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…
Very windy on Saturday but I had planned to drive to Funäsdalen anyway so it was fine. I did some shopping; got myself a new backpack again! My quest to find the perfect photo hiking pack, part 7. Back at the cabin, did some more cleaning and cleared out some junk, so now it’s starting…
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…
I’ve been in desperate need of a vacation, and now I finally have it – one week in the mountains in the autumn colours is just what the doctor ordered. In preparation of the vacation, I had been studying the maps quite intensively. After all these years, I’m still finding new things, like this oddly…
8 och 9 av 60 toppar Ösjövålen och Ösjökläppen Dagens vandring gick till Ösjöstugan och och vidare till Ösjövålen och Osjökläppen. Det är en lång vandring så jag ville göra det lite lättare genom att ta skidliften upp från Ramundberget, vilket innebar att det var lätt vandring till Ösjöstugan. Leden går upp därifrån och när…
I have another mini-holiday this weekend. And there’s only really one place where I can spend it – the mountains. Today’s hike was at Ramundberget. I’ve read about the waterfalls of Tvärån and because the day was going to be overcast, waterfalls were just the right thing to shoot. Problem is… the waterfalls weren’t as…
I left relatively early to catch the morning sun in a panoramic spot I discovered the other day. It was windier than anticipated though, but I took the pictures anyway because the scenery is a little bit unusual – the only place along this road between Funäsdalen and Ljungdalen where you can see the Sylarna…
Time to concentrate on the main thing – flowers. Considering the slow progress of all flowers in Loos, I figured there was a risk that I wouldn’t find anything interesting (read: orchids) in the mountains. And I was right, the best I could find all day was some lapland marsh orchids which were in the…
For years I’ve been looking at the Rogen Nature Reserve on my map. The region is filled with lakes in all kinds of exciting shapes and sizes and I’ve been wondering what they would look like in real life. Today was the day I was finally going to go there and see it for myself.…
