VILDMARKSVÄGEN: A STUNNING roadtrip on Swedens famous WILDERNESS ROAD // EPS 18

VILDMARKSVÄGEN: A STUNNING roadtrip on Swedens famous WILDERNESS ROAD // EPS 18

A 500 kilometer road-trip straight to the heart of the Swedish wilderness: Join the journey to the Vildmarksvägen. The Wilderness Road will take you to beautiful waterfalls, to lakes mirroring the sky and to Sami dwellings. Enjoy the wildlife of this northern part of Jämtland and Lapland.

The journey kicked off in the town Vilhelmina – the Vildmarksvägen starts here and is a 500 kilometer round trip to the town Strömsund.
We turned off to Saxnäs and the first one and a half hours we enjoyed the sun rising above beautiful lakes along the roadside. The first big stop was at the waterfall Trappstegsforsen – which is called the most beautiful waterfall of Sweden!
Would we do the journey on Vildmarksvägen again, we would have a clear winner for staying the night at: At the sami dwelling Fatmomakke. I finally got to taste ripe cloudberries and the best waffles in the cafe of Fatmomakke before exploring it’s old Kyrkstad with typical Sami huts along lake Kultsjön close to the mountain Marsfjällen.
After Fatmomakke we were getting closer to the highlight of Vildmarksvägen: The mountain plateau Stekenjokk and the highest paved road of Sweden!
If you dare you afterwards can go for a swim in the waterfall Brakkåfallet or enjoy the view on famous Hällingsåfallet (which we unfortunatley missed because I was dreaming on my motorcycle while driving along endless lakes that were mirroring the clouds).
Enjoy your trip on Vildmarksvägen – and let me know if you liked the journey!

    Bin ich auch gefahren aber von strömsund aus ….ganz grosse Klasse die strasse …

  2. @jonaslindmark6174 on September 6, 2024 at 4:05 pm

    And you missed the sweet fiskonfallet between Saxnäs and Klimpfjäll. 😊

  3. @juhanivuorinen6981 on September 6, 2024 at 4:07 pm

    Yes, you missed Gaustafallet and Hällingsåfallet!

  4. @123marlo on September 6, 2024 at 4:09 pm

    Loved your video as I am a fisherman from Scotland and I would love to visit Sweden and Norway and have been thinking about it for some time but not with motorbike I drive a gtd golf estate and we do camping ⛺️ but again I loved your trip and your speaking English 👍🙏🎣🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    This is a most beautiful depiction of our inland, thank you for getting this out there! I went this trip the other way around in the summer of -19 and just knew I had to go again, I’ve been to Stekenjokk many times before but never on bike. Unfortunately last summer was a all-time record of tourists in the area and I felt no need to burden the road even more. This summer I will try again. Last time I went from Örnsköldsvik by the coast, by Junsele, Strömsund, Gäddede, in through Norway and the most amazing view from those small gravel roads over the mountains. Out to Blåsjön in Sweden again, over Stekenjokk and a short stop at a friends cabin just off Trappstegsforsen where you stopped. Further on through Vilhelmina, Åsele and back to the coast again after about 23 hours on the road. I so desperately want the season to begin now. Ride safe and please do come by ÖMCC if you ever pass by Örnsköldsvik.

    Eine wunderbare Strecke, die ich von 2008 -2013 jedes Jahr fuhr. Auch anders herum von Stromsund über Gäddede, Stekkenjokk, Vilhelmina. Danke für Dein Video und hab immer eine gute Fahrt.
    Lieben Gruß, Gerd

    This is so insanely beautiful, I love it! Thank you for this, for I will probably mever experience this myself.

  8. @popeye77ish on September 6, 2024 at 4:14 pm

    I am so happy I found your channel. Every episode is so very amazing. Sweden seems to be as scenic as Norway. It’s good too you have had such good weather for the past few episodes. Just amazing scenery .

