Route description for Southern Sweden in September


Southern Sweden in September

By ferry from Rostock to southern Sweden (September 4th - 22nd). Without the big cities, let's look around southern Sweden. In Sweden, tourism is already being curtailed at the beginning of September, and the receptions are no longer manned at numerous campsites or motorhome parking spaces. Also has advantages ;-)

☍ 33,0 km ( 31 min.)

Tobisviks Camping, Tobisvägen, Simrishamn, Schweden

From Käseberga we went to the above campsite. Very clean and located directly on the Baltic Sea. Priced one of the more expensive places with about 30 euros for everything.

But there wasn't much going on anymore.

☍ 27,2 km ( 23 min.)

SJÖSTUGANS CAMPING, Bökhultsvägen, Älmhult, Schweden

The campsite is in a very rustic location in the forest on the outskirts of Älmhult. Direct access to the lake is probably a hit, especially in summer.

Autofriedhof Kyrkö Mosse, Värendsgatan, Ryd, Schweden

Getnö Gård - Lake Åsnen Resort, Ryd, Schweden

The most beautiful campsite in our holiday this year.

A place laid out over terraces in the middle of the forest. Located directly at Åsnen.

We felt so comfortable that we immediately extended one more night here. However, it has its price: in the front row 36 euros. We were all alone the first night, and on the second night we had neighbors within earshot.

Karlskrona, Schweden

Karlskrona. We only make a short flying visit, because we don't particularly like the place. Unfortunately, there are construction sites everywhere, so that the sights are not easy to reach.

About 50 km before Kalmar we land at Bergkvara on this campsite. Here, too, the reception is no longer manned. Short call: stand where you want. :-) The season is over, we're a bit surprised.

Kapelludden Camping o Stugor

Trollskogen, Trollskogsvägen, Byxelkrok, Schweden

We drive to the north of Öland and look around the Trollskogen National Park. It's nice here, a hike of about 6 km leads through the forest and always along the Baltic Sea.

☍ 10,4 km ( 14 min.)

Neptuni Camping, Småskogsvägen, Byxelkrok, Schweden

We spend the night in the north and are surprised again that there is hardly anything going on here. There are 12 pubs and restaurants at the port, only one is still open. The season would already be over and it's not worth leaving everything open. Funny.

Eketorps borg, Eketorps, Degerhamn, Schweden

Today we cross the whole island and drive south on the east side.

We stop at the remains of Eketorps borg. It has been restored and is worth a short visit.

☍ 22,5 km ( 29 min.)

Sandviks Camping

We spend the last night on Öland. We didn't like the island that much. One hears again and again that it is Sweden's Mallorca, but certainly only in midsummer when everything is full.

Målilla, Schweden

Today's stage ends just north of Målilla. We are standing by a small lake. We have to go straight through the middle of a construction site. In addition to us, a camper actually got lost here ;-) We are spoiled with a great sunset.

Målilla Älgpark, Målilla, Schweden

Astrid Lindgrens värld, Vimmerby, Schweden

The journey continues in the direction of Vimmerby. We visit the amusement park and unfortunately don't learn much new about the writer and her well-known book characters such as Pippi, Karlsson and Co. But we don't miss a show with Michel, who is called Emil in Sweden.

Långsjön Stugor & Camping AB

We spend the night at Långsjön on the campsite there. The location isn't that great, because you can only get to the lake via a busy road and every now and then a small railway tinkles. But the CP has by far the best sanitary facilities, almost new and immaculate.
