The part of Vildmarksvägen over The Wilderness Road – doesn’t that sound tempting. A
road through the wilderness from Strömsund in Jämtland
Stekenjokk is open from early over the mountains to Vilhelmina in Lappland, and then
June till mid of October.
back to Strömsund via Dorotea and Hoting. The road pas-
ses through several places with exotic names like Gädde-
de, Stekenjokk, Klimpfjäll and Saxnäs.
The road goes through Lappland’s cultural districts, through alpine
forests and above the tree line – and the wilderness is just a hop, skip
and jump away. So the concept of “hiking by car” is very real. When
you get out of your car, you are in the wilderness...
Above the tree line are vast mountain heaths and accessible peaks.
The air is clear, the silence is deafening and the water is refreshing
and, of course, drinkable. Out with the mug!
Whether you head out on a multi-day hike with a tent or take a short
car trip, the Wilderness Road is the best way to get up above the tree
line.

Through the kingdom of bears
Whether you start from Strömsund or
Vilhelmina, you pass through forest and
historic Sami mountain communities
before you reach the bare mountainside.
A good place to start is at Ströms hembygds-
gård in Strömsund, an open-air museum with
a picturesque central location on the shore of
Ströms Vattudal. The museum showcases the
region’s history with some 30 historic buildings
featuring exhibits and environments from days
gone by.
Beloved storyteller, poet and actor Beppe

anywhere else in the world. The bears are shy, but with a bit of luck you

Vattudalen (the Man from Vattudalen). Wolgers
came to be strongly associated with Strömsund
– largely thanks to his animated film Dunder-
klumpen about Jorm the Giant, and his poems
about the Vattudalen region, but also through art,
music, theatre and television productions.
From there, drive north through the region with
the most brown bears in the whole world, and
pass the Hällingsåfallet waterfall.
Although really, ‘pass’ is the wrong word. Of
course you’ll stop at the 43-metre-high waterfall
crashing down into an 800-metre-long waterfilled
canyon. On a sunny day, you’ll see anywhere
from three to six rainbows in the water spray. Jorm the Giant from the children’s film Dunderklumpen welcomes
To really get a good feel for the canyon, it’s best you to Ströms hembygdsgård. This local history museum has a play-

Hällingsån Canyon upstream.
Frostviken Keramik, a few kilometres away, is a
must-see with its gorgeous hand-made ceramics
and summer café.
Gäddede Turistinformation has a lovely indoor
exhibition on the history and unique countryside
of Frostviken. The tourist office is surrounded by
Fjällparken, where signs guide you around the
mountain flora.

Past Ankarvattnet the road climbs fur-
ther up toward Stekenjokk Plateau. The
road over to Klimpfjäll usually opens in
early June. Snowdrifts can sometimes
be as high as 7 meters. That’s when
the Road Administration’s huge snow
blowers face their toughest job.
Located in Klimpfjäll is the historic Norgefa-
rargården. It was formerly a way station for
the mountain farmers’ trading trips to Norway. Photo: Emma Sandström
Norgefararleden Trail also starts here, which
used to be a winter road for horse-drawn Stalo Adventures Rents touring bikes with pack bags for long

kotas, 20 timber church cottages and a church
from 1884.
An attraction of cultural interest is the dazzling

Dorotea/Kraapohke
The Southern

Don´t miss in Dorotea
Visiting our local shops, with handicrafts,
clothes, flowers and more.
Take the time for a good meal or snack,
stroll around Lake Bergvattensjön or visit our
Husvagnsmuséum, Sweden’s – and perhaps
the world’s – only caravan museum, open all
summer.
Dorotea’s Sami name is Kraapohke, which
means ‘squeezed-in lake’. Dorotea is a Sami
administration area and its public library has a
section with exhibits of Sami art, jewellery and
much more. This picture was taken at Borgagården,
Borgafjäll by Joakim Engwall.
Dorotea feels like home
When you arrive at the Southern Gate of
Lapland, you enter the northern commu-
nity of Dorotea. One hundred kilometres
from Dorotea, where the road comes to
an end, is Borgafjäll, which attracts many
visitors from near and far.
But don’t let the compact size of Dorotea
deceive you – the town has heaps of activities,
adventures and destinations. Go on a foot tour

statues by the beloved sculptor Carl Milles.

The Municipality of Dorotea has several
villages, and each one is completely unique.
Some are at the foot of the mountain, while
others are deep in the forest, secluded and
enchanting. The villages have heritage areas,
cultural spaces, great fishing sites and
excellent walking trails. Some have restaurants,
shops and several great places for excursions.
