This post covers Stage 15, Kaserna-Metsjö, of the
official guide to the trail.
You can also check out my report on the section before this one (going southbound), Stage 16.
If you have not already read the introduction to this trail guide, you can check it out by clicking here. It has a list of reports on other sections I have hiked plus other important/useful background information in general--so please read the introduction first before reading my reports.

* Another gem of a hike, though it is a longer stage at 17.5km. You can take your time in this section if you wish, however, as there are many trail shelters--one of which is a mini-cabin which is fully enclosed and even has a small wood stove. Have your water bottles and purification system (if you have one, some bold people drink water raw) handy, as you can fill up conveniently at many places on this lengthy stretch of trail. I have found that the running water from springs/streams is colder and tastes better than lake or big river water.
Speaking of springs and streams, I lost count of all the little babbling water sources on the first part of the stage as you follow along Munkedalsälven. There is also a decent shelter on the riverbank, where I stopped to have some dinner.
