    Das war hart - und dennoch: Erkenntnisse

    August 14 in Sweden

    Wir sind jetzt glücklich und zufrieden nach etwa 120 km seit Trelleborg im Hostel in Helsingborg abgekommen. Nach der Nacht im Schlafsessel auf der Fähre und der heutigen Gewalttour über Land- und Hauptstraßen sowie Feldwege werden wir schlafen wie die Bären.
    Die letzten 23 km von Landskrona nach Helsingborg hatten es besonders in sich. Nicht nur, weil wir schon recht platt waren und die Straße sich entschlossen hatte, uns mit langen Steigungen zu provozieren. Der Wind hatte hatte sich auch entschlossen, uns von vorne grantig entgegenzublasen.
    Genug des Gejammer. Ich komme zu unseren Erkenntnissen:
    1. Das e-Bike scheint ein süddeutsches Phänomen zu sein. Schon hinter Berlin gab es kaum e-Biker. Über den Öresund scheint die Neuerung gar nicht gekommen zu sein.
    2. Kurz hinter Berlin verschwand das Signet unseres Fernradwegs im Gewirr von 20 anderen. Je weiter wir auf dem Weg aber radelten, desto weniger wurden die Konkurrenten.
    3. Es gibt Gegenden, da triffst du alle 10 Minuten einen Fernradler, es gibt andere wie hier. Da triffst du fast gar keine.
    4. Wenn man Kilometer frisst, bleibt keine Zeit für Kultur.
    5. Angeblich kommt in Schweden der Sommer wieder.
    Das war es erstmal. Die junge Dame im Interview arbeitet übrigens hier im Hostel und hat ein interessantes Hobby.    Read more

    Endlich auf dem Kattegattleden

    August 15 in Sweden

    Seit Helsingborg sind wir auf dem Kattegattleden, einem Fernradweg, der diese Stadt mit Göteborg verbindet. Alles was gestern scheußlich war, ist jetzt schön. Statt Industrieanlagen und Massenlandwirtschaft gibt es hier anmutige Hügel, die zu einem wunderbaren Meer hinab schwingen. Statt Fernstraßen gibt einen ideal ausgebauten Radweg, der an den schönsten Stellen vorbei geht.

    Und doch sind wir froh, dass wir von der Hauptroute abgewichen sind. Nach Ängelholm, einer beschaulichen Kleinstadt mir einer hervorragenden Bäckerei, sind wir nach Vejbystrand, wo sich angeblich das Prekariat der schwedischen Millionäre tummelt. Moderne Architektur ohne Zäune und Sicherungswahnsinn. Dann ging es auf kleinen Straßen nach Båstad. Und auf diesem Weg, entdeckten wir Jeppes Weingarten. Leider darf er seinen Wein nur auf seinem Gut ausschenken. Sonst hätte wir bestimmt ein paar Flaschen mitgenommen.
    Jetzt sind wir im Vandrarhem in Båstad.    Read more

    Hej - Von Trelleborg nach Malmö

    August 14 in Sweden

    Am längsten haben wir gebraucht, den Weg aus Trelleborg hinaus zu finden. Was uns auffällt : Die Autofahrer fahren sehr entspannt, sind auch uns Radfahrern gegenüber zuvorkommend und sind, was den Müll am Straßenrand betrifft die gleichen Schmutzbären wie wir.
    Jetzt genießen wir in Malmö gerade Kaffee und Hörnchen. Ob wir es bis Helsingborg schaffen? Das wäre noch einmal mindestens 60 km.

    Nachtrag: Helsingborg

    August 15 in Sweden

    Irgendwie ist mir ein Eintrag aus Helsingborg verloren gegangen, den ich jetzt brav nachliefere: Die Stadt ist großartig, besonders bei Sonnenschein. Sie hat sogar etwas Italienisches mit den engen Gassen und der über dem Hafen ruhenden Burg. Dem Hafen etwas vorgelagert ist ein Aussichtspunkt, von dem aus man den Schiffsverkehr beobachten und nach Helsingør in Dänemark blicken kann. Dort trafen wir Christian, einen Schauspieler im Ruhestand. Dass die Bildqualität nicht die beste ist, liegt daran, dass ich auf dem Display nichts gesehen habe.Read more

    Wir versuchen heute Kilometer zu fressen

    August 14 in Sweden

    Warum? Weil wir Rückenwind haben! Weil es einfach nur flach ist. Und weil wir dann, wenn der Kattegatradweg anfängt, keinen Stress haben wollen.
    Jetzt gibt es dagens rett, das gut bezahlbare Lunchmenü. Ganz schwedisch: zweimal Pizza mit Cola.

