Planning From: Magdeburg To: Kiruna I started hiking again in 2006, doing some trails through the Harz mountains with stays in hotels or pensions. But all the time I knew I would want to go on a real hike, backpacking. I did read a lot about possible trails and finally decided the northern part of Kungsleden would be my comeback to backpacking. It is an ideal goal for a new hiker: there are evenly spaced huts all over the trail, where you can buy supples or find shelter from bad weather, if needed. There are always other hikers around to help or go and tell someone in the next hut, should something happen to me on the way. It is rather easy terrain, no steep climbs nor dangerous wildlife and then, of course, the overwhelmingly beautiful nature of the fjell. I went in September, to see the autumn colors and also bypass the midges :) I didn't had too many days, so I booked a flight from Berlin to Stockholm and from Stockholm to Kiruna. I started with a train ride
