Day 7 | To Pjeljekaise Shelter | 27km

As I arrived at Beaverholmen, a small resort with a shop, my hopes were dashed to find it closed. Continuing on to Adolfström, I spotted a promising cafe, only to be met with disappointment again – it was closed as well. The whole area seemed eerily deserted, and even the campsite was off-limits.

However, my day took a turn for the better when I crossed paths with some hunters who were out bird hunting. We had a pleasant chat, and I couldn't resist taking a photo with their adorable dog. 

As I continued, a slight drizzle began. Along the way, I reached a bridge with plenty of campsites and public toilets. I thought we'd reach the shelter early, but the last 7 kilometers of the trail were exceptionally stony, making progress slow and strenuous, almost like navigating a winter trail.

Ultimately, I decided to sleep in a hut due to the challenging, stony ground. It was quite fascinating to read the trail book, with entries dating back to the 1980s, offering a glimpse into the history of the trail and the experiences of those who had hiked it over the years.
