Assorted scenes from today's hike between Njunjes and Tarrekaise.

Basseuksa, an ancient Saami sacrificial ground, seen from the trail.

Basseuksa, an ancient Saami sacrificial ground.
The "door" is clearly visible from the trail and it doesn't take very long to get there. There are some steep parts towards the end but no major difficulties. If you want to go all the way and touch the wall, you need to cross some wet and slippery stones at the very end. The door may not look too impressive in this picture, but it is actually about 30 m high. Close to the sacrificial ground is a small waterfall, and the ravine is botanically interesting. The cracks in the wall resemble something. Can you make it out?

Tarra river and hiking trail seen from a hill side 100 meters up.

To see it all from a distance sure gives a different perspective!
Sitting on a hillside, even if only 100 meters up from the trail, not only opens up the scenery but possibly also your mind. Our ordinary life down in the valley is now a part of a different reality. From up here we can see the whole picture and understand everything. The appearance of Tarra river, the meaning of life and everything.
What a difference it can make!
Can you see the hiker walking in the middle of the picture? What could he be thinking about?

Ptarmigan

Ptarmigan. This one survived the hunters that gather in the mountains during the winter season.
One of few photographs of birds I have on this site. Not because there are no birds along this trip but because my camera is not suited for that kind of work.

An erected tent between Njunjes and Tarrekaise. Hilleberg akto.

Not an easy place to put up a tent even it might look like it, but the scenery makes it worthwhile to try. This tent is not very well stretched and I am ashamed to say that I am responsible for this one.
