Snow in northern Dalarna

Northern Dalarna in winter is wonderful. I saw it when I visited my friends Vito and Barbara, who manage a very nice Vandrarhem in Särna.

Silverleden

Hiking Silverleden (65km) outside Hällefors in Sweden. The trail is quite well maintained and offers several windbreaks/cabins (slogbod) and tables to rest at. The area is an old mining district with many ruins and abandoned mines which makes it more interesting. I also enjoyed that the trail generally goes over the hills, rather than around, offering nice views, but it also makes it more challenging of course. :)
