The long-planned tour with our son to Sweden including a detour to Oslo. Without the women 😉.

After the first night in Sweden we are exploring the area today. I was already at Säven a good 30 years ago, so I have a bit of local knowledge. We then ride our gravel bikes through the forest to Sandsjön, where we want to go fishing later. Everything still looks the same as before. So go back to the mobile and collect a few chanterelles along the way. Unfortunately, the fishing was not successful. But whatever, it was still fun. We are back at the pitch in time for the rain, from now on it will be continuous rain until the next morning.

Wanderung zum Kinnekulle Aussichtsturm
It rained heavily again during the night. Some of the places have water standing on them, some of them look as if there had been a pack of wild boars there. In the meantime it is dry from above and we are sticking to our plan to hike to the observation tower on Kinekulle. An old stone staircase leads into the forest past an old quarry. There are lots of mushrooms 🍄 on the side of the road, unfortunately no chanterelles yet. After a good two hours we arrived at the tower and took a break. Very reasonable prices in the small cafe, 150 kr for a cup of coffee which is very good 👍🏻. Then up to the tower, unfortunately it's already getting dark again and the view of Vänern is worse than good. At least Läckö Castle can be seen. On the “descent” the first chanterelles appear, with plenty more to come. We hike through the woods and at some point the rain catches up with us. The wind makes it really uncomfortable. After almost 4 hours we are back at the motorhome and the water is running out of my hiking boots. Still a very nice tour. In the evening the specially made holder for the dartboard is tested. Functions.

Radtour mit Elch
More or less dry weather today. We want to explore the area on bikes and ride through the forests towards the east. Shortly before we get back on the main road, there is a cow moose on the path, but she quickly disappears into the bushes. No matter, saw the moose 🫎, everything was fine. Then we continue via Gustav Adolf towards the main road to Hagfors. We still find plenty of chanterelles, unfortunately we don't have a proper bag to take all the mushrooms with us. No matter, there are already enough for the two of us. In the evening we test the dart stand 🎯 outside for the first time. Works well here too, the mosquitoes 🦟 are a bit annoying.
Day
Kanutour Klarälven
Sunshine is forecast for today and we have booked a canoe tour on the Klarälven. Shortly after 11:00 a.m. we are taken from the campsite to Fastnäs and from there we return by canoe. Unfortunately, due to all the rain in the previous days, the river has a lot of water, so you can't see all the sandbanks and jetties. But do we even want to invest? A quick stop at the edge of the forest and immediately the mosquitoes 🦟 are back. So quickly get back to the middle of the river. We let ourselves drift along, paddled along a bit, and were back at the campsite after a good three hours. Of course not without taking a rain shower 🌧️ shortly before the finish 😂. All in all, a successful day.
Day
Angeln und Elch 🫎 - Park
Since we had no luck on our first attempt at fishing on Säven, we want to go again today. We use the iFiske app to look for a lake that is easy to reach with a motorhome. Bought the “Fiskekort” online and off you go. We fished from land with spinners and spoons, but this time we had no success. Be that as it may, the focus is on fun. On the way back we go to Värmland Moose Park. We imagined it to be a little different (basically a small zoo with moose), but it's still a great experience. We learn a lot about these beautiful animals and are also allowed to feed them with willow and birch branches. The social behavior of the animals is also very interesting; with a few movements of the ears and head, the cow elk dominates the bull. Almost like in real life 😂. Our time in Byns-Camping ends with a game of darts; tomorrow we head to Oslo.
Day
Byns Camping 13.08.2023
Today we continue to Oslo. Due to the storms in Norway, some roads are closed and we are not making any progress as quickly. We refuel shortly behind the border. Because the Norwegian krone exchange rate is favorable for us, diesel is even cheaper than in Germany.

Ekeberg Camping
Getting to the campsite through Oslo and checking in at the campsite are easy. The place is quite soft due to all the rain, luckily we get a fairly straight place in the upper area. The sanitary building works like this. The showers are pretty dirty and the smell is reminiscent of a large motorway service station.

Zu Fuß in die Stadt
After the day in the car we want to get some exercise. The rain is gone and the sun is even coming out now and then. You can walk into the city through the Ekeberg Sculpture Park. The architecture in the city is impressive. Most comparable to the Hafencity in Hamburg. The opera is the first goal, we don't get much further than that. We are impressed by the many floating saunas, which are very well attended. Cooling off directly in the harbor basin 😂. We treat ourselves to another beer (€9.75) from Norway's northernmost brewery and trudge back to the motorhome before the next rain.

14.08.2023 Oslo mit dem Rad erkunden
After our tour on foot yesterday, we want to cycle through Oslo today. The first destination is Holmenkollen, the mecca of ski jumping in Norway. The journey there goes steadily uphill after the descent from Ekeberg and after two final bends we find ourselves in front of the large ski jump. Absolutely impressive 😳. We skipped the opportunity to rush down the jump on a ZIP line due to the waiting time of over an hour. Instead we look at the biathlon stadium. I get to look through a biathlon rifle and notice that the targets are much smaller than they appear on television. A lot of respect for the athletes who are completely exhausted and clear the targets. We drive to the museum peninsula to get a different view of the city. Unfortunately, time doesn't allow a visit to the museum. This leaves a destination for the next visit to Oslo, especially since the Viking Museum is currently being renovated. With the first raindrops we arrived back at the campsite and didn't really leave our shell that evening.

Our short trip to Norway ends today and we head to the western archipelago coast of Sweden. On the way to our destination in Hunnebostrand we visit the Vitlycke Museum in Tanumshede (vitlyckemuseum.se) with the rock carvings from the Bronze Age and a small open-air museum. As I do on every tour, I buy a tea towel in the museum shop 😂. The country road takes you to Hunnebostrand.

On the way I get a message about paying for the campsite. Everything is problem-free and, above all, cashless 👍🏻. We initially get stuck on the square, which also suffered from all the rain, and only get free again with a lot of difficulty. We are moving to a gravelled area and can get electricity from a Stuga. Another quick exploration of the town and then this day is over.

Smögen, Schweden
August 16, 2023
Since we didn't have any luck with our fishing attempts, but want to eat fish at least once on our tour, we get salmon, smoked fish and a quiche with crabs from the local fishmonger (fiskaffaren.one) in the morning. Afterwards, a tour with the gravel bikes to Smögen is on the agenda. At first the sky is still overcast, but the later it gets, the more the sun comes out. First it goes along gravel paths to the coast, then along the main road to Smögen. A short stop (30 seconds) in the forest for orientation results in eight mosquito bites. Smögen itself is a very beautiful place, but also has a much more touristy feel than other places. We then head back along the coast to Hunnebostrand, of course not without picking up the chanterelles along the way. A delicious appetizer to go with the also very tasty fish. And what would a vacation by the sea be without jumping in at least once?
