Destination Jokkmokk - Wild, Cultured and Beautiful
A jouney through the nature of Jokkmokk, the Laponia World Heritage municipality. Fly Fishing, cooking trout over open fire. Beautiful scenery of Arctic Lights and Midnight Sun.
Sweden Jokkmokk
We're strolling around to find a slope or a hilltop my brother & I, with no defined goal. In the end, somehow, we hopefully ended up at the top of Peak Getberget.
Location: Jokkmokk, just by the Arctic Circle in the heart of the Sami people's land. Southern Laponia's landmass continue as the country of Sweden, populated by Swedes, a Germanic tribe: 'Svear' the people who gave Sweden its name Sverige (Svea Rike), meaning “kingdom of Svea”.
More info about the Sami people:
*Beware; this VDO is just over three hours long, consisting of a lot walking around in the snow with a constant surrounding forest and pretty much nothing out of the ordinary, though this scenery is always alluring in real life. I guess you would say that this is arctic cold temperatures at the moment. Missing from this picture is sufficient local knowledge of the surrounding area by the participants.

We headed up to Umea from Stockholm and just hung out for a bit but made time to rent a car and drive up to the little arctic city of Jokkmokk, just above the arctic circle in Swedish Lapland. The weather was a bit rainy but we had cozy accommodation in the Asgard Hostel in town. This part of Sweden has several national parks, is famous for hiking and trekking, and is hope to the Sami people who are semi nomadic reindeer herders. There are several great museums and visitor centers to explore but the real draw is the natural beauty of the area. Forests carpeted with blueberry bushes ready to be gathered; glacially carved lakes still as mirrors, and mountains beckoning the eager adventures. And the occasional fika, of course. Berries can be gathered by anyone and consumed on the fly, which we did with gusto. We started off our visit with a day trip to Stora Sjöfallet national park. In addition to a wonderful, modern visitor center, the nature here is incredible. After our hike, we even glimpsed a giant reindeer bull with massive antlers (massive to us anyway). On day 2, the weather did not cooperate but we spent several hours at the Attje Museum in Jokkmokk where we learned about the Sami Culture from history to contemporary times. It was really fascinating.
We headed back south on our third day (more rain) and stopped to pick up our official arctic circle certificate where we met a gregarious shop owner full of personality then on to Storforsen which is the longest cascade in Sweden and stunning. I hadn't seen anything like it, not so much the rushing water but the surrounding rock formations with mini canyons and water running everywhere.
