Tjäktja - Sälka We want to cross the Tjäktjapass (1140 meters above sea level) before the wind starts to increase. The forecast says 20 meters per second. View over Tjäktjavagge from the Tjäktjapass. Steep down to the valley where Tjäktjajåkka winds its way. In several places the river spreads out to shallow water collections.

Sälka, restday 1 The cold is worse. Will be a day of rest. I get walk on the slope towards the valley Stuor-Räitavagge to the Nallo cabin. Nice autumn colors with a view to the Sälka cabins and the mountains behind. The ground shines in red.

Sälka, restday 2 Will be one more day of rest today. I give myself away along Tjäktjajåkka. There is a ford place where it spreads, but it looks too deep for my boots. Before the where it spreads runs the jåkk through a ravine. Walk slowly, sit down and enjoy the mountain world.
