Find Wilderness Life
By car:
Our Wilderness Lodge is located in Auktsjaur on the E45 between Arvidsjaur and Jokkmokk.
There are various ferry connections from Germany and Denmark such as the Öresund Bridge from to reach Sweden.
We personally prefer to take a section of the ferry because you can take a short break from driving.
Possible ferry connections:
Fehmarn-Rodbyhavn
Rostock - Trelleborg
Kiel - Gothenburg
Arrived on the Scandinavian side, there are different routes on which you can get to Lapland. One route takes you on the E4 via Stockholm and then along the picturesque coast, past Gävle, Sundsnall, Örnsköldsvik, Nordmaling, Umea and Skelleftea.
Alternatively, the E45 would be through the interior of Sweden
We have already driven both routes. The coastal road is very beautiful and offers a lot of variety. We found that it takes a little more time, but it is worth it.
