Völån - Rosttjärnen hut

Via Mångsbodarna, Risberg

Wednesday 22 September 2021

I woke up to a calm morning, with the sun greeting me when I finally decided to crawl out from my tent. It was so wonderful to finally get to see it again, after a week hidden behind clouds. It didn't last very long though, but I was happy I got to see it at all.

Today was a slow day, despite the good trail conditions that I was getting. To pass the time I surfed on my phone a lot while walking, which helped. Not much happened today. I met two people by a shelter that I said hi to, and in Mångsbodarna I took a loooong break and had lunch.

When I got going again, I was way more late than I'd meant to - as usual, so I walked even faster now to make up for it. I walked on a really cozy fäbod path, with signs that I had to stop and read along the way. Luckily, I'm quite a fast reader so I could soon keep going again. It was a really cool area though! After this, the road got more boring, and more hilly too, and the sun was about to set.

Finally, in the dim twilight I crossed through the old fäbodvallar in Risberg, which I believe to be an amazing area in summer, and came to Rosttjärnen hut. Here I hang up the tent to dry, made a fire and just generally chilled and took it slow. Unfortunately it soon became too hot for me, which made it almost impossible to sleep! 😬 So I lay awake several more hours, before finally falling asleep to the sound of some light rain outside.

The old fäbod path had really interesting and informative signs along the way.

Back in the days they had weird beliefs, this “widåbude” was one of them.
