Day 1:

I set off on my hiking trip with my friend Kasper and his son Thor. We were all excited to get out into nature and explore the beautiful trails. The first day was a bit tough, as we ended up hiking 25 km. It was a bit much for Kasper and Thor, but we were determined to make it to our first campsite. When we finally arrived, we were greeted with an amazing view of a beautiful campsite. We decided to sleep in a shelter instead of setting up our tent.

Day 2:

Unfortunately, Thor wasn't feeling well and ended up coughing all night. Kasper decided it would be best for them to head back home to Denmark, so I was left to continue the trip on my own. I set off early in the morning, determined to make the most of my solo journey. The weather wasn't on my side, as it rained for most of the afternoon. I trudged on, determined to reach my next campsite. However, darkness set in before I could get there, and I was forced to set up my tent outside of the camp grounds after hiking 41 km. It was a tough day, but I was grateful for the opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors.

Day 3:

I woke up to wet shoes and, as a result, wet feet again today. It had begun drizzling when I pulled down my tent. I set off on the trail, walking 12 km to Hoor. As I walked, I wondered if I might be able to find a bed and breakfast along the way. I pulled out my phone and checked for any available accommodations, but all the B&Bs I found were either fully booked or not responding to my inquiries.

Feeling a bit discouraged, I continued on until I stumbled upon a spa hotel. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if they had any rooms available, and to my surprise, they did. I decided to treat myself and booked a room. Not only did I get to relax in the spa, but I also got to dry all my wet items in the hotel's dryer. It was a much needed break after the tough past few

Day 4:

Since I didn't walk much the day before, I knew I had to catch up on my distance. I took a few shortcuts to try and make up for lost time, as I was determined to get through Söderåsen. I knew the terrain there would be more rough and there would be lots of steep paths, so I wanted to make sure I had enough time to navigate through it.

I ended up hiking a total of 37 km that day, which was no small feat considering the difficult terrain and the constant showers. However, I had learned to read the sky and wind and was able to find shelter under a tree every time a shower hit. I managed to get through Söderåsen, but the campground shelter was taken and I didn't feel like pitching my tent in the rain/drizzle. I remembered a B&B that I knew was just a few km along the path, so I called them up and was relieved to find that they had a room available. I made my way there and ended up sharing the evening with 4 amazing old bikers who were on a road trip. We had a great time swapping stories and it was a nice way to end a long day of hiking.

Day 5:

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the final stretch of my hiking trip. It was a bit strange to be spending another night in a bed, and I couldn't help but wonder if this was really a hiking trip or not. However, I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations and set off early in the morning with around 30 km left to go.

The views along the way were amazing, and I felt like I was in a place that was nearly as impressive as Söderåsen, but with fewer people around. The weather was also much more cooperative, with no rain or showers to speak of. It was a lovely day for hiking, and I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the peace and quiet of being out in nature.

When I finally reached the end of my journey, I was sad to see it come to an end. However, the train ride home was lovely and provided a nice chance to reflect on the amazing experiences I had on my trip. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable adventure and one that I will always treasure.
