New bridges were built here, which slightly rerouted the path.

Storuman Station Building from 1923

Storuman station building from 1923

Storuman, in the heart of Swedish Lapland, is a scenic town surrounded by deep forests, mountains, and lakes. A gateway to the mountain region, it offers excellent fishing, outdoor adventures, and easy access via the Inlandsbanan railway. Home to Sweden’s third deepest lake and the country’s largest wooden church, Storuman is a perfect spot for nature and adventure lovers.

After the Samí settlement continue to follow the path. It is sometimes difficult to find a place at the top, but you can reach the lake. Saw 2 herds of reindeer.

Small, cute DNT hut, about 12 km from the road at Umbukta Fjellstue. The hut has two bedrooms and a large living room/kitchen with a gas stove and wood stove. It is in very good condition and the surroundings are amazing. Due to its higher location and surrounded by higher mountains (for Norwegian standards), it is surrounded by large and small snow fields well into the summer, which can make the approach more difficult and it can be very cold up here even in July. But the view from the sofa directly onto the lake makes up for everything! More information: https://ut.no/hytte/1093

This part is really very tiring. If the water level is high, the DNT recommends not taking this route. This makes sense as the path has partially slipped into the lake. When it rains, the stones are sometimes very slippery. An alternative when the water level is low is to walk directly along the bank. But be careful, the lake is regulated (dam)!

Two refurbished bridges spanning Lake Tärnasjön.
