Getting there,

Getting from Bruges to Forshällan (Jokkmokk) is quit a journey.



Train from Bruges to Brussels-Nat.Airport.

Pay attention: getting to the Airport costs you some additional fee 2,16€ called “Diabolo - for improved access to the airport. From Bruges the train brings you to Brussels-North where you find a connection to Brussels-Nat.Airport. http://www.b-rail.be/

Flying to Arlanda Airport

If you fly to Stockholm go for a direct flight if it suits you. Otherwise the flight go’s over Copenhagen thereafter to Stockholm on another air plane. If the transit time is too short (less than 2 hours) it could happen that you luggage is still in Copenhagen and you’re already in Stockholm. That was the occasion on my first flight to Sweden. http://www.flysas.com

Transfer to Stockholm

If you come to Arlanda Airport you can transfer to Stockholm either by bus – Flybussarna or by train – Arlanda Express. The former is cheaper 99SEK the latter is faster 260SEK for a single trip. If you prefer the Express and you arrive in the weekend you could get a reduction card when traveling detour in the same weekend 280SEK. http://www.flygbussarna.se/ , http://www.arlandaexpress.com/

Overnight train to Murjek

There are several ways getting to the North. But the cheapest is traveling by the overnight train to Narvik – Norway. It’s also the best if you are on a timetable shedule. You can book from 90days before departure and could find a cheap ticket. 394SEK single seat bookable on http://www.sj.se
The train leaves in Stockholm Central on 17:50 and if all goes well you arrive in Murjek next morning 08:20.

Almost there

Murjek the end of your journey by train is a small village. You’ll find only a small building which is the railway station. Further from the railway is an small beautiful roundabout and some old houses and a hotel/restaurant/campsite. The bus – line 43 to Jokkmokk will await you beside the railway building if you are lucky and the train arrives before 08:45. http://www.ltnbd.se/

There are other possibilities, but the above is almost the cheapest.

Have a nice trip
