Tag 13 - Valleys, Forests, and the Kroken Waterfall

Today was all about sleeping in. Afterwards, due to the unpredictable weather, I enjoyed a substantial breakfast with plenty of time for reading and sorting pictures. At some point, I felt the urge to move and rode a few kilometers to a larger stream in Kroken. I had intended to hike up to the summit. However, it turned out that the hiking route was supposed to go through this stream (probably more like a river), where I would have ended up at least knee-deep in water. So, I turned back 3/4 of the way to the summit. Nevertheless, it was a very lovely hike, always accompanied by the sound of the rushing river, and it was relatively gentle uphill. (Almost) At the top, I also scrambled a bit among the rubble, hoping to find a denser spot where I could cross the river - no luck. I rode my bike to my usual route here in Tromsdalen and took a little stroll on the established hiking paths, which turn into a cross-country skiing paradise in winter. The intense shades of green of the various trees and meadows were an absolute feast for the eyes, even though it was completely overcast.
