Share icon Share Modal close ADVERTISEMENT I’ve spent the past few summers driving and hiking around Härjedalen and Jämtland, the southern part of the Swedish mountain range (fjällen). Perhaps lesser known than Lappland, it is full of wild nature, mountain peaks, waterfalls, wild orchids, reindeer – and solitude. I have been travelling up and down these counties, breathing the free air, doing day hikes and taking pictures. All of the following places are accessible by day hike from a car road, yet I was alone at every place. Some days I’ve walked for hours without meeting another person, and mostly had the road to myself as well. Most visitors come for winter skiing, but I say summer is the best time for visiting Härjedalen and Jämtland.HelagsShare iconLunndörrenShare iconSonfjälletShare iconADVERTISEMENTWild orchid at Fallmoran shieling (fäbod)Share iconADVERTISEMENTSonfjället above the cloudsShare iconHelagsShare iconLappspira (Pedicularis lapponica) at HamrafjälletShare iconADVERTISEMENTReindeer calf at the top of HamrafjälletShare iconRhodiola rosea (arctic root, rosenrot) at the foot of HelagsShare iconFlatruet: stone age rock paintings, about 4000-6000 years oldShare iconADVERTISEMENTReindeer on the road to FunäsdalenShare iconDjävulshålet (devil’s hole) near Ljungdalen and TossåsenShare iconADVERTISEMENTHelagsShare iconFettjeåfallet, between Vemdalen and KlövsjöShare iconAbove LillråndafalletShare iconView from Skorvdalsfjället, Vemdalen (Sonfjället at the horizon to the right)Share iconADVERTISEMENTKvarnbäcksfallet, LjungdalenShare iconReindeer on the path to HelagsShare iconWild orchid at the foot of HamrafjälletShare iconHalf of Fettjeåfallet, between Vemdalen and KlövsjöShare icon Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
