Out of nostalgia, we returned to the Pfänder via Bregenz today. We were here with our children in 2007. Not much has changed since then. Lots of tourists, many with children, just like we were 18 years ago.
Our short tour took us from the Pfänder around the Mooskopf. Here, it became quieter and less crowded

Our trip through southern Sweden has now taken us to Varberg in the Kattegat. This quiet seaside resort boasts a cold bathing house on stilts, a warm bathing house, an impressive rampart, and the unfortunate Bockstenmannen, who was sunk in the bog here around 1350.

Dummemosse is a pristine moor and heath landscape, surrounded by pine and birch forests. Hike through this area almost exclusively on precise trails, some wide and some narrow. Today, we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the warm sunshine at numerous small lakes.

Although you often see moose warning signs on Swedish roads, these shy creatures are rarely seen in the wild. However, on our route from Öland to Jönköping, there was an moose park, and there we took a closer look at these impressive animals.
We knew we would also be passing Lönneberg and Mariannelund

After a long drive from Borgholm, the southernmost point of the island is best reached by foot from the royal estate in Ottenby. For the outward journey, we chose a path along the sea, which is truly worthwhile. Here, the pastures extend all the way to the beach, and the path runs right through them

Today we were in the very north of Öland. There, we followed winding paths through a pristine forest, always with a view of the sea.
A beautiful contrast.
Afterwards, we made a detour to Long Erik, Öland's lighthouse at the northern tip.
On the way to Borgholm, we took a look at the Byrums Raukar rock formations

The city of Karlskrona is spread across 33 archipelago islands. We explored the main island, Trossö, today. The naval base at the harbor is a defining feature, as Karlskrona has been Sweden's most important naval base since the 17th century. For those interested, the Naval Museum is recommended. The

On our way from the south coast to Karlskrona, we made a detour to the Ales Stenar (Ales Stones). These ancient stones were placed on a cliff by Vikings in the shape of a ship's hull (known as ship setting).
Historians are still unclear about their significance.
The short walk was quite challenging, leading
