Time to concentrate on other flowers than just orchids all the time. The logical place for flowers of all sorts is the Hamrafjället mountain, so I took the trail to the meadows and then up to the peak. This is early in the season and many familiar flowers like the fragrant orchid and moor-king are still in the bud stage, I didn’t see any open individuals yet.
Thus abandoning flowers for the day, I drove the toll road up to the Svansjökläppen mountain to spend the evening there. That’s the last time I will take this road… it was bumpy and steep and I felt very sorry for the car (but it held fine!). The road goes way above the treeline, and the very last part of the road was still blocked by snow. Regardless, there now was less than 200 vertical meters to cover to get to the peak, so it was considerably shorter than your normal ascent. The views were great, of course, although the scenery to the south was not at all what I had expected – it was rocky and barren, whereas I’m mostly used to seeing meadows and moors in this region.
