Abisko National Park

This is actually more than five stars. You should go there in summer. Otherwise there is only snow to see. In summer it's such a paradise. If you're living in Sweden add this to your bucket list. The road view is fantastic and extremely beautiful. I give five Stars to Abisko waterfall too. Here I have attached some photos for you. You have to take a hike there. Be ready for it. If I saw something ugly, it was big annoying mosquitos all around me asking me to feed them. If I didn't hold tight, sure they take me with them 🤣.

We didn't know about this place and stopped here by an accident – we saw a river with a mighty stream. We took a walk along the canyon and discovered the trails, and another waterfall. The place is very picturesque on a sunny day, the water is cristal blue and we were lucky to see it in its full.

Here is some information about Abisko National Park: ​Location: Abisko National Park is located in the Swedish province of Lapland, within Kiruna Municipality, about 195 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is situated near the border with Norway, on the shores of Lake Torneträsk. ​Landscape: The park features a stunning alpine landscape with a valley surrounded by the Abisko Alps. The Abiskojåkka river flows through the valley and a dramatic canyon. The area is characterized by birch forests, alpine meadows, and permafrost terrain. ​Key Attractions and Activities: ​Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis): Abisko is considered one of the best places in the world to view the Northern Lights due to its unique microclimate, which often results in clear skies. The Aurora Sky Station, accessible by a chairlift on Mount Nuolja, provides an excellent vantage point. ​Midnight Sun: Being well within the Arctic Circle, the park experiences the Midnight Sun during the summer months, a period of continuous daylight. ​Hiking: The park is the starting point (or end point) for the famous Kungsleden (The King's Trail), a 440-kilometer hiking trail that traverses the Scandinavian mountain range. There are also many shorter, well-maintained trails for day hikes. ​Other Activities: Depending on the season, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog-sledding, and ice fishing. ​Wildlife: The park's fauna includes animals such as reindeer and moose. Smaller herbivores like lemmings are also present. Predators that may be found in the area include golden eagles, brown bears, polar foxes, lynx, and wolverines, though sightings are not guaranteed. The park is also known for its rich birdlife.

Great hiking trails along the river but I don’t recommend to hike the King’s trail in the summer. Lots of mosquitoes around the wet area.

Beautiful area for wildlife and walking. Weather very changeable so need sunhat jumper waterproofs and sturdy boots!

Beautiful in winter, there are many winter hikes available, worth a visit, even if you don’t get the chance to see the aurora!

Nice place in Sweden to get some mountain time. Small little town. Great for peace and northern lights. Definitely explore the hiking trails.

Very cool place went to ice fest at Fjellkysten’s guesthouse and went here for a detour before heading north. Cool Sami exhibit delicious burger and climbing in the canyon made for an amazing time.
