Time
for a new visit to Grövelsjön, a beautiful place where
you might say
that the mountain range becomes more concistent, on the
Swedish side. I
start from the summer parking at 850m
altitude. |
Almost
immediatly you pass the tree limit and can enjoy
the view of Sølen
1755m, in
Norway. |
And
the autumn colors, well, what's to say about that?
|
|
|
|
| I
follow the trail leading towards Storvättershågna. But my
target is a
bit closer, about 4km walk one way. Here Fosksjökläpparna are
to the
right. |
For
3,5km there is a flat high mountain area. A bit up, a bit down, then up
again. |
There
is a reason I choose this route today. There has been a lot of rain,
and wooden footbridges are a good thing then.
|
|
|
|
|
Looking
straight south with Barfredshågna in the middle. |
After
leaving the trail and climbing off
track, I'm now at the eastern summit. To the north are the
lakes Fosksjöarna and further away mountains in Härjedalen.
Very
good visibility today. |
Looking
west, towards the Norwegian side. The western summit is to the left,
just 100m away.
|
 |
|
|
To the southeast, the
peak Lillvättershågna 1066m, to the
right in this picture. |
And
straight to the east is Storvättershågna. Reaching
1204m makes it the highest in Dalarna. |
I
spend a long time up here. Having tea and a sandwich, enjoying the sun.
Just looking all around...
|
|
|
|
| To
the northwest, Grøthogna
1402m. It's on the Norwegian side. |
On
my way back, I really don't want to go all the way down
yet. I choose a
3km detour over Blåkläppen, 1025m.
It's easy walking up here,
no
problems with water. |
I get
rewarded with seeing Städjan, a bit to the right here. Maybe it was
covered with clouds before.
|
|
|
|
| And
Båthusberget in Norway, in the middle here. I climbed that
one earlier
this year. Now I can descend to the car... |
