…just till over there!: Trekking round the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland

About this ebook
The park is still bearing the impress of being exactly that. Those, who arrive here making the claim to satisfy their craving for recognition by „conquering the wilderness“ are truly out of place – the routes are not more difficult than elsewhere. But who wants to wander through the Sarek because of the marvelous landscape will get his money‘s worth.
2012: in the year of the divined doomsday a 3-head-strong crew (father, son and friend of the family) embarks on a trekking tour into the wild beauty of the arctic nature – before it is too late. The destination is the Sarek Nationalpark in Swedish Lapland.
The journalized recordings of the 20-days-tour are shot through with quotes from the works of Knut Hamsun and Carl von Linné as well as with interesting background information about the country and its people.
Finally the trekking newcomer gets to know some useful tips , which may be helpful for a positive experience an outdoor stay of this type can give.
The recordings were made from the point of view of one of the protagonists and are no guide book for hiking, but want to put across the reader an amusing impression of the more or less happy events.
Included now: stage statistics.
Klaus Heyne
Klaus Heyne ist 1959 in der Revierstadt Bottrop geboren und dort aufgewachsen. Während des Studiums an der Ruhr-Universität siedelte er nach Bochum und lebt seit Mitte der 80er Jahre dort. Im Herbst 1982 Jahre hatte er den ersten Kontakt zum nördlichen Europa in Form eines Hüttenurlaubs am Nordfjord in Mittelnorwegen. Trotz permanent regnerischer Witterung waren die Eindrücke dieser Reise prägend. Es folgten verschiedene Trekkingtouren in Jotunheimen und nördlich des Polarkreises in Lappland (Kungsleden, Padjelantaleden, Grenzpfad von Troms, Sarek) immer mit dem Ziel, sich frei in der Natur zu bewegen und die zivilisatorischen Zwänge zurückzulassen. "Back to the roots" - die Weite und Freiheit erleben und zu den Urbedürfnissen zurückzufinden ist ein wiederkehrender Aspekt auf seinen Wanderungen. Die Faszination, die von den Landschaften der nördlichen Hemisphäre ausgeht, lässt sich nicht wirklich allein mit Worten beschreiben. Genau wie das Phänomen der Mitternachtssonne muss man diese Faszination selbst erfahren haben.
