Our first hike in Sweden is through Stenshuvud National Park. A very beautiful, varied hike, but quite tough. Partly because we are not trained anymore and partly because the humidity was very high.
With 2 km to go, it started to rain, so we put on our ponchos. We were close to a coffee shop for a fika, so we …

Stenshuvud National Park offers diverse nature.
I started near Kiviks Musteri. First, the path led through a beautiful arboretum. Afterwards, I continued towards the beach and the ground, which was rather sandy at the beginning of the hike, became stony. The further I progressed, the larger the stones became, until I finally had to climb over rocks. This stretch was …

Stenshuvud National Park is Sweden's southernmost national park. It is located just south of Kivik and 15 km north of Simrishamn. Stenshuvud is approximately 400 hectares in size, of which 80 hectares are on the sea surface. It is a versatile nature reserve: you will find forest, swamp and beach.

Nice combination of the suggested hiking trails. We took our shoes off at the beach and walked along the water to the end. Best swimming opportunity on the beach.

Continuing our explorations of Sweden's national parks from last year😉On the east coast lies this wonderful park that has a little bit of everything. Beautiful vantage points, a forest full of blooming wild garlic and long sandy beaches. In each of these parks you get a flyer, also in German, in which the different hiking tours are shown.

A very, very nice tour to start our Sweden tour.

You can definitely spend the whole day here and always discover interesting corners. Unfortunately, since we were a little too late with the camper at the main entrance parking lot, we drove to the northern parking lot at "Kiviks Musteri" and that was definitely a great starting point.

Today we walk through the park - and I have photos for you - also from the stony path yesterday with the 🚲 -

Also a very nice park with varied nature! Of course, the routes are also short and therefore there are no overnight huts in the park.
You can set up the ⛺️ on the square by the …
