Day 20: To Skogalund and back to Orebro

It was pretty cool in the morning, but not raining so we decided to take a walk down to Kultsjärn– but no swimming today – the wind was very cool!

 

No wi-fi but Sudoku still works

It’s been a very wet summer and the walk down to the lake ended up with some very wet feet. The boggy bit was very wet and very boggy. The blueberries are starting to ripen - still some more growing to do but very tasty – but we did leave plenty for the wild life.

Breakfast is finished - time to pack up!

At the lookout

Looks a bit cold and windy

We tested the water temperature and it actually didn’t feel too bad – compared with the air temperature.  So we just looked out over the water and remembered past visits.

Soon it was time to pack up and head up towards Skogalund.  Anders went ahead, so that we could just have a quick look at the Loppis up along the way.  But this time I didn’t find anything to buy, tho Karina came away with a book about cooking potatis!

Quiet time to say goodbye to Finnafallet

Sadersala is too busy catching flies to say goodbye

Kitchen in Skogalund - bread oven!

The sun was still hiding behind the clouds but the rain was holding off.  We checked out the pizza menu then called through an order for lunch.  So Agnete and I headed off to Hällefors to collect them.  Skogalund has had several changes since I was there 2 years ago, but there is still a lot to go.  We sat up in the Uggla room – but no sign of ugglas (ie baby owls) this time.  It is quite cold up there compared to the lower room where the kitchen stove is.

Still no wi-fi

Welcome flowers

Blueberries for the picking

Yep, we're in Sweden

Lookout - forests and lakes galore

Then it was time to leave – this time Anders was driving and we went up to the lookout to look over the lakes and forest district.  From there it is amazing just how far the lakes and forests stretch out – with only an occasional house in view. 

Eventually we arrived back in Örebro – and somehow Agnete magic ‘ked up kantarella cooked to perfection in real butter, with toast and garlic or herb butter for garnish – yummo!!!
