This summer I will (once more) go for an extended trek in the very north of Sweden (and/or Norway). The region we'll likely end up in will be around the big trekking routes Kungsleden/Padjelantaleden/Nordkalottleden, also nearby is Swedens highest mountain, Kebnekaise, and the famous Sarek national park.

The possible routes sometimes follow valleys, cross rivers and lakes but for big parts are also above the treeline (which, at this geographical latitude, is only around 700m above sea level).

So far I only know of Blueberries and the delicious but rare Hjortron.

What (other) foods can we forage while on our trek?

Btw, we won't have permits needed for hunting/fishing (nor the required skills I might add ;)).

• The time of the year will be high summer for northern Scandinavia (as high as it gets that is), i.e. July/August.
