Dag Hammarskjöldsleden

Dag Hammarskjöldsleden, Hiking trail in Norrbotten County, Sweden.

Dag Hammarskjöldsleden is a 105 km long-distance hiking trail between Abisko and Nikkaluokta in Norrbotten County, Sweden. For its first 72 km it follows the northernmost section of the Kungsleden to the Singi hut, then continues 33 km to Nikkaluokta. It was laid out as a modern pilgrim path and opened in 2004.

The trail was created as a modern pilgrim path and inaugurated in 2004, built through cooperation between the Sámi, the Luleå diocese of the Church of Sweden, the Norrbotten county administration and the Swedish Tourist Association (STF). It is named after Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961), the second UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who liked to spend time in the Abisko area.

The trail's name honours Dag Hammarskjöld, who often stayed in the Abisko area; it was built with the Sámi and the Luleå diocese of the Swedish Church as a modern pilgrim path. Seven meditation places along the route each hold a round stone carved with a short text from Hammarskjöld's posthumous notes Vägmärken (1963), in Swedish and Sámi, meant to be carried along the walk.

The route runs 105 km from Abisko to Nikkaluokta, with STF huts at Abiskojaure, Alesjaure, Tjäktja, Sälka, Singi and Kebnekaise, plus a snack stop at Lake Ladtjojaure. The stage over the Tjäktja Pass is 3 km, and the last stretch from the lake to Nikkaluokta is 6 km. In winter a marked route is staked with poles, as on the Kungsleden.

Seven meditation spots lie along the route, each with a round stone bearing a short text from Dag Hammarskjöld's posthumous notes "Vägmärken" (1963), carved in both Swedish and Sámi. The trail is named after Hammarskjöld because he often stayed in the Abisko area. In August the Fjällräven Classic crosses the same stretch between Abisko and Nikkaluokta.
