A beautiful forest hike with lots of experiences and good conversations....
The path is almost completely unpaved, but the rain has made it very muddy in places.
Tomte isn't here at the moment, he wants to be back in the fall. I'll visit him again then.

The visit to the small forest chapel is fulfilling.
