KUNGSLEDEN: A Journey Through Northern Sweden
This documentary tells the story of hiking Kungsleden, of the beautiful untouched Swedish nature, of the long days of hiking and wildcamping and of the interesting people I met along the way.

This film takes you along my hike in August 2020 and my experiences and encounters along the Kungsleden trail. Thank you to all the people that made this possible, especially Klaus, Zina, Marcus, Tomas & Paniz and Per who I interviewed for this documentary. I hope you enjoy this documentary film as much as I enjoyed my hike and producing this film.

Thank you to the STF for providing some comfort like showers, warm fireplaces and holding my parcels along the way, and making the Kungsleden so much more accessible. Thank you to the Swedish provinces for maintaining the trail and making this last European wilderness accessible in a sustainable way.

And a great thank you to REAL Turmat, Osprey Europe, Hanwag, Pinewood, Darn Tough and many other for supporting me in making this documentary.
