Km: 17,5
Time: 3h30
Weather: sun with clouds
As soon as you leave the station, you are on the hiking trail, which is really really nice. To get instantly on the trail rather than walking the road for a few kilometres. Moreover, the whole way to get to Abisko we had rains and clouds, but once were there, we got a blue sky and sun. Thank you weather gods!! We had a gentle climb to the first hut. On the way we stopped to help a woman because her sole from her boot came loose, so we use some duct tape to fix it, and we continued to the hut.
The trail with rocks to avoid is frequently swapped with boardwalks. The summer trail and the winter snowscooter trail intersect each other very often, but apart from that, navigating was easy and compare to the book we made really good time, but seeing that we started at 11 we got to the hut at five-ish which is a paid camp side, so we decided to continue until we left Abisco national park and we are now camping on a kind of designated side, which has a toilet and a fast flowing river which made for a really nice and really cold bath.
Being in the wilderness is great
