This is it, opening of the summer waffle season! I drove to Bruksvallarna and took the toll road to Mittåkläppen. The target for the day’s hike was Lill-Axhögen. There’s a 4-wheeler road that follows the valley to the west, and this road would take me very close to the mountain. But instead of wasting time…

It was going to be one of those rare non-overcast days so I had planned a big hike. I drove to Torkilstöten in Ljungdalen and the idea was that I would hike to Norra (North) Gröndörrstöten and energy allowing, Södra (South) Gröndörrstöten as well. The weather was really dull with no sign of that sun…

This is probably the sunniest day of the vacation. It can’t get any sunnier in any case! Perfect day for a hike, so I drove to Bruksvallarna and left my car at Rockvallen. I hiked up to the Skenörsfjället peak and it was a real treat. It’s right smack in the middle of the massif…

It’s the last day of my vacation, then it’s the weekend and back to work on Monday. I decided to do one last hike, then do some cabin maintenance on Saturday and head home early on Sunday. It was not intentional but it seems like I finish the outdoors part of my vacation in the…

05:25 – Somebody knocks on the door. I try to open the door from the left side (like at home), it fails miserably. But in the end I get the door open from the right side. ”Hello, I’m your new neighbour. If you’re planning to drive out today, then you should move your car to…

I read in Härjedalens kärlväxtflora (as mentioned yesterday) that there’s a very rare dandelion (Taraxacum crocodes) growing on the eastern shore of the lake Messlingen. Now, all dandelions look all the same to me, but the book assured me that this particular dandelion is different. I found some dandelions. They all looked the same to…

I’m on vacation. Two weeks! Amazing luxury, I don’t even want to hear when was the last time I had such a long a vacation. The cabin is ready enough to be my home for the whole period, I have hot water and the toilet ventilation works. The biggest problem I have with the cabin…

Would you believe, I was cleaning again. Not inside the cabin this time, but on the outside. It looks godawful, there’s a big pile of junk next to the stairs and bits and pieces scattered around the cabin. It was easier to remove those bits and pieces, but that big pile of junk is another…

Yesterday was such a great day that it was unrealistic to think that I would have another one today. My hike started off cold, windy and moody and when I was climbing up to mount Ramundberget from Walles, I found that my thighs were a lot more tired than the rest of my body. I…

Today I hiked to the peak of Lill-Skarven (1224 m). It was promising to be a relatively easy and quick hike, except that if you park your car by the road 84 in Tänndalen, the entire hike is uphill from there to the peak. The only places where it levelled off at all was when…
