August 13, 2024,Tag 8 - Kungsleden from Hemavan to Abisko - Etappe 7

Today was another exhausting walk up and down stony paths.
Many people I met had problems with their feet. Probably because of the constant wetness.

For me it was just my knees when I went downhill.

Today the destination is Jäckvick and we all think about food all day long because there is a big supermarket there.
