Some windfall over the track, but not too bad. The track itself is a bit ovegrown but well marked. Quite muddy at places. It took me 1 hour 15 minutes from Nina with the last bits of daylight and 1 hour 45 minutes in the dark from Upper Nina Biv to Nina hut

Really nice biv in great condition. Track from Nina hut (around 3h) is a little bit muddy. We drank the river water without problem.