  9. @realnatureadventures on September 6, 2024 at 4:14 pm

    Amazing video and nature, great work😊😊

  10. @wnicklas on September 6, 2024 at 4:16 pm

    I rode this road in last summer (-20) and it’s absolutely amazing. Had to take it twice 🤭
    If anyone reading this, planning to ride this road, at "Blåsjön" you can find a small road over to Norway, there is a great camping site and you can ride the "old gravel road" over the mountains with lovely views as a short sunset trip. It’s absolutely astonishing nature.
    Gäddede, after Vildmarksvägen also have a gorgeous camp site next to the sea with "våfflor & hjortron". ❤️

    Thank you for sharing this video. So nice work you’ve done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    And your Swedish is almost better then lots of Swedish people 😊
    Looking forward for next week

    always wonderful a big thumbs up perfect !!!!!!!!!

  13. @rashdalhumali265 on September 6, 2024 at 4:22 pm

    Good👍🏻

  14. @jarituohimaa9825 on September 6, 2024 at 4:23 pm

    We rode this road today, but you missed the Hällingsåfallet ☺️

  15. @theapplepapple9420 on September 6, 2024 at 4:23 pm

    God’s amazing creation!

  16. @evalinder9211 on September 6, 2024 at 4:24 pm

    So beatiful it´s breathtaking

  17. @ecoinnovationse on September 6, 2024 at 4:25 pm

    Nice little movie. For those that want to follow suit I hihgly recommend setting your priorities to include Hällingsåfallet, even in a one-day trip. The sights actually merit 2 or 3 days to include the longest cave in Sweden Korallgrottan, and the spectacular river Bjurälven as well as the arts museum in Saxnäs.

  18. @jeriksson7686 on September 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm

    Spent a couple of days on Vildmarksvägen and realised that we could easily spent a week up there probably two. It is absolutely amazing

  19. @jonaslindmark6174 on September 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm

    But you missed the number 1 waterfall at this area: Hälsingåfallet ourside Gäddede. It is 40 m high and down into a canyon! Its a must see place!

  20. @Pgranlund on September 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm

    Waffles and cloudberry jam! Mmmm. Even vanilla ice cream and hot cloudberry jam are very good.

  21. @CrystalClearNM on September 6, 2024 at 4:27 pm

    just curious, are drones not allowed at your location when you’re at 5m19s ?

  22. @andrewtlockemanch on September 6, 2024 at 4:28 pm

    At 2:24 a song begins to play. It’s really beautiful. For those interested, it’s called Indiana Rose from the album The Rain Will Come Back by Daniel Gunnarsson and sung by Dinah Smith. Just gorgeous song-writing and a beautiful performance by Ms. Smith.

  23. @syat7135 on September 6, 2024 at 4:29 pm

    Wow so beutiful great amazing all that your enjoy travel motorbike vlog and but your big fan💕

  26. @nesta8273 on September 6, 2024 at 4:33 pm

  35. @angeljulien177 on September 6, 2024 at 4:49 pm

    Vos vidéos sont merveilleuses. J’adore votre façon de filmer et de commenter. Vous m’aider beaucoup dans les préparatifs de notre prochain voyage en Suède. Merci beaucoup pour le partage. Avez vous des rennes sur votre parcours ? Merci à vous

  36. @Lav_amb on September 6, 2024 at 4:49 pm

    It’s such a calming video. The music .. so soothing! And beautiful Sweden!

  37. @tallesttreeintheforest on September 6, 2024 at 4:50 pm

    sweden doesnt have the amount of mountains as norway, but finland doesnt have the amount of mountains as sweden, so it all adds up.

  38. @tommyeriksson8425 on September 6, 2024 at 4:50 pm

    Switserland?? Sweden for the fuckin hell, are you stupid?

  39. @johanmilton3498 on September 6, 2024 at 4:50 pm

    Nice

  40. @iDeagol on September 6, 2024 at 4:52 pm

  41. @stephan4ever64 on September 6, 2024 at 4:52 pm

    Share one waffle! I eat 5 myself. 😋

    wann habt Ihr denn eure Reise begonnen? – Ich will da auch hin, aber durch Covid19 habe ich Probleme mit der ein und durch Reise.

  43. @lennarthelgesson3134 on September 6, 2024 at 4:54 pm

    Ich bin sehr beeindruckt über deine korrekte Aussprache von den schwedischen Ortsnamen. Schön wenn jemand sich die Mühe gibt sich die Landessprache anzupassen. Natürlich ist sj wie in Blåsjön schwierig aber sonst alles eine 1. Werden uns jetzt andere Videos von Dir ansehen.
