.

I use to visit this amazing forest at least three times a year. It’s as beautiful in the spring as in the fall. You can se all kinds of trees from all over the world, bring a picnic and sit down by the river and enjoy the full nature. It’s also possible to go to the restaurant and eat an amazing dinner or just take a coffee. This is one of my favorite places to go both alone, with my family and friends, don’t miss out on this beautiful place!

Bildmuseet exhibits contemporary international art, photography, architecture, design and other forms of visual culture, somtimes along with art history retrospectives. The exhibitions are complemented by guided tours, lectures, films and other cultural events. Open workshops and educational activities inspire creativity. Museum shop, cafe/restaurant and great views over Umeaalven river and the city of Umea. Bildmuseet is housed in an acclaimed building at the Umeå Arts Campus by the shores of the river, right next to the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts, the Umeå Institute of Design and the Umeå School of Architecture. The museum building was designed by Henning Larsen Architects in collaboration with White. Bildmuseet received a Special Commendation from the European Museum of the Year jury, and was 2014 one of the top candidates for the Swedish Museum of the Year Award as well as for the Council of Europe Museum Prize.

I loved the light and the space at this museum plus it’s location next to the river, amazing views. Staff were really, really lovely and helpful. I will visit again.
