Exploring Trollsjön: A Hiker's Paradise in Abisko National Park

This photograph was taken during a hike in Abisko National Park in mid-July 2023, specifically on our journey to Trollsjön, a mountain lake situated at an elevation of 815 meters above sea level. We had heard that this lake is renowned as Sweden's clearest, with an impressive visibility depth of 36 meters. We embarked on our adventure from the E10 parking lot, well-equipped with a map, hiking poles, a picnic, and an abundance of insect repellent. Along the trail, we were treated to captivating vistas as we meandered through a picturesque birch forest, although we did have to contend with a fair share of insects. After conquering a challenging steep climb, we were rewarded with a panoramic view that unveiled the beauty of the Kärkevagge valley. This valley showcased magnificent rock formations, remnants of the ancient inland ice, scattered throughout its landscape. As we trekked further, we encountered small streams gushing with crystal-clear, cold mountain water. The photograph on display captures just one of the many stunning vistas we came across on our way to our final destination: the hidden gem of Trollsjön - Trollsjön, Abisko National Park, Sweden.
