Day 65 - to Lierne National Park (entrance)

Even seen through curtains of cloudy rain Klimpfjäll looked a town of mixed fortunes. It may consider its claim to fame as its name being used for an Ikea dining table, but prior to that, it was for the Stekenjokk copper mine, which had a brief existence, from the mid-1970s until it’s closure in 1989. It’s employees were housed in Klimpfjäll, for whom more than a hundred houses were built. Those buildings are still in the process of being replaced by smart glass-fronted holiday homes overlooking the lake.

The wind and rain wasn’t forecast to clear until early evening today, so it was with hesitation that Roja got his morning exercise; that, and the fact that the Swedish horror I was reading didn’t hold my attention.

I was driving a section, or more mathematically accurate an arc, of the Vildmarksvägen, or Wilderness Road, Sweden’s equivalent of Scotland’s North Coast 500.

It’s a circular route that encompasses the highest through road in the country, at 900 metres, and the area with the greatest number of bears in Sweden. There is a 30 kilometre plateau on its west-most section that is all above 850 metres. It is closed in winter, and gets on average 7 metres of snow for four months.

This is where the Stekenjokk mine is.

If the weather had been more favourable I certainly would have stayed up here for a night or two, but today it was not so welcoming. We opted for a couple of short hiking escapades, 40 minutes or so, timed supposedly when the rain was lighter.

At the town of Gaddede, a pleasant tourist attraction, I completed my arc, and headed west, just a few kilometres back into Norway. My destination was the Lierne National Park, to which, just in the last year, a new access road has been constructed, so new, that it doesn’t show on any maps yet.

Fortunately there was a signpost for the 5 kilometre gravel track which ends in a car park with the usual facilities, a shelter with fire pit, toilets and car park. At 600 metres asl, it is a perfect overnight park-up. The rain cleared as forecast just after 5 pm, giving us an hour of daylight for a quick walk.

There’s a cabin also, that is being rented by four hunters and their dogs, all very friendly, and we chatted for a while. The moose hunting season opened last weekend.

Äntligen framme i Klimpfjäll! 😍 Precis när vi kommit fram till ume och för ett litet stopp så ringer hotellet i Klimpfjäll och säger att våran stuga går inte att bo i och att vi skulle få bo i en annan stuga hos någon annan. Blev lite nervös och hann tänka det värsta flera gånger! Men det blev super bra tillslut, jätte mysigt här med många tv kanaler men inget Wi-Fi dock hahah, hemskt att man ska måsta ha det för att typ överleva 😂 Annars åkte vi raka vägen till Vilhelmina för att äta pizza till lunch och hälsa på Amadeus min lillebror som skaffat lägenhet, satt där och drack kaffe och surra lite innan vi fortsatte till fjälle. Sitter nu i stugan och ser tv medan jag ammar Ofelia, Sebbe tar en liten nap. Åskan går runt oss så väntar bara på att den ska komma hit

Day 64 - to Klimpfjäll

I managed to get the things done around town on foot with the dog before the rain set in, and included a return along the Umealven river, in full flow.

By chance I happened upon the Systembolaget being open. It is so rarely. That is, the state liquor store, necessary for the purchase of any alcohol above 4%. It opens for 3 hours on a Saturday, not on Sundays, and from 10 until 4 on weekdays. The staff were really friendly and knowledgable also about the beers. They seem at first to only have two beer sections, lager and ‘eepa’, or IPAs. But in actual fact, concealed between and within are more interesting opportunities. I asked about Dunkel or Bock, as I have seen them before in Scandinavia. Actually, the lady told me, Sweden brews it’s own. Not only that, but far cheaper also than the imported versions.

I enquired about Porter, as the Finnish have some pleasant ones. Imported they have several, from UK of course, but there was a Swedish one, so we will see, I will report back.

We chatted a while about how such a state run enterprise runs, with no offers ever, no competition, yet reasonable prices. A bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig for example, was 37 euros. Many Norwegians do their alcohol shopping here, prices there are double at least.

I drove on magnificent roads around to Klimpfjäll, which took about 3 hours. It was now raining heavily, and about 6C. I’m inland in the mountains again, so the weather is very different to the fjord coast, were today it was overcast and 16C.

This circular route I have embarked on an arc of is the Vildmarksvägen, or Wilderness Road, but unless the rain relents I may be hastening back to the coast..

One of the first knife I made. It is not perfect but I like it and use it a lot. Handle is made from birch burl, reindeer antler, tin and vulcan fibre. #knife #knivslöjd #woodworking #bushcraft #bushcraftknife #fixedblade #outdoorknife #traditionaltools #knifemaking #knifesofinstagram #nordicstyle #handcrafted (på/i Klimpfjäll, Västerbottens Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqjKEqInxs/?igshid=7f8t05qsop9
