Trip description

We will meet at IKSU Sport on Saturday morning. From there, we will travel together to Västermark Nature Reserve near Botsmark. From the parking area, we will follow an easy hiking trail of about 2 kilometers until we reach the cabin, where we will spend the rest of the weekend. Once we arrive, we will have lunch and get familiar with the area.

After we’ve settled in, a full day and evening of exciting activities await us — everything from pitching tents and building fires to trying traditional crafts such as tablet weaving and nalbinding. We will also serve a two-course dinner cooked over an open fire.

After spending time around the fire, we will head to bed and sleep either in tents or in the cabin. On Sunday morning, we will enjoy a nice breakfast, pack up our gear, and head back to IKSU Sport.
