We are staying a few nights at Bertha (Jeroen's niece) and her husband Gerrit in Hjarup in Denmark.
Gerrit and Bertha show us the surroundings. We start at Hindsgavl Castle. We can't walk very far, as Gerrit has recently had knee surgery.
On the west side of the island of Funen, near Middelfart, lies Hindsgavl

This morning we took it easy and went for breakfast at 9:00 AM.
After that, we went to explore Helsingborg. The town has a cozy center with many terraces and restaurants. It is also pleasant at the harbor, and if you walk further, you reach the beach. It is striking that few people are lying on the sandy

We are staying in a hotel in Helsingborg. This weekend the World Choir Games are being held there, which means hotels are full of large groups. On the receptionist's advice, we therefore only had breakfast at 8:45 AM this morning, so we would be after the biggest rush.
At 9:45 AM we set off for Klåver

Yesterday we arrived in Göteborg. Yesterday we had a relaxed day due to the predicted rain showers. Nice too 😉.
This morning at 7:30 am at breakfast and on the road at 8:30 am. They predict rain again later in the day and we hope to stay ahead of it. Unfortunately, that didn't work out, because at 11

14:15: To round off a lovely day, we take a walk at Ramsvikslandet Naturreservat before checking into our hotel.
Ramsvikslandet is often called the 'kingdom of rocks', and during this tour, you'll soon understand why. You walk across vast rock plates of red Bohus granite, smoothed by the ice cap thousands of years ago.

With the free ferry we cross to the island of Hamburgsö. Part of the inhabitants live on the island of Hamburgö which is separated from the mainland by a strait.

9:50 AM: We drive on to Fjällbacka. The intention was to visit the Kungsklyftan there, but I opted out because of the path to climb. Jeroen did go on.
The Kungsklyftan is an impressive rock gorge in the Swedish coastal town of Fjällbacka. The gorge is characterized by towering granite rock faces, wedged

We're taking it easy today, as it will be 29°C today. Since we are going to the next hotel today, we are taking a tourist route. We are stopping in the town of Hjo (on the recommendation of ChatGPT). It turns out to be a very nice town on Lake Vättern. Touristy, but not overrun with tourists. There is a cozy atmosphere.
