IIa.6 Section Guttudalskojan - Grövelsjön 32,5 km

The day started the same way as at had stopped last night, a cloudless sky and sunshine all day long. E1 continues following the forest road for a few kilometers. Then it becomes a trail again. It runs near the Norwegian border until turning off to Lake Grövelsjön and the village with the same name. This used to be the starting / ending point of E1. A few years ago it was extended all the way up to North Cape. Since not so long ago there is a trail following mostly established trails from Grövelsjön to a point in Northern Sweden where the borders of Sweden, Norway and Finland meet.

At the village of Grövelsjön there is a big STF mountain station with a good sized store. It is mostly with souvenirs and hiking equipment but the food selection was good enough for me. They had plenty of freeze dried food. I had a nice shower and washed my clothes. Instead of a drier there was a drying room with a heating system where I hung up my laundry. Then I had dinner at the station. It turned out to be a four course buffet stile meal with a separate whine list.
