Day 13. Saudal to Jäkkvik
Another bright day with a light breeze, perfect walking weather for the trip to Jäkkvik.
 |
| Path through the woods |
Through the woods all the way but there were some good views over the numerous lakes.
 |
| More woods |
 |
| Lots of lakes |
There was one river/lake crossing to make, this time with no alternative to the rowing boats.
 |
| An old fishing boat slowly composting |
 |
| Interesting gate in a reindeer fence |
 |
| Rowing across the lake |
I was lucky to arrive just as another group coming from the south had left two boats on my side.
 |
| Arrived |
 |
| A return trip |
It was an easy row across in a nice light aluminium boat and I didn't even have to pull it ashore as there were two people waiting to take it back.
 |
| Gravel road |
 |
| Sluice |
A short walk through the woods took me to a gravel road leading to a sluice which is part of the hydro scheme linking the lakes.
 |
| Approaching Jäkkvik |
The trail then follows the edge of a lake to reach Jäkkvik.

| A fine set of moose antlers on a shed outside Jäkkvik |
Jäkkvik is a proper little village with a supermarket and a campsite/lodge with very good facilities.
 |
| Jäkkvik hostel |
There was a interesting mix of people of various nationalities on the campsite and we had some interesting conversations in the camp kitchen.

| Working my way down the trail |
A short day but a good chance to charge up and communicate.
