Misc. photos from today's trail

Entrance gate to the trail



Trail in white-birch forest


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?



Suspension bridge in the beginning



Trail thru subalpine forest



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.



Trail like a highway



Occasional alpine terrain



It can be difficult to make a pot of tea with a gas stove when it is windy.



Suspension bridge just before we arrive to the cabins



Giron, 1551m. Not far away from the Abiskojaure cabins now.
