    About to head their tomorrow for a week of hiking with four of my best friends from high school. We started a tradition of a week of hiking every year during covid in 2020 and are now celebrating the fifth anniversary with a trip abroad. We were all tasked to bring a hike proposal to the sauna during christmas to vote for which option to go for (we are all from Sweden and sauna is just... sauna).
    As we are all spread out around the world this week is a great way to stay connected from many months apart. This video made me want to go here, thanks for sharing!

I did it last month so it should be very similar now as it was in the video 😊 so it was about 16km, I’d recommend hiking the way I did from valbone to Theth as it’s a slower incline and so a nicer way to hike, in Theth heading to the waterfall and the blue lagoon as they are amazing 🙌🏼