    Arriving in Sweden! Country #9

    May 27, 2017 in Sweden

    Today was Day 7 of our big trip to Sweden and there were 403km left to Gothenburg. The sun rose early and the day grew hot quickly. Fortunately the blown air in the van provided relief once we got going.

    We skirted around Copenhagen, through the 4km Drogden tunnel under the sea, surfacing at the artificial island of Peberholm before climbing up on to the 7.8km long Øresund Bridge, the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe. Funnily enough it is a lot shorter than the 18km road bridge we took yesterday, but it was still a cool experience, especially when we entered Sweden while still on the bridge! It was one we payed for, the toll being 720DKK or £90!

    Sweden is the 9th country we plan to tour. There were a few changes we noticed when driving along the motorway; the different road signs, the many red painted barns and a few red houses sitting on the edge of fields, we even saw a couple of classic wooden windmills.

    Denmark's motorway rest areas had been relatively frequent and well layed out with good facilities. It seemed a long time before we came accross one one in Sweden and when we did it was packed. There weren't any van services as there had been in Denmark and there weren't many marked bays, so people made up their own system (to give them credit it was a sensible one). Picnic tables had been provided, but there was a lot of noise from engines and people shouting to make themselves heard. The area looked grimy with litter so we stayed in to eat lunch.

    We saw a few IKEAs and there were a lot of McDonalds, KFCs and Burger Kings along the way. We'd been worried about the cost of living in Sweden so were pleased to find a Lidl and to discover that the prices weren't too exorbitant.

    There is often a lot to take in when entering a new country and our Lidl shop was our first experience of brushing shoulders with the Swedes. Many seemed taller than we were used to and it was a very quiet atmosphere.

    There was beer, but no wine or spirits; these are only sold at government-run shops. All the cans and bottles had deposits included in the price and there were machines where you could return them at the entrance. Alongside the beer, which was all under 3.5%, there were energy drinks, with signs telling us that only those of 15 years or older could by them. The cigarettes in the cabinet by the checkout had a minimum purchase age of 25.

    Country specific products included giant circular crispbreads and pitta-like breads packaged up and sold as an ordinary loaf. Something we've not seen in Lidl in any other country was a sweety pic'n'mix counter! It brought back memories of the Woolworths shop at our summer holiday destination in the 1980s and 90s, Stranraer in SW Scotland.

    We found home for the night at an elongated car park, quite near the road and some woods in Ängelholm. We'd done 166km but felt shattered.    Read more

    Exploring Ängelholm

    May 28, 2017 in Sweden

    There is a video of us exploring Ängelholm on VnW Travels' YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/f-SiioONtSw

    There were just 225km between us and Gothenburg so we decided to give ourselves a break and stay 2 nights at Ängelholm. The afternoon we arrived was warm, so we set out walking along the well signed trails through the woods to the beach. The sun filtered between the tall tree trunks and full foliage. Tiny white, star shaped flowers sprinkled the floor which was soft and springy with fallen needles. The gentle smell of the pines infused the air but there was a good mix of coniferous and deciduous trees. The only downside were the mosquitos who bit us if we stayed still for more than a few seconds! After about half an hour the path became considerably sandier and we emerged to low dunes covered with spiky marram grass. Down some wooden stairs and we were on the beautiful sandy beach, scattered with sun bleached shells. The water was clear and there wasn't even a hint of the smell of rotting weed this time. Will enjoyed his swim and Vicky had a good paddle. Evening was coming on so instead of braving the mosquitos in the woods we made our way back along the beach and up the quiet road. We even saw a slow worm slithering away at the side of the pavement and a red squirrel scampering along low branches, just a few meters from us, its rich rust coloured coat almost glowing in the evening light.

