Inlandsvägen

From then on the route goes through Lapland and its wilderness, via the towns Vilhelmina, Storuman, Arvidsjaur, Jokkmokk and Gällivare to its northern terminus in Karesuando at the Finnish border.

Most parts of Inlandsvägen have just two lanes with two-way-traffic; a 6 meters (20 ft) wide asphalted road that follows the terrain.

Inlandsvägen Syd (The Inland Road South) is a term used about Riksväg 26 (National Road 26) that begins in Halmstad in the south and ends in Mora in the midst of Sweden, The most parts of Inlandsvägen Syd also just have two lanes with two-way-traffic.

The name is related to the famous Inland Line (Inlandsbanan), a railroad line that used to run almost parallel between Kristinehamn and Mora (Riksväg 26), and still today nearly always runs parallel to the road between Mora and Gällivare (European route E45).

The communities and small towns with direct connections to the road have financed the marketing of Inlandsvägen.
