Finally the time has come.
The Womo packed and headed north. Via Frankfurt, Kassel in the rain and sleet to Hann.Münden, where we visited the beautiful old town and spent the night on a parking space near the old town.

In search of an LPG filling station (Autogas) we had to make an unscheduled stop in Karlskoga, as the filling stations were only open again on Mondays. The LPG filling stations are very sparsely located in Sweden, therefore: take precautions and inform yourself in good time!!
Overnight in a public parking lot by a snowy frozen lake.

Instead of the planned stop at a campsite in Eg, we drove further north to the campsite in Sollerö, where we had already stopped twice in previous years. Here we stay 2 days and tomorrow maybe go skiing and/or visit Tomte (Santa Claus) in nearby Tomteland where we will send mail/greetings for our grandchildren (as promised).
It's evening and it's starting to snow again.

Planned visit to Santa Claus unfortunately failed, he was now on vacation after the stressful Christmas season.
Round trip around Lake Siljan, which was mostly frozen and on which numerous ice skaters were out and about.
City tour of Mora, where an oversized Dalarna horse is displayed on the edge of the lake. Afterwards visit to the production site of the Dalarna horses, which are all made exclusively by hand, in Nusnäs.
Via the town of Rättvik, where we also made a short stopover, we went back to Sollerö at the campsite.
In the evening it began to rain, resulting in a glassy campsite that had to be walked on with caution.

The onward journey this morning was delayed because of the mirror-smooth, icy square. It went in the direction of Orsa to the Asarna ski center over various snow-covered roads and required prudent action from the driver.
After this technically strenuous day, we arrived safely at our planned destination.
The weather was mixed, sunshine alternated with cloudy skies and rain. Overcast in the evening, with no prospect of the long-awaited Northern Lights. But we don't give up hope.

The further journey along the E 45 led in glorious sunshine to our next destination, the campsite in Storuman, where we were almost alone, apart from a few overnight guests in the huts on the site. There was also a sauna on site that you could use for free.
The starry sky gave hope for more, but unfortunately there was no polar light in sight.
It was an icy night at -14 degrees, but we mastered it without any problems.

Today it didn't want to get light at all in the morning. The sun fought behind the clouds. The weather was dreary, with occasional light snowfall.
On the way we met our first reindeer, which relaxedly crossed the road.
In Arvidsjaur we took a little walk through the town where we also came across a "wooden" moose family.
It was already getting dark at 3:30 p.m. and the day felt a lot shorter.

Our gas supply was running out and since there was no LPG filling station in the area, we drove towards Pitea, where we wanted to fill up the next day.
Overnight stay on a pitch in Lulea, where we spent an interesting evening with other campers in a nearby restaurant.
The next morning we saw many walkers and skaters doing their laps on the frozen lake.
After a hearty breakfast we drove to Pitea to refuel.

On the way to Jokkmokk we passed a sight, the place of origin of today's town of Lulea.
An old settlement, consisting of numerous wooden houses, which the visitors of the Kirchentag used to spend the night and a church as the central point of the place. Very impressive.
Since no parking space could be found in the evening, we stayed in a parking lot near the local church about 40 km before Jokkmokk.

Surprise in the morning: we were snowed in and first had to laboriously shovel our mobile home free again. A clearing vehicle from the municipality also came by and freed us from the snow.
The next stage took us to Jokkmokk.

The Artic Camp was still pretty snowed up and again it was time to clear the site. A clearing vehicle also came by here, but it was too late for us or we were too fast.
We made a short trip into the city to see the closer conditions.
In the village itself, people were already busy making preparations for the upcoming winter market.
We spent the evening comfortably in the mobile home with an outside temperature of -20 degrees.

We walked into town (about 3 km), well packed and informed by our receptionists at the campsite.
Visit to the Swedish Fell and Sami Museum in Jokkmokk, which showed everything about the life of the Sami in great detail and impressively. Delicious midday lunch at the museum.
Visit to an old pharmacy, which was mainly stocked with lots of knitting and handicraft items, and to Jokkmokk Tenn's workshop, where interesting jewelery is made, including "Mitternatsol" - midnight sun pendants, earrings, candlesticks and much more.
We walked back to Arctic Camp, and it was getting dark again.
The northern lights were originally announced for the evening, but were obscured by clouds.

