Day 8 – at Tuvesjön beach

I’d put together a route to hike this morning, but the online maps I’m using are not great in this area. Elsewhere in Europe, the Czech mapping app, Mapy, has been excellent. So I sort of made it up as I went along. The west side of the Enasjön lakes is on an unsealed road, after a few kilometres I spotted a forest track and gambled on it. I had a rough sense of the direction to head in, but no idea whether it would just stop, as a logging track might. With a bit of a cut through the forest, after a couple of kilometres, I got through to the rough road on the other side, and it made a really good circuit. There’s so much forest here, it’s easy to lose one’s bearings.

There was drizzle in the air all morning, which heralded a cold front moving through. When the cloud cleared this afternoon, it was very much cooler, with a northerly wind also – very welcome to douse the humidity, and keep those midges indoors.
