Hey everyone,
Wondering if I could get some suggestions on a backpacking route/itinerary through Scandinavia. I am travelling between March and April for 4 weeks beginning and ending in Stockholm with a nice few day layover in Iceland. I was planning on doing a shoestring route through Norway, Denmark and returning to Sweden relying mostly on train transit. I was curious if I would be able to add some Baltic states into the mix or possibly Poland using some cheapish air transit (excited I am used to 14-hour bus rides in South America). This will be my first sort of lengthy Europe trip and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions where to spend my time/places that should be added or skipped. Figured I'll be fighting the weather most of the time and don't want to spread my time too thin. Budget isn't too much of an issue but I prefer to slum it if possible. Thanks in advanced!

With 3 countries - two of them very large coundtries - in 4 weeks you have already spread thin, unless you in reality only want to go capital-hopping
Glad you are aware that many of the interesting things in Sweden and especilly Norway (mountain hiking, the selfie sites, the north are not accessible due to coming in winter.

Do you have any interests? Why you are travelling to these places? Latvia, Poland and Norway are very different. March is a good time for skiing in Skandinavia if you are into that.
