Stuga hopping along the Höga Kusten, Sweden
I have hiked in summer in basically all the provinces of Sweden, not having any problems finding accommodation. Thanks to the Allmansrättan, giving anyone the right to enjoy outdoor activities respectful of the environment, including camping on any land (but for a few exceptions), I have pitched my tent along hiking trails many times, occasionally staying at a local bed & breakfast, or stuga (a small wooden cabin). Keep hiking!
The Swedish stuga sauna
Hiking the High coast trail, we have experienced many different comfort levels and heating devices in the stugas we stayed at.
Last night, after a hike up through the wet forest in the Höga Kusten, we arrived at a small stuga. Happy to see a small wooden cottage in the distance and eager to discover what surprises it would hold, we sped up in our soaking hiking boots and opened its door… Keep hiking!
My first stuga experience, High Coast trail, Sweden
The season starts only in mid-May in Sweden, and finding a place to sleep in the deserted villages of rural Sweden is merely impossible. Last night, this led to my first experience with the Swedish Allemansrätten: Keep hiking!
