Icefishing trip to Elgå
U Feryho desky
V sobotu 3/12 probehlo slavnostni odhaleni pametni desky Feryho. I pres mrazive pocasi dorazilo hodne lidi, pod skalou znela, i pres promrzle prsty, ziva hudba (diky Karabino, diky Zizalo!), zaznelo, co zaznit melo. A po kratkem posezeni v hospode pod Hradem jsme jeste stihli pod vedenim Pawla nahlednout do Macochy, kde ten vikend zrovna Adam Ondra prostupoval volne Priklepovy strop - to by se Ferymu libilo:) Krasny, i kdyz bez Feryho smutny den v Krase.

Odhaleni pametni desky Ferymu
Podarilo se nam vymyslet, vyrobit a nainstalovat pametni desku - vzpominku na naseho draheho pritele Feryho. S myslenkou prisla Lenka Benesova, Josef Borkovec vytvoril navrh a Pavel Weisser to zrealizoval. Ja psal e-maily a zajistil, ze prijmeni Pipal je na desce spravne a to znamena s kratkym "i". V sobotu 3/12 v 11:00 budeme na Holstejne pod skalou a posleze v hospode Pod Hradem, kdo se chce pridat, je vitan.
Culinary expedition to Femundsmarka

We left our car in Jonasvollen and crossed Femund lake with MS Fæmund II boat (the boat is operation since 1905!) to Haugen. From there, we hiked 7 days to Røa and took the boat back to Jonasvollen. In total around 55 km (plus 8 km side trip to Litle Vonsjøen for me and Louka). The route and positions of our camping spots are marked on the map above. |

After few minutes, Louka got this beautiful mountain trout (over 1 kg) in this lake. What an amazing and promising start! And the biggest fish of our trip... |

Our first camping spot was situated next to Skogtjønna. This only night I slept in the tent, otherwise I spent nights under the sky. |

There are some sandy beaches! This one is on Øvre Roasten. |

Vit on the bridge over a stream between Litlbuddhåen and Rogshåen. Louka spotted a monster trout swimming under. We also saw a squirrel running across the bridge. |

On the way back to the camp across Rogsvola mountain we experienced impressive sunset over Femundsmarka. |

We visited Sweden for one night as well. Obviously, nature was greener and the variety of animals was greater than in Norway. |

Sømåkvolvet
The primary goal of this short weekend trip was to pick up a lot of cloudberries near Vestby/Trysil. But I found the fields empty. I came too late and managed to pick up just a little (= enough for one small jar of marmalade). So I continued further north to Femundsmarka, to test my new fishing rod. The aim was to explore Sømåkvolvet, a lower elevation mountain range next to Isteren lake, with old pine trees (small area with burned trees as well), moss covered ground and moraine ridges. And many small lakes located almost next to each other (see the map below).
