Umeå
I have done very little solo backpacking, but I had the chance to extend a work trip to Umea in Sweden by 3 days. Leading north from the city is a 39km trail know as The Tavelsjöleden. Over the two and a bit days of hiking I saw almost nobody else, and certainly didn't see the monster of the lake the route draws its name from. It was also ridiculously flat, a highlight being the summit of the region's tallest peak - Mount Tavelsjöberget at 284m!
