From the campsite, it was only a few kilometers to Bosjön Castle and the former Benedictine monastery. The garden and the church with original pews from 1600 are worth seeing, but the exhibition in part of the former monastery is less so. A 1,000-year-old oak tree stands in the somewhat neglected park

From the campsite, we followed the riverside path directly to Landskrona Citadel. The scale of the ramparts is particularly impressive. Part of the area has been used for gardens for over 100 years. One of them, a listed monument, houses a museum garden. Otherwise, Landskrona was once more important

From Gilleleje, we cycled along the coast to Helsingør, then took the ferry to Helsingborg. On the Swedish side, the cycle path also mostly followed the coast. Today's highlight was undoubtedly the Fishing and Maritime Museum in Råå. At the beginning of the 20th century, Råå harbor was Sweden's largest

The route to Hillerød was unspectacular, as was Hillerød itself. The (cultural and historical) highlight was Frederiksborg Palace and its Baroque garden. From there, the route continued through a large forest, Gribskov. This is probably the largest contiguous forest area on Zealand. And, of course, there

This morning we went our separate ways. Gloria visited the Fiber Folk Strickke Festival. As an alternative, I had a visit to Ragarock, a museum dedicated to rock, pop, etc., and youth culture. Ragarock is located in a new part of town, formerly an industrial area, now a meeting place for creatives and

Our first stop for today was Køge. Before that, we passed the Renaissance castle of Vallø. Køge is a small town with a beautiful market square, a large church (unfortunately closed on Saturdays due to baptisms, weddings, etc.), and pretty old houses. From Køge, we headed away from the coast. Our destination

From Marjatta, we traveled along small roads close to the coast. Today's highlights included Stevens Klint, a roughly 20 km long stretch of coastline with steep cliffs and chalk cliffs. Chalk has been mined there for centuries, but now only one chalk quarry remains active. The former Boesdal chalk quarry

First, we went to Liselund, a romantic garden and park, laid out in the style of English parks at the end of the 18th century in a forest and marshland area. Of course, a small pleasure palace, a cottage (Swiss cottage?), and a Chinese pavilion were not to be missed. We continued on to Elmelunde Church

I'm a little jealous that you're traveling in Sweden. And now? You're taking the ferry back to Germany?
