Day 6 | To Bläkka Shelter | 22km

I had to make several trips to relieve myself during the night, disrupting my sleep. When I woke up at 4 am, I noticed the sunrise was slowly beginning to paint the sky. The tent was frozen, covered in condensation from the chilly night.

Waking up once more at 8 am, I was greeted by a sunny morning. I packed up and enjoyed my breakfast in the great outdoors. The trail was dotted with numerous delightful campsites, and I encountered plenty of reindeer along the way. Throughout the day, I crossed paths with around six hikers, exchanging friendly greetings.

At Stülltje hut, I had a chat with a kind Swedish gentleman. After covering nearly 11 kilometers, I stopped there for lunch. I also spotted two hunters, as it happened to be bird hunting season.

The walk was relatively easy and predominantly flat, with the terrain offering a smooth path. My journey led me to Brasjäkka shelter around 5:30 pm. Here, I learned from a Swedish section hiker that the upcoming place, Bäversholmen, roughly translates to "home of the beaver." It sounded rather charming! I decided to set up camp 3 kilometers before reaching Bäversholmen.