    The following day we took the tandem along the cycle tracks to Ängelholm. It was a good sized town but we again noticed that quiet atmosphere we'd picked up on when shopping yesterday. There was a feeling of space with a pedestrianised central area and while there were a few decorative touches, such as a fountain, planters with yellow and orange pansies and a small town park on the outskirts, you got the sense things had been designed with practicality and purpose in mind. We didn't need anything but we took a look round the government-run off licence, the only place allowed to sell alcohol stronger than beer. The drinks were nicely set out and every one displayed their country of origin. The cheapest wine we could find was £6 a bottle so we were very glad Will had cut down significantly on his weekly intake!    Read more

    Vistorp's Harbour

    May 30, 2017 in Sweden

    It was a short hop to Vistorp's Harbour where we were able to stay in the car park of a Nature Reserve (for a maximum of 24 hours). We could see why this restriction was in place; it was very close to a sandy beach and the low dunes had a stark beauty to them. Shrub roses were dotted with large bright pink flowers, paler pink Thrift grew in drifts and the Wild Pansies were so small you could only see them if you stopped and looked. Close up, the colours of the flowers stood out intensely against the washed out sand and grasses in this harsh environment.

    There were only a few boats moored in the small harbour, where the smell of the sea was once again strong! The temperature had cooled so Will opted to sit on the end of the boardwalk and fish. We had a wander through the reserve where there were a few holiday homes and a couple of tasteful beach huts. At the next car park along there were well kept toilets and Will was able to empty our cassette.

    In the afternoon the sky turned a dark grey and the rain came on and off. It felt more like the sort of holidays we were used to in Scotland and we were quite happy watching the wildlife from inside the comfort of the van. We even spotted a Great Grey Shrike, a small bird we weren't familiar with but that seemed friendly as it perched on a rock to check us out!    Read more

    Lillsjön & Lärkesholmssjön Woodland

    September 13, 2017 in Sweden

    Will had scoured Park4Night and found us a lovely spot to spend our last couple of nights in Sweden. At the end of a 1km grit track we parked up in a small woodland clearing in between two lakes; Lillsjön (the little lake) and Larkesholmssjön (the larger one). On Lillsjön's shore was a firepit with grill and a store of split logs keeping dry under a specially made shelter. We were tempted with a fire but the wet weather both nights put paid to that idea! We had parked under a large Beech tree and on the day we arrived, it rained so heavily that it sounded as if pebbles were being thrown on to the van roof!

    Luckily, despite thunderstorms being forecast for the second day, it turned out dry and we were even treated to some spells of sunshine! A few walkers and joggers were lured out by this fine Swedish weather but the area remained incredibly quiet. We decided to take the 6km marked trail around Lärkesholmssjön and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, savouring the peaceful lake and forest as we went. The path was well maintained but it seemed that even Sweden wasn't used to the amount of rain we'd had. The streams, river and bogs we crossed had burst their banks and as we waded through 30cm of water we were very glad we'd had the foresight to wear wellies!

    The forest was a mixture of mature Beech and pines, its floor carpeted with a bright green moss that almost seemed to glow in the shade of the trees. These areas were dotted with a myriad of fungi, from miniscule mushrooms only a few mm tall to thick bracket growths climbing up rotting trunks, looking sturdy enough to use as steps. As we approached the hamlet of Lärkesholm, we passed several boats and a canoe, hauled up on the grass. We love that people are able to leave their belongings in places such as these, with no locks or chains, trusting they will be safe.

    We returned to the van and enjoyed Will's home made pizza and some red wine for tea as is becoming our custom on the final night we spend in a country.    Read more

    Forsakar Wasserfall - ein zauberhafter O

    June 10 in Sweden

    Dank google Maps haben wir diesen zauberhaften Ort gefunden. Nach etwa 1km Fußmarsch über kleine Wanderpfade, die denen im Bergischen Land ähneln ;-) erreicht man den Wasserfall im Forsakar Naturschutzgebiet.

    We found this wonderful place via Google Maps. We followed a narrow path that led for 1 km through the woods. There it was: the nice, little waterfall of Forsakar. We highly recommend this place for a short but very beautiful nature excursion.Read more
