Thank you for the video, Michael. This brings back some memories of the trip we did from Stockholm, to Kiruna, several years ago.

[@angelikahummel6743]

Danke, mal wieder viele praktische, hilfreiche Infos und schöne Aufnahmen!

[@after3011]

Great informative video! Just booked my tickets to visit the region now during winter to experience the polar nights and aurora. Looking forward to it!

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

Thanks and have safe travels

[@samanthajanesmith9591]

Just came across your video - nice to see my hometown of Kiruna!

[@AdamAdam-fi2uh]

Beautiful town and wish to live there

[@sundarr457]

Fantastic 👍 I just traveled with you, Michael.... nice experience, really, watching your video. Stay blessed, enjoy👍

I'm planning to travel to Abisko soon, so thank you for this informative video, it's really helpful to see what the journey look like before you embark on it.

Oh I love Lulea and Kiruna. Leider hat das Cafe Safari wegen des Umzugs der Stadt geschlossen und wird im neuen Stadtkern nach jetzigem Stand nicht wieder eröffnet - Aussage der Kiruna Info vor Ort. Der Zug war ein Nachtzug der SJ. Die haben die besseren Abteile mit eigener Dusche und Toilette. Ein zweiter Anbieter ist Vy Tag - schwedischer Ableger des norwegischen Vy. Deren Schlafkabinen sind nicht ganz so komfortabel. Übrigens zählt seit einiger Zeit beim Interrail Pass eine Fahrt mit dem Nachtzug begonnen an einem Tag z.B. gegen 22:00 Uhr und beendet am anderen Tag z.B. 11:00 Uhr als ein genutzter Tag.

Nice video Marko, I live in Stockholm and have a dream go to Kiruna and see polar lights

[@manmeetsinghmahajan6183]

That is the new Kiruna train station. The railway was moved a few years ago.

Cool! Hope you coming back 👍

You are quite wrong about the roads in the Gällivare area - in fact most roads are paved (asphalt). You only find dirt/gravel roads on very few places - in small rural villages e.g.

[@gerdniemeier1711]

Moin aus Hamburg, habe mir gerade dein Video angesehen, sehr schön. Ich habe vor mit einem Global Pass von Interrail, die gleiche Tour zu machen. Wie teuer ist so ein Abteil mit Bad, finde ich genial. Wäre nett von dir zu hören/lesen. Beste Grüße

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

Servus, vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar. Für das Abteil habe ich knapp 900 SK also ca 90 € bezahlt was ich wirklich völlig in Ordnung fand. Es war sekr bequem und das Bad ist ein extra Plus.

Hallo Michael über welche Seite kann ich den am besten so einen Nachtzug mit Schlafabteil buchen ? Ich war auf ein paar deutsche Seiten auf denen aber nichts zum Schlafabteil stand. Tolles Video !

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

Hallo ich hab über SJ.se gebucht die offizielle Seite der schwedischen Eisenbahn. Dirt war die Buchung einfach und auch am günstigsten. Danke dir!

[@annabackman3028]

Nice video! Gällivare is pronuonced as Jällivare. The 'G' probably closer to the English 'Y' in 'yard' than an English 'J'. The 'ä', 'a' with two dots above, is like the 'a' in 'happy'. L is L. The 'i' is like in 'in' or 'is'. V is as an English 'v'. The 'a' as in 'large' or a little more open as in "Aha! 😃💡" The R is a gentle Swedish R, or a sloppy Scottish R, depends on how you see it😂! And the 'e' is like in 'end'. The mystery with the G pronuonced as J (Y) is that a G before a soft vowel in the beginning of a word sounds 'J'. Gj, hj, lj is also 'j' 😘 Who said that the English language is spelled weird? Just wait for our special stj, skj, sj, sk (sometimes ch and sch) which is close to 'sh' in English but not the same, I can't explain it, and the tj, kj, k (before soft vowel), sometimes 'ch' and 'sch', which is the same as English 'sh'. The Swedish language can be tricky both to pronounce and spell. 💗

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

Thank you for the help with the Swedish language 🥰

[@annabackman3028]

@@bavarian_globetrotter Several decades ago they tried to teach me both English and German in school. Didn't work out well. 🙄 I later realized that English is a necessity, so with a few classes and mostly self taught, that part is alright nowadays. The German... No, sorry. 😒 Thanks to the likeness I can understand some written, but not good enough to get my way around. Languages are interesting, that's where we really can see that we are related to other people. It's also a good thing to learn how to pronounce names for example. If you look for something, and you're standing there like a fool and no one understand what you're trying to say! Anyone who has traveled know that situation 😂😂 The worst traps in Swedish are å, ä, ö, the rest of the spelling contra pronunciation. And how the Scandinavian countries pronuonce 'U'... I don't there's no other language with that sound.. 🤔 When a not native speaker of Swedish, Danish or Norwegian tries, they all become German! 😁 You say 'u' as we say 'o', and you say 'o' as we å! And the Scandinavian 'U'.... 😂😂

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

@@annabackman3028 Hi, sorry for responding late but I was out of the country :-) Yes I know that feeling although I speak fluent English, French and a pretty OK Italian and Spanish. I have a friend who was born in Malmö, of course speaks Swedish and we've been to Oslo 2019 for new years eve and I was stunned that even the Norwegians understood him :-) Have you been travelling as well?

[@HannahHäggAutisticTransWoman]

Sj, Sk, G, Si/Ssi, Ti, Stj, Skj, Ch, sh and Sch in Swedish are like a hard version of sh in english. It's complicated to explain. While tj, ( k before soft vowels) is pronounded like sh in english. J, (G before soft vowels) Gj, Hj, Lj, Dj are pronounced j or like y in yes. Å and somerime O is like au in austria or o in something. It's å often it's a long vowel , exemption are kom (come), son (son), ovan (above) and lova (promise), O is often used if it's a short vowel exemptions are råtta (rat), bråttom (hurry) , påsk (easter), hålla (keep), håll (hold), många(many), måste (must), våffla (waffle). O is mostly like O in moon. S, Ps, Z (most of the time C except for ck) are pronounced s like in sun Ck is of course like ck in truck. Ä is like the e in where or the first e in there. Ö is like the i in bird or ea in earl. Yes Swedish is hard to spell at times.

Hi nice video may I ask where did you book the train tickets from Stockholm to Kiruna please if you have links or from station and how much was it ? Thanks in advance

[@bavarian_globetrotter]

HI, I booked them online at the Swedish Railways SJ (www.sj.se/#/) as it was very easy and cheaper as well. At the time I travelled I paid around 925 SEK (90 €) in a 1st class single compartment with was a really good deal.

[@zakpod1]

@@bavarian_globetrotter thank you very much for the quick answer :)

May I ask, how much train ticket cost that you used from Stockholm to Kiruna? Thank you in advance!!

Hello I booked them online in advance at the Swedish Railways SJ (www.sj.se). It was very easy ( in English) and cheaper as well than on other websites. At the time I travelled I paid around 925 SEK (90 €) in a 1st class single sleeper compartment which was a really good deal.