For today we have booked a tour with a guide to a herd of reindeer, and the official opening of the winter market is in the evening.
We're going straight to the city... we're looking forward to an interesting day.
Weather: - 11 degrees, dry, partly cloudy, the sun is fighting.
The encounter with the reindeer was impressive, we were informed, among other things, about the feeding and the difficulties of the reindeer herders, who are also faced with ever greater problems due to climate change.
It was really cold and we were happy to be able to go back into town after an hour, where we attended the opening ceremonies, which were very impressive.
Then we walked back to Arctic Camp (about 3 km) and warmed up in the mobile home.

Today was market day for us. We were lucky enough to be driven to the market by car.
We strolled through the market and enjoyed the great atmosphere, less the icy cold - 18 degrees!
For lunch there was - in the open air - flam salmon, super delicious, and also cold feet.
Buying warm insoles made the cold more bearable.
In the afternoon we went to the nearby lake where a reindeer race was taking place. The cold was even more intense at the lake and we warmed up with a cup of coffee afterwards.
Then we went to numerous Sami exhibitions and boutiques that documented the Sami's craftsmanship.
It was a very interesting and varied day.

After an icy night - minus 25 degrees - our gas supplies ran out. We therefore had to leave early and drove to the next gas filling station in Pitea.
We spent the night, quite idyllically, in a parking lot near a parking space in Jävre, which was equipped with a super clean and cozy warm (free) sanitary facility (open 24 hours). There was a lighthouse in the parking lot, showing the proximity to the Baltic Sea.
After a great sunrise and a good breakfast we drove further south.

The day was very varied in terms of weather, great sunrise in the morning, sometimes a little overcast during the day, beautiful sunset in the evening.
Interesting impressions in between, eg ice crystals in a harbour, a ferry making its way through the partially frozen Baltic Sea....
As there weren't many open campsites/carports, finding one here was a little tricky.
However, we found a campsite for "spontaneous" campers in Solbacken, which was open with confidence.
A delicious dinner in the mobile home rounded off this day in a relaxed manner.

The journey continued towards Sundsvall, where we refueled on gas the next day.
In Sundsvall we happened upon a place to stay at First-Camp. The place was right on the Baltic Sea, was unfortunately totally icy and very difficult to commit. The situation between the road and the railroad was also somewhat unsettled.
In the morning we experienced a sensational sunrise and after a good breakfast the journey continued.
We drove to Östersund and visited the ski stadium, where the 2019 Biathlon World Championships took place.
Then it was on to the large, well-known ski area in Are.

The journey to Are was very time-consuming and finding accommodation was initially quite difficult.
However, we found a campsite just before Are that was "öppet" and checked in briefly.
Then we went to the village, where we took care of lift tickets and looked for a nearby parking lot so that it was already taken care of for the following day of skiing.
Then we went back to the campsite, where we again spent a relaxing evening.
The next morning we went to the valley station of the cable car. The weather was a bit overcast and unfortunately no sun in sight. But there were great descents and not so busy due to the weekday, so there was enough space on the slopes.
In the afternoon we finished our day of skiing and, after everything was in the right place in the mobile home, we drove on towards Trondheim/Norway.

Unscheduled, we continued towards Trondheim/Norway.
We found an RV site in town that we have stayed at in previous years. Here, too, everything was totally frozen.
In the morning we went to the center of Trondheim for "shopping". It was slightly cloudy and had + 5 degrees. After a successful tour we went back to the mobile home and we decided to continue the route south via Norway to Oslo.

