It was an easy and quick hike as it was mostly a flat road with not much elevation. Suited me just fine as I'm now carrying food for five to six days to make it to the town of Vuku in Norway where the next shop is some 90 kilometers away.
Reached Tännforsen quite early. This is the biggest waterfall in Sweden and it is not allowed to camp here. The waterfall during its existence has sprayed so much moisture into the air that it has created a unique environment around it and nature needs to be protected from damage that masses of people camping here would cause.
There are a few spots for motorhomes to stay but nothing else. Then there's also a small cabin which is reserved solely for people walking the St. Olavsleden. Nobody else can reserve a spot in this cabin and you do need to provide your pilgrim passport and stamps as proof that you are a hiker before you can book a bed. I got a bed in this nice cabin and as it's early season there are no other hikers. In total the cabin can accommodate eight people though if more arrive none will be turned away. Arrangements will be made to accommodate all.
They also made me dinner and I got breakfast supplies with me as well to the cabin and a bit of lunch for tomorrow's hike. I also washed all my clothes properly as the cabin has a washing machine free to use.Read more
