Fulufjället NP and Röros, Norway

Few weeks back we were off on mini pre-vacation holiday :) Which actually starts today and early tomorrow morning we are flying down to our summer house in Croatia
Anyway, back to the mini holiday -
The weekend started with a long drive up to Mörkret, a small village near Fulufjället National Park. We were staying there for one night as to see Sweden's highest waterfall (Njupeskär 125m fall)
which was just a rather easy few km walk even though we arrived rather late.
Following morning we continued our journey towards Funäsfjällen where we would be staying for three  nights but why take the shortest way? We took a detour through Norway and stopped in a copper mining town Röros what stopped mining 1977 but made it on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Will be taking few lenses with me to Croatia so you have some more pics to look forward to later on :))

Ulvön, high coast

The second day during our visit at Höga Kusten we visited island Ulvön. The island is situated in Örnsköldsvik archipelago, in the heart of the Höga Kusten (High Coast). Actually Ulvön is two islands - North and South Ulvön. Ulvö-harbour is located on the north island, well protected in Ulvösundet.

Ulvön is perhaps best known for surströmming (fermented herring), produced on the island for over a hundred years.
During winter months only about 40 people live on Ulvön, but during the summers it comes to life, with many tourists and summer house owners.

High Coast Skuleskogens nationalpark

We spent midsummer weekend visiting my father who was staying at a camping near Skuleberget. Was a perfect match as we have for a while talked about hiking and explore the area.
During the midsummer eve we were off to Skuleskogen National Park which was established in 1984 and covers 3062 hectares. We entered the parkfrom south, since we wanted to walk through Slåttdalsskrevan, Tärnättvattnen and then a walk back along the sea. A round trip of about 12km, 4hours with all photo breaks and view gazing :)
There are two other entrees; west and north, and they are of course more suitable depending on what you want to see. You can find anything from old pine forests, amazing views of sea and lakes, high mountains and valleys. As this part has rather rapidly emerged from the sea there are more intriguing geological phenomena here than anywhere else in Sweden.