By chance we met mobile home owners from Switzerland who gave us a tip for a small parking space in Oppdahl, which we gladly accepted.
We were warmly addressed in German by the owner of Magalaupet Camping. Her mother was German, hence the good language skills. This also made it easier for us to communicate with each other.
After an extremely stormy night, it had snowed in the morning and we put on snow chains as a precaution. The descent from the campsite to the road was quite steep and we didn't want to take any chances.
When we reached the street, the snow chains were packed up again and we continued with icy gusts of wind and snow flurries on snowy, partly icy roads to an altitude of 1,068 m in the direction of Otta to Lillehammer, where blue skies greeted us again.
The search for a place to stay was no problem today and we were happy to be welcomed by a nice host at the family campsite in Granli.
However, the place was quite icy and so we spent the rest of the evening comfortably, with the appropriate comfortable temperature, in the mobile home.

The overnight stay at the family campsite was very pleasant, the sun was shining and after a good breakfast and a warm shower we continued towards Avika.
Sometimes there was no more snow here and sometimes the green meadows were already visible.
We continued towards Karlstad. There we found a nice parking space at Vänern (lake) and went for a stroll into the city.

Karlstad is a beautiful small town. We also visited Park Mariebersskogen which has something outdoors for all ages; Unfortunately, many things were currently not open.
We continued south towards Mariestad, passing the Götekanal. However, there is currently no business here, but the area is beautiful and very interesting.

Strolling into town in the afternoon, we recognized a few places that we had visited years earlier on a summer vacation.

Geplanter Besuch beim Weihnachtsmann leider misslungen, er war nach der stressigen Weihnachtszeit jetzt in Urlaub.
Rundfahrt um den Siljansee, der größtenteils zugefroren war und auf dem zahlreiche Eisläufer/-innen unterwegs waren.
Stadtbesichtigung von Mora, wo ein übergroßes Dalarnapferd am Rande des Sees aufgestellt ist. Anschließend Besichtigung der Produktionsstätte der Dalarnapferdchen, die alle ausschließlich in Handarbeit gefertigt werden, in Nusnäs.
Über die Stadt Rättvik, wo wir auch einen kurzen Zwischenstopp einlegten, ging es zurück nach Sollerö auf dem Campingplatz.
Abends begann es zu regnen, was zu einem spiegelglatten Campingplatz führte der nur noch mit Vorsicht zu begehen war.

Unser Gasvorrat ging zur Neige und da es in der Umgebung keine LPG-Tankstelle gab, fuhren wir Richtung Pitea, wo wir am nächsten Tag tanken wollten.
Übernachtung auf einem Stellplatz in Lulea, wo wir mit weiteren Wohnmobilisten einen interessanten Abend in einem in der Nähe gelegenen Restaurant verbrachten.
Am nächsten Morgen sahen wir viele Spaziergänger und Schlittschuhläufer, die ihre Runden auf dem zugefrorenen See drehten.
Nach einem ausgiebigen Frühstück fuhren wir zum Tanken nach Pitea.
Auf der Weiterfahrt nach Jokkmokk kamen wir an einer Sehenswürdigkeit vorbei, dem Ursprungsort der heutigen Stadt Lulea.
Eine alte Siedlung, bestehend aus zahlreichen Holzhäusern, die die Besucher des Kirchentags zur Übernachtung benutzten sowie eine Kirche als zentraler Mittelpunkt des Ortes. Sehr beeindruckend.
Da kein Stellplatz abends auffindbar war, übernachteten wir auf einen Parkplatz in der Nähe der Ortskirche ca. 40 km vor Jokkmokk.
Überraschung am Morgen: wir waren eingeschneit und mussten zuerst mühevoll unser Wohnmobil wieder freischaufeln. Es kam auch von der Kommune ein Räumfahrzeug vorbei das uns mit vom Schnee befreite.
Die nächste Etappe führte uns nun nach Jokkmokk.

