The STF (Svenska Turistföreningen) runs a series of mountain huts (fjällstuga) along the Kungsleden trail. The huts are only open until the 20th of September but they all have an ’emergency hut’ which stay open year round which one is able to stay in. Leaving Abisko and heading south, the first hut is Abiskojaure.
Fire warms the kitchen in Abiskojaure hut.

Gamla Stan (old town), Stockholm. Cobble stone streets, narrow winding alleyways, brightly colored buildings, tourists, and street cafes; the old town of Stockholm fits the ideal of a classic European city and is a wonderful place to wander around, day or night.
Typical weather during my 10 days on the Kungsleden trail. View from near Tjaektja hut, looking north up the Alisvaggi towards Alesjaure.
The landscape is totally amazing and beautiful, despite the weather. Barren rugged mountains with rivers and waterfalls everywhere. Most of the northern section of the trail is above the tree line.
(working on some small netbook, so not too sure about the color. Hope its not too bad.)
