    Hike to Stornabben and in Abisko National Park

    Hiking without a dog is possible, but pointless.Still, I went on a (shorter) hike today with some beautiful views. I caught a lift to Abisko this morning and set off on my hike. I left the national park for my first stop on the peak of Stornabben. From the 495m height you have a wonderful…

    One Night Outdoors

    I walked up towards Låktatjåkka just about two kilometres yesterday to find a spot for Ronja and me to set up camp in the (well, almost) wild. An easier way to do it as I would not have been far from base in any case. What can I say? It was lovely! (Except for the…
