Geocache Description:

This is a cache series placed along the hiking/sking route "Prinsleden" as laid out in STF's magazine Turist  #1 - 2013.


Prinsleden - Rr 263

After the Kvilebu hut you follow Oallavaggi and then along the Sealggajohka stream towards Čunojávrihytta, the lodge is locked but NOT can send you a key for a small fee if you want to use that one. On route you may also want to pick up the cache Bro (GC4GGFC) at  N68’12.348 E018’04.432. It is shortly before the rickety bridge that takes you to the lodge. On the maps here the trail continues north of Čunojávri lake - DO NOT take this trail as it is not maintained anymore. Instead cross the bridge towards the lodge and then follow signs towards Unna Allakas, this trail will skim the north shore of the lake instead. 

As you approach Sweden you will see a couple of larger yellow colored cairns marking the border. Please note - the cache is NOT in or on top any of the cairns, instead look a couple of meters into Swedish territory.

 

The hike then continues towards the next cache Prinsleden - Unna Allakas. 

The cache before this one is Prinsleden - Kvilebu.

 

The route

The trail is around 115km (71 miles) in total and one should plan for 7-8 days to hike the entire length. It is highly recommended to do the hike from north to south starting at Katterat, take the train from either Kiruna or Narvik to get here.
