Day 3: Gåldahaugen - Kuohkimajärvi

Hike through the fells started in a sunshine. After a few hours it was pretty warm and I could see the warm air dancing on the horizon. The route itself was quite easy even though there were few small swamps that were not on the map. That has been one of the biggest surprises to me, how wet the terrain here is. I've always thought the fells are quite dry terrain, but no.

It was really beautiful and easy the first few hours through the fells. I finally found the Nordkalottleden (Kalottireitti) trail and continued following it down from the fells.

I was really early at the Kuohkimajärvi wilderness cabin, but I was glad arriving early as it has been a really warm day! I mean so warm that I was thinking of going for a swim in the ice cold lake. I just couldn't find a suitable spot to dip quickly into the lake.

Hopefully next night is quieter than the previous one here. So far at least there's far less tents than previously.

Tomorrow I'll hike through the Malla Strict Nature Reserve again and then unfortunately my time here in the North is over. 😭Read more
