The "Troll lake".

A nice day In August 2018 we did a hike to a lake called Trollsjøen across the border to Sweden. The distance from the road to the lake in the bottom of the valley is 6 km.

Rissajaure, also called Trollsjön, is a lake in the Kärkevagge valley in Kiruna Municipality. It is the clearest and purest lake in Sweden and has a visual depth of 34 m, right down to the bottom. It is composed of meltwater from the surrounding glaciers. The lake is ice-covered well into the summer and is only ice-free for three months.

After around 2 km upphils we could see the bottom of the valley where the lake is located.

The hike is very popular as you can see on the well used trail.

Last time I was here there was fog and not possible too look across the lake. It was nice to take the trip in warm summer sun.

If you are in the area I would recommend the hike to Trollsjøen.

This is one of my good memories from the summer 2019 in contrast to storm and heavy rain outside now in Januar.

Have a nice evening.

That is nice summer holiday, looks quite warm and you had luckily nice weather. I like the rocks in general, I recall all the fairy tales from my childhood when I look at funny shaped ones. The lake is so clean and calm.

Thank you @stef1. Yes the valley and rocks relates to fairy tales 😊
