Sunday, August 11, 2024, Kälaviken to Äskjastugan, 25,56 km, total km 73,2, 9:10 hrs
I slept late but was up early again. I start walking at 5:50 AM. I enjoythe walk; it isn't boring, with lots of ups and downs. After 12 kilometers, I walk through a small town and take my lunch break there. I also get some drinks at the small supermarket nearby. There are benches and a water source, inviting hikers to rest and refill their water bottles.
After the nice break, I start walking again. Dark clouds appear, accompanied by a lot of wind and some drizzle. I reach Äsjastugan after almost 9 hours. There was a rerouting today that took quite a lot of time due to steep climbing.
There is no water at the hut, so I walk back down a hill to the last water source I had seen.
At the hut, there are two young Germans. There are no beds, but two sofas, which they occupy. I find a corner on the floor and set up my sleeping pad there. I would have set up my tent, but there is no suitable spot to do so.
