Four days on Sörmlandsleden


Hiking on Sörmlandsleden (map overview), legs 13:1, 14, 15, (part of 15:2) and 15:1. This was our general rehearsal for our 14 day hiking tour in Padjelanta, the following month. Although southern Sweden does not have the massive mountains as up in the north, we still were able to find a nice part of the Sörmlandsleden trail with fairly tough elevations.
