On to Snartemo (love that name)

The day started with a wonderful 3 k downhill run, so much easier than yesterday’s 3 k uphill. As ever the views were good.

Then a break(fast) at Harry’s Bakery – not many places open at 6am

I followed the river upstream for some 35 k with the only people around being fly fishermen.

I am amazed at the number of waterfalls everywhere and the constant sound of water cascading. Along the way were houses tucked against towering cliffs.

Finally I reached Snartemo and this wonderful sculpture. It just needed a Nordic God to come and claim the sword.

And finally the railway. The station is in a valley gap in the mountains where the railway emerges from one 8 k tunnel before re-entering another 9 k tunnel less than a kilometre later.
