There are five more of these specially chosen
meditation spots along this trail between Abisko and Kebnekaise.
The words of wisdom engraved in the stones are thoughts by the
Swedish UN secretary-general, Dag
Hammarsköld. He was a religious man and these stones
and wooden signs were paid by the church. The longest journey
could be the journey within as it is engraved in the stone above,
but do these messages enhance our experience of the nature and
solitude, or is it an unwelcome intrusion?
We reach this camping area after 4 km. There
are outside privies and a shelter with a fireplace. This is
the only place where you are aloud to camp between Abisko and
Abiskojaure. A unique situation in Sweden where you normally
can put up a tent anywhere you want, even in national parks.
It can be difficult to make a pot of tea
with a gas stove when it is windy.
Giron, 1551m. Not far away from the Abiskojaure
cabins now.
