A snowshoe promenade
Day 27 of my winter journey 2018
Today our current host Chris took half a day off and we (Chris, Annika, I and two dogs) made a trip into the valley Pasvikdalen. There’s a small place called Strand where we parked our cars at the former boarding school, nowadays a museum. Here we started a small small snowshoe tour up the Brattberget.
Brattberget means the “steep mountain” but first of all the mountain is more like a hill and then the way up is not steep as all. First we went through denser forest, then then forest and the view opened a bit. Soon we were up on the top of the hill.
There’s a toilet and two benches on the Brattberget. While the benches were covered with snow, the toilet was still visible.
The weather was nice and we had a great view. To the north and west of the lake Langfjordvatnet / Uhcavuonjávri, to the south, remote in the distance of Russia.
After a short rest in the sun and some photos we descended the same way we went up and soon were at our parked cars again. A short and nice snowshoe tour through the hilly and wintry Pasvikdalen.

Annika Kramer: Ich fand das nicht sonderlich steil, auch wenn ich den Weg nicht mit Skiern Schuss gefahren wäre.
Johanna: Danke für den Tipp.
