Today's trail, 6 km

Photos from the hiking trail between Njunjes and Tarrekaise.

Today's distance is the shortest during this trip, but even so it offers a great variety of hiking conditions.


Jungle-like trail far above the arctic circle

Up and down, up and down. But mostly up. A little bit tiring but mostly exciting to walk amongst all the flowers.

Duckboards on the alpine plateau above the tree line

There are at least three high-lights associated with this alpine plateau. First one is when we arrive after hiking thru dense vegetation and the mountain scenery unfolds itself. The second one is the walk itself. It is easy and the scenery is open, quite different from the strenuous climb up. The third high-light is right before we start our descent. Stones on both sides of the trail resemble a gate and we can see the valley in all its splendor below us.

Dwarf cornells along the trail, here a smooth stone surface.

After taking so much height it doesn't feel right to walk down again so soon. But who can feel annoyed by such a small thing when one is greeted by all the Dwarf cornells down in the valley?

Flowering fields down in the valley

This is simply amazing! If it wasn't for the mosquitoes we would probably stand with our mouths open, unable to move. So much flowers!



Down in the valley, the trail follow the Tarra river closely.

Hard to walk part of the trail with lots of large stones

Here I once met a family with mountain bikes loaded with gear. Knowing that will make our hike seem so much more easier.

Duckbords towards the end of todays hike.

Bogs, duckboards and white-birches is a common scenery during the last kilometers.
