Sweden roadtrip 2020 – day 7 Abisko

We started the day a bit later than usual today. Everybody was tired from the past days adventures and all the fresh air I guess ?.

So we had a calm morning and after breakfast we went to Naturum to check a bit with them about good hikes for familjes. The service here is really great, you dont need to be a pro at all, there are so many people here that can guide you, and hikes for everybody. So after some discussion with the guide and some thinking, we found a suitable hike for the day.

We packed our stuff and headed out. The first part of the hike went right next to a jokk that was very vivid. We followed it for a while and then turned into the birch wood. We walked through the wood for a while until we saw a small lake. The lake was the perfect spot for a lunch stop, a bit windy (keep out mosqitos) and for me it was a perfect opportunity to go for a swim.

The food tasted delicious, as always outdoors. We had a cup of coffee in the sun while i was drying up a bit (i had not planned to go for a swim so i had no towel). After a nice long lunch break we continued our hike back to STF Abisko.

We arrived back quite early so we even had time for an extra 2 km walk down to the beach close to our cabin. Unfortunately there were lots of mosqitos there so we just sat down for a short while there before we headed back again. After some showering and packning it was time for another great dinner. Today i had the fish and it was sooo tasty. ? Starter was a vegetarian one made of beetroot, truffle, västerbottensost and salad. The starter was not in the same league as the main course but still very good.

After dinner i was so full i could hardly do anything the rest of the evening… ?
