Freki invades Sweden

Me and my girlfriend took a week long road trip trough Sweden..

We're both into nature so the primary focus was nature walks, but we did visit/stayed in a couple cities, so it's not only trees and lakes..

Anyways here we go...



The route..


We start off with the drive from Copenhagen to Karlskrona






Karlskrona

Final part is us going Beaver "hunting" on the Sandnäs peninsular..

We never did find any beavers, but we did find trees they have cut down











And finally the bridge back to Denmark..


The End..

Wow, these are some amazing shots!

I'm actually surprised at how nice the weather was and how well cared for each of the towns in your pictures are - they look really incredible. I knew I'd get high quality shots as I always follow your Copenhagen thread, and you didn't disappoint.

Looks great apart from some boxes in Karlstad. Kalmar looks fantastic.

STUNNING!
I was almost a bit devastated when I thought about how
amazingly beautiful towns, cities and nature are down in
wonderful Germany compared to here in Sweden...
These fantastic pics give me a lot of hope that we
actually aren´t that far behind after all...
Great work!

I'm a little sad that you didn't decided to stay on the west coast, Because there are many fine cities (and nature) here to, Both Göteborg, Varberg and Halmstad are defnitly woth a visit!

We only had a week and went for places that isn't just a short drive away..

There is no doubt I'll be spending time along the Swedish westcoast in the future - I think it has a lot to offer

( have spend some time along it in the age before the digital camera )

Finally we get to see you join the Dark (Swedish) Side Freki

Looks like you got to see a lot of nice towns and places, actually there are some towns I haven't been to myself yet (Karlskrona, Karlstad, Södertälje). Kalmar and Öland are favorites of mine though, spent most of my childhood's summers on Öland, love that island. Nice to see your pictures from there
