The first hiking days on spring 2026 - Day 6 Around the Sävsjö at Grums
9 °C, sunny, calm
The scenery around Lake Sävsjö was typically Swedish. The path ran very close to the small, tranquil lake. In places it was a bit stony and there were lots of roots on the ground. Despite the dense forest, we enjoyed full sunshine throughout the entire walk.

Oxögabergsrundan - Tiveden
Start Metesjön, viel auf und ab.
Wie immer im Tiveden superschöne Landschaft und Ruhe. Wege gesäumt von Blaubeer und den roten Lingonbeeren am gesamten Waldboden. Die ganze Zeit über ein herrlicher Kiefernduft in der Nase.
Und zum Abschluss gab's dann über Feuer gegrillte Steaks am Zeltplatz/shelter Metesjön.

Kvälls runda Sjötorp - Lyrestad - Hova
Kleine Runde über den Radweg am Götakanal und der Hoffnung schon einige Blaubeeren jagen zu können.
Leider keinen Erfolg dabei gehabt, aber der Abschluss des Tages mit einem kvälls dopp bei Skagersvik war herrlich. Das Wasser beinahe wärmer als die Luft. 😃

And in the Delebäck area, I once again saw almost all of Sweden's Big 4 animals: deer staring at you from the clearing or standing on the road after the next bend. A moose on the road at the top of a hill. Unfortunately, it was against the sun, so no photo possible. 😔
From a distance, I first thought
