July 8, 2025,Kungsleden Etappe 2| Teusajaure - Kaitumjaure

Today, a short hike from Teusa to Kaitum, about 9 km.
Initially, a short climb through a birch grove, with a waterfall rushing to the left.
Once at the top, a fantastic view. The path winds through the landscape, sometimes as a rocky path, sometimes over wooden planks.
Small lakes dot the landscape, very idyllic.
Then we cross the Kaitumjakka …

The penultimate day. You cross some stone fields and finally have a very steep and slippery descent to Teusejaure. Very idyllically located on a huge lake that tempts you to go swimming after a sauna session.

Very serious. 4:45 a.m. – really? I blink sleepily… Shortly before 6 a.m., the two quietly leave the hut. Their discipline is contagious: gradually, the other …

Fortunately, the forecast that it would stay dry today did not come true. Of the 9 kilometers I walked more than 7 in the rain. This feels familiar again 🤣
The stage is short, but still quite tough. You walk from lake (jaure) to lake and in between you have to cross a mountain. Again a beautiful landscape that looks …

July 15, 2023,Kungsleden 2023 - Day 4 - Kautumjaure-Teusajaure

Easy on paper, this day will also be so in practice. We cross the river quite early before a long, but slightly steep, climb to a wide plateau. The descent to Lake Teusajaure and the eponymous hut is much steeper and it is just over a kilometer that you lose the elevation accumulated during the previous eight. The place is …
