Day 17 – to Gränjestjärn, Idre

A few spots of rain overnight, chiefly noticed at 5:30 am when Roja woke me to request access to the outdoors. His stay out there was brief, but enough mosquitos around for me to decide to return to bed.

Those early showers gave way to a fine day though, and after a brief wander down the riverbank we moved on northwards to Idre. There are hills here I’m keen to get into tomorrow, but for today we settled on a paddle and hike around Burusjön lake.

Idre, a town of moose.

There is no camping on the road up to the Nipfjället massif, so I found a place, quite alone, at Gränjestjärn, a smaller lake or tarn.

Later in the afternoon a Dutch couple pulled over for the night, in their green self-converted transit, with two female dogs for Roja to befriend. We ended up chatting over a drink for most of the evening, their mosquito technology keeping the threat at bay.
