Naturrastplats Koulitisjaure is a parking area in a beautiful and serene setting in the mountains northwest of Arjeplog in Sweden, very close to the Norwegian border. People park here to access local hikes and cabins/camping spots on the Swedish side (notably Jurun), but there is also a trail which leads through to the Saltfjellet National Park in Norway.
This is a "one road to everywhere" situation, meaning that although the frequency of vehicles is low, the chance of getting a long ride east into Swedish civilisation is quite high.
Frequencies and chances of hitching west towards Norway are reportedly much lower, though my personal experience, standing at 11:00 on a Wednesday in early September, was receiving around six refusals before being picked up a little after 13:00 and driven to the nearest train station on the Norwegian side - Røkland. I stood at the layby "P" parking spot up the hill from Naturrastplats Koulitisjaure (to the east).
