6th of December and about a hidden diamond…

After over 40 years in the Swedish mountains it is always nice to find new spots. This year I got two new favourites. One I already have told you about, the Bydalen area. And here comes the next; the Offerdals mountains. Far into and hidden in the north west parts of Jamtland, it is located. Like a hidden treasure. The area is quite unknown, but this is like a small Sarek. You probably will not meet any others while you are trekking here. There is almost no trails, but there are valleys and naturally paths you can follow. Mjolkvattsmountain will be the highest peak in the are with 1247m. You can start from Langasdalen, Frankrike or Jansmassholmen. Here you will reach a real wilderness area. If you park at Frankrike, why dont you take a hike up to the Oldklumpen peak. From here you will have a magical view of the area. If you chose to get into the are with tent I can suggest a visit of the peak of Himmelsraften. If the weather is auspicious you will have a really nice view from here.

So thank you Markus Nyman for presenting me for this area.

The book suggestion of the day will be the Rådjursmannen. The author Geoffroy Delorme live his life together with a herd of deers, and spend seven year of his life in the nature with the animals, and he become the deer-man (Sv. Rådjursmannen). the book is poetically written, and a tribute to the nature and the wild animals.