Wir gingen zu Fuß in die Stadt (ca. 3 km), gut eingepackt und informiert von unserer Receptionisten am Campingplatz.
Besuch im Schwedischen Fjäll- und Samenmuseum Jokkmokk, das alles über das Leben der Samen sehr ausführlich und eindrucksvoll zeigte. Leckerer Mittags Dagens Lunch im Museum.
Besuch einer alten Apotheke, die allerdings vor allem mit zahlreichen Strick- und Bastelsachen ausgestattet war sowie zur Werkstatt von Jokkmokk Tenn, wo interessanter Schmuck hergestellt wird, u.a. "Mitternatsol" - Mitternachtssonne als Anhänger, Ohrringe, Kerzenständer und weiteres mehr.
Wir gingen zu Fuß wieder zurück zum Arctic Camp, wobei es schon wieder dunkel wurde.
Am Abend war ursprünglich Polarlichter angekündigt, die allerdings von Wolken verdeckt wurden.
Für heute haben wir eine Führung mit Guide zu einer Rentierherde gebucht, außerdem ist gegen Abend die offizielle Eröffnung des Wintermarktes.
Gleich gehts Richtung Stadt.... wir freuen uns auf einen interessanten Tag.
Wetter: - 11 Grad, trocken, teilweise bewölkt, die Sonne kämpft.
Die Begegnung mit den Rentieren war eindrucksvoll, wir wurden u.a. über die Fütterung und die Schwierigkeiten der Rentierhalter informiert, die auch durch den Klimawandel vor immer größere Probleme gestellt werden.
Es war richtig kalt und wir waren froh, als wir nach einer Stunde wieder in die Stadt konnten, wo wir an den Eröffnungsfeierlichkeiten teilnahmen, die sehr beeindruckend waren.
Danach gingen wir zu Fuß zurück zu Arctic-Camp (ca. 3 km) und wärmten uns im Wohnmobil auf.
Heute war für uns Markttag. Wir hatten das Glück mit dem Auto zum Markt gefahren zu werden.
Wir schlenderten über den Markt und genossen die tolle Atmosphäre, weniger die eisige Kälte, - 18 Grad!
Zu Mittag gabs - im Freien - FlamLachs, superlecker, und auch kalte Füße.
Der Kauf von warmen Einlegesohlen machte die Kälte erträglicher.
Am Nachmittag gingen wir zum naheliegenden See, wo ein Rentierrennen stattfand. Am See war die Kälte noch intensiver und wir wärmten uns im Anschluss in einem Kaffee auf.
Danach gingen wir noch in zahlreiche Sami-Aus-stellungen und Butiken, die die Handwerkskunst der Sami dokumentierten.
Es war ein sehr interessanter und abwechslungsreicher Tag.
Nach eisiger Nacht - minus 25 Grad - ging unser Gasvorrat zur Neige. Wir mussten deshalb frühzeitig weiterfahren und fuhren zur nächsten Gastankstelle in Pitea.
Die Nacht verbrachten wir, ganz idyllisch, auf einem Parkplatz in der Nähe eines Stellplatzes in Jävre, der mit einer super sauberen und kuschelig warmen (gebührenfreien) Sanitäranlage (24 h geöffnet) ausgestattet war. Auf dem Parkplatz stand ein Leuchtturm, der die Nähe zur Ostsee aufzeigte.
Nach einem tollen Sonnenaufgang und guten Frühstück fuhren wir weiter in den Süden.

In search of an LPG filling station (Autogas) we had to make an unscheduled stop in Karlskoga, as the filling stations were only open again on Mondays. The LPG filling stations are very sparsely located in Sweden, therefore: take precautions and inform yourself in good time!!
Overnight in a public parking lot by a snowy frozen lake.

Instead of the planned stop at a campsite in Eg, we drove further north to the campsite in Sollerö, where we had already stopped twice in previous years. Here we stay 2 days and tomorrow maybe go skiing and/or visit Tomte (Santa Claus) in nearby Tomteland where we will send mail/greetings for our grandchildren (as promised).
It's evening and it's starting to snow again.

Planned visit to Santa Claus unfortunately failed, he was now on vacation after the stressful Christmas season.
Round trip around Lake Siljan, which was mostly frozen and on which numerous ice skaters were out and about.
City tour of Mora, where an oversized Dalarna horse is displayed on the edge of the lake. Afterwards visit to the production site of the Dalarna horses, which are all made exclusively by hand, in Nusnäs.
Via the town of Rättvik, where we also made a short stopover, we went back to Sollerö at the campsite.
In the evening it began to rain, resulting in a glassy campsite that had to be walked on with caution.

