Sto camminando in Norvegia a sud a nord e presto arrivo a Kilpisjärvi. Stavo guardando questo percorso ma non sono sicuro che si tratti di un percorso e se i fiumi sono incrociati a piedi. Se non sono incrociabili a piedi, ma il terreno è buono, porterò una barca gonfiabile da attraversare.
Ho anche aggiunto una foto di una linea nera con punti. Che cos’è?
Qualcuno ha conoscenza del terreno e/o qualche consiglio?

Black line with dots is stone fence or wall
I’d say that the black line with dots is a reindeer fence, quite high but usually has some kind of gates
Rommaeno has some wadable crossings, Poroeno only quite a bit north of your planned route (near Porojärvi).
I’d much rather take a northern route, either just the marked/well used Nordkalotten/Arctic Trail, or at least use that to go to Norway north of Porojärvi. I don’t know the Norwegian terrain, but on the Finnish side you’ll be doing a ton of marsh / low wet birch bush.
The biggest hazards you might face are the uneven terrain and swampland (shown as blue stripes on your map). Watch Geowizard’s youtube video where he crosses Norway in a straight line and you’ll get a good idea of the terrain. Swamps are treacherous and there is a point where he nearly gets stuck in one.
Look up what peat moss looks like, when you see that it may seem like solid land but is often actually swamp with deep pockets that you really don’t want to fall in. Usually a good rule is that you can step on vegetation that doesn’t look like moss, but please check with a stick if you’re uncertain. Preferably you would stick to animal and human paths only. Also do not count on being able to cross rivers, sometimes they flood and you will be stuck.

Merkkienselite is the word. Swamps are quite annoying in F.
