Medby – Sulitjelma

Rode on the E6 to the north for a few kilometers, then I took a shortcut and turned east towards Rv830 to Sulitjelma. This shortcut involved some nasty climbs on dirt tracks.

Sulitjelma is an old mining town, and very close to the Swedish border. The mines are defunct now but one of them can be visited. Unfortunately, I was late for today’s guided tour, so I only visited the mining museum. Met a French couple on the campsite who’d done a 200km hike from Sweden to here. Also visited another mining village nearby called Jakobsbakken. Cycled 55km today.