The onward journey this morning was delayed because of the mirror-smooth, icy square. It went in the direction of Orsa to the Asarna ski center over various snow-covered roads and required prudent action from the driver.
After this technically strenuous day, we arrived safely at our planned destination.
The weather was mixed, sunshine alternated with cloudy skies and rain. Overcast in the evening, with no prospect of the long-awaited Northern Lights. But we don't give up hope.

The further journey along the E 45 led in glorious sunshine to our next destination, the campsite in Storuman, where we were almost alone, apart from a few overnight guests in the huts on the site. There was also a sauna on site that you could use for free.
The starry sky gave hope for more, but unfortunately there was no polar light in sight.
It was an icy night at -14 degrees, but we mastered it without any problems.

Today it didn't want to get light at all in the morning. The sun fought behind the clouds. The weather was dreary, with occasional light snowfall.
On the way we met our first reindeer, which relaxedly crossed the road.
In Arvidsjaur we took a little walk through the town where we also came across a "wooden" moose family.
It was already getting dark at 3:30 p.m. and the day felt a lot shorter.

Our gas supply was running out and since there was no LPG filling station in the area, we drove towards Pitea, where we wanted to fill up the next day.
Overnight stay on a pitch in Lulea, where we spent an interesting evening with other campers in a nearby restaurant.
The next morning we saw many walkers and skaters doing their laps on the frozen lake.
After a hearty breakfast we drove to Pitea to refuel.

On the way to Jokkmokk we passed a sight, the place of origin of today's town of Lulea.
An old settlement, consisting of numerous wooden houses, which the visitors of the Kirchentag used to spend the night and a church as the central point of the place. Very impressive.
Since no parking space could be found in the evening, we stayed in a parking lot near the local church about 40 km before Jokkmokk.

Surprise in the morning: we were snowed in and first had to laboriously shovel our mobile home free again. A clearing vehicle from the municipality also came by and freed us from the snow.
The next stage took us to Jokkmokk.

The next stage took us to Jokkmokk.
The Artic Camp was still pretty snowed up and again it was time to clear the site. A clearing vehicle also came by here, but it was too late for us or we were too fast.
We made a short trip into the city to see the closer conditions.
In the village itself, people were already busy making preparations for the upcoming winter market.
We spent the evening comfortably in the mobile home with an outside temperature of -20 degrees.

We walked into town (about 3 km), well packed and informed by our receptionists at the campsite.
Visit to the Swedish Fell and Sami Museum in Jokkmokk, which showed everything about the life of the Sami in great detail and impressively. Delicious midday lunch at the museum.
Visit to an old pharmacy, which was mainly stocked with lots of knitting and handicraft items, and to Jokkmokk Tenn's workshop, where interesting jewelery is made, including "Mitternatsol" - midnight sun pendants, earrings, candlesticks and much more.
We walked back to Arctic Camp, and it was getting dark again.
The northern lights were originally announced for the evening, but were obscured by clouds.

For today we have booked a tour with a guide to a herd of reindeer, and the official opening of the winter market is in the evening.
We're going straight to the city... we're looking forward to an interesting day.
Weather: - 11 degrees, dry, partly cloudy, the sun is fighting.
The encounter with the reindeer was impressive, we were informed, among other things, about the feeding and the difficulties of the reindeer herders, who are also faced with ever greater problems due to climate change.
It was really cold and we were happy to be able to go back into town after an hour, where we attended the opening ceremonies, which were very impressive.
Then we walked back to Arctic Camp (about 3 km) and warmed up in the mobile home.

Today was market day for us. We were lucky enough to be driven to the market by car.
We strolled through the market and enjoyed the great atmosphere, less the icy cold - 18 degrees!
For lunch there was - in the open air - flam salmon, super delicious, and also cold feet.
Buying warm insoles made the cold more bearable.
In the afternoon we went to the nearby lake where a reindeer race was taking place. The cold was even more intense at the lake and we warmed up with a cup of coffee afterwards.
Then we went to numerous Sami exhibitions and boutiques that documented the Sami's craftsmanship.
It was a very interesting and varied day.

After an icy night - minus 25 degrees - our gas supplies ran out. We therefore had to leave early and drove to the next gas filling station in Pitea.
We spent the night, quite idyllically, in a parking lot near a parking space in Jävre, which was equipped with a super clean and cozy warm (free) sanitary facility (open 24 hours). There was a lighthouse in the parking lot, showing the proximity to the Baltic Sea.
After a great sunrise and a good breakfast we drove further south.

The day was very varied in terms of weather, great sunrise in the morning, sometimes a little overcast during the day, beautiful sunset in the evening.
Interesting impressions in between, eg ice crystals in a harbour, a ferry making its way through the partially frozen Baltic Sea....
As there weren't many open campsites/carports, finding one here was a little tricky.
However, we found a campsite for "spontaneous" campers in Solbacken, which was open with confidence.
A delicious dinner in the mobile home rounded off this day in a relaxed manner.

The journey continued towards Sundsvall, where we refueled on gas the next day.
In Sundsvall we happened upon a place to stay at First-Camp. The place was right on the Baltic Sea, was unfortunately totally icy and very difficult to commit. The situation between the road and the railroad was also somewhat unsettled.
In the morning we experienced a sensational sunrise and after a good breakfast the journey continued.
We drove to Östersund and visited the ski stadium, where the 2019 Biathlon World Championships took place.
Then it was on to the large, well-known ski area in Are.

The journey to Are was very time-consuming and finding accommodation was initially quite difficult.
However, we found a campsite just before Are that was "öppet" and checked in briefly.
Then we went to the village, where we took care of lift tickets and looked for a nearby parking lot so that it was already taken care of for the following day of skiing.
Then we went back to the campsite, where we again spent a relaxing evening.
The next morning we went to the valley station of the cable car. The weather was a bit overcast and unfortunately no sun in sight. But there were great descents and not so busy due to the weekday, so there was enough space on the slopes.
In the afternoon we finished our day of skiing and, after everything was in the right place in the mobile home, we drove on towards Trondheim/Norway.

Unscheduled, we continued towards Trondheim/Norway.
We found an RV site in town that we have stayed at in previous years. Here, too, everything was totally frozen.
In the morning we went to the center of Trondheim for "shopping". It was slightly cloudy and had + 5 degrees. After a successful tour we went back to the mobile home and we decided to continue the route south via Norway to Oslo.

By chance we met mobile home owners from Switzerland who gave us a tip for a small parking space in Oppdahl, which we gladly accepted.
We were warmly addressed in German by the owner of Magalaupet Camping. Her mother was German, hence the good language skills. This also made it easier for us to communicate with each other.
After an extremely stormy night, it had snowed in the morning and we put on snow chains as a precaution. The descent from the campsite to the road was quite steep and we didn't want to take any chances.
When we reached the street, the snow chains were packed up again and we continued with icy gusts of wind and snow flurries on snowy, partly icy roads to an altitude of 1,068 m in the direction of Otta to Lillehammer, where blue skies greeted us again.
The search for a place to stay was no problem today and we were happy to be welcomed by a nice host at the family campsite in Granli.
However, the place was quite icy and so we spent the rest of the evening comfortably, with the appropriate comfortable temperature, in the mobile home.

The overnight stay at the family campsite was very pleasant, the sun was shining and after a good breakfast and a warm shower we continued towards Avika.
Sometimes there was no more snow here and sometimes the green meadows were already visible.
We continued towards Karlstad. There we found a nice parking space at Vänern (lake) and went for a stroll into the city.

Karlstad is a beautiful small town. We also visited Park Mariebersskogen which has something outdoors for all ages; Unfortunately, many things were currently not open.
We continued south towards Mariestad, passing the Götekanal. However, there is currently no business here, but the area is beautiful and very interesting.

Almost all expectations were met except for the "Northern Lights", which unfortunately did not appear as we had hoped.
But: After the trip is before the trip......

Hallo,
sehen wir uns in Jokkmokk? Ich habe dort Arctic Camp während des Wintermarket gebucht. Hin fahre ich die Ostseeroute, zurück über die E45.
