Dans ce deuxi\u00e8me article de notre p\u00e9riple 2017, nous vous faisons d\u00e9couvrir ce que nous avons v\u00e9cu de mi-juin\u00a0=> mi-juillet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tout d’abord quelques informations sur la Su\u00e8de:
\nCe pays, dont la superficie est 11 fois celle de la Suisse compte \u00e0 peine plus d’habitants que celle-ci, 10 millions contre 8,5 millions.
\n85% de ceux-ci se r\u00e9partissent dans les 3 grandes villes que sont Stockholm, Gothembourg et Malm\u00f6, ce qui laisse pas mal de place pour les autres !
\nC\u00f4t\u00e9 \u00e9nergie, 49% des besoins sont couverts par le nucl\u00e9aire, 31% par la biomasse, 16% par l’hydro\u00e9lectrique et les 4% restants par l’\u00e9olien et le solaire.<\/p>\n

In this years Second article we finally start our visit to Sweden<\/strong> with a little detour to Kopenhagen <\/strong>(remember, we already wanted to do part of Sweden last year but got stuck with the nice weather in Denmark) . We begin with the popular Swedish west coast and then move further inland to explore huge foresty areas that enclose hundreds of lakes ideal for canoeing (and swimming if you can face 15C water temperature ).
\n<\/span>As introduction some figures: Sweden has 10mio inhabitants of which 85% live in Stockholm, Malm\u00f8 and G\u00f8teborg. The countries surface is 11times larger than CH (8.5mio inhabitants). So let’s say roughly 2.5 mio people live on a surface 10times larger than CH… (ok some of the area is quite cold most of the year).
\n<\/span>Since Denmark, Norway and Iceland are all close to 100% green energy, here also some remarkable energy facts from Sweden: Sweden has no fossil resource power stations. Today it produces 31% of it energy from biomass as a “by product” to its big forestry business (51% of the land is covered by wood), 49% comes from nuclear power, 16% from hydro electric and the remaining 4% come from wind, sun and geothermal energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir quitt\u00e9 Annette et Niels<\/strong> et rejoint le terminal du ferry, nous avons\u00a0quitt\u00e9 Bornholm<\/strong> pour rallier Ystad<\/strong>, au sud de la Su\u00e8de<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

June 10.
\nOur ferry from Bornholm<\/strong> arrives in Ystad<\/strong> at the south coast of Sweden.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ystad<\/strong> fait partie des plus vieilles villes de Scanie<\/strong>, son histoire remontant au XIIe<\/sup>-XIIIe<\/sup>\u00a0si\u00e8cle, \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque o\u00f9 la r\u00e9gion \u00e9tait danoise<\/strong>.
\nLa ville prosp\u00e9ra gr\u00e2ce au commerce du hareng, en particulier avec l’Allemagne et la ligue hans\u00e9atique. De nos jours, Ystad<\/strong> n’est plus qu’une petite ville, mais son patrimoine historique est encore visible dans ses vieilles rues et ses nombreuses maisons \u00e0 colombages\u00a0qui font de la ville un attraction touristique de premier ordre. Elle compte environ 18’000 habitants.<\/p>\n

Ystad<\/strong>\u00a0exists since the 12th century when the area belonged to Denmark<\/strong>.\u00a0The Town grew mainly due to important trading of herring with the German Hanseatic league. Today the town has 18’000 inhabitants and is an important tourist attraction with its many medieval houses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mardi 13 juin
\n<\/strong>D’Ystad<\/strong>, nous remontons vers Malm\u00f6<\/strong> pour prendre le plus long du monde, construit en 2000 et qui s\u2019\u00e9tend sur 16 kilom\u00e8tres<\/strong>.
\nBaptis\u00e9 Oresundsbron<\/strong>, il relie la ville de Malm\u00f6<\/strong> en Su\u00e8de \u00e0 l\u2019\u00eele de Peberholm<\/strong> au Danemark, sur laquelle\u00a0se\u00a0situe Copenhague,\u00a0avec deux parcours. Un premier sous-sol et un second hors-sol. Il est donc \u00e0 la fois, un pont et un tunnel.<\/p>\n

From here we go fairly straight to Kopenhagen.<\/strong> An easy piece of cake since a 16km!! bridge<\/strong> and tunnel connect Malm\u00f6<\/strong> and the Swedish mainland with the island Peberholm where Kopenhagen lays. Constructed in 2000 this is today worldwide the longest of its kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous contournons\u00a0Copenhague\u00a0 <\/strong>pour nous rendre \u00e0 Hiller\u00f8d<\/strong>, une trentaine de kilom\u00e8tres plus au nord.
\nNous\u00a0allons passer l\u00e0 les 4 jours \u00e0 venir dans un joli camping.
\nDe l\u00e0, nous prenons le train qui nous am\u00e8ne au centre de Copenhague<\/strong> en 38 minutes.<\/p>\n

D\u00e8s notre arriv\u00e9e au camping, nous r\u00e9servons une sortie sur le “Den Lille Faerge<\/strong>“qui va nous faire d\u00e9couvrir les dessous de l\u2019histoire du ch\u00e2teau de Frederiksborg<\/strong>.
\nCe petit ferry, dont le capitaine de 80 ans nous raconte l’histoire,\u00a0a \u00e9t\u00e9 financ\u00e9 par les 350 membres d\u2019une association cr\u00e9\u00e9 \u00e0 cet effet.
\nDe mai \u00e0 fin septembre, il sillonne le lac au quotidien, 7 jours sur 7, pilot\u00e9 \u00e0 tour de r\u00f4le par 35 b\u00e9n\u00e9voles.<\/p>\n

During 4 days we will stay at a lovely campground in Hiller\u00f8d<\/strong> from where we will take the train direction south to the town centre of Kopenhagen.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Hiller\u00f8d lays Frederiksbrg<\/strong> one of the biggest castles of Denmark.<\/span>
\n following the recommendation of the friendly camp sits owner we take a boat tour on the little castle lake. The captain is an 80 year old retired pilot. He explains us that the little boat was bought by a club of 350 volunteers to ensure its continued service after the retirement of the initial captain.\u00a0Now 30 of them take their turns\u00a0in navigating and entertaining tourists around the lake, 7 days a week during the summer. What a nice story!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Mercredi 14 juin
\n<\/strong>Nous faisons un tour du lac Slots\u00f8 <\/strong>qui entoure Frederiksborg<\/strong> Ce ch\u00e2teau a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit au d\u00e9but du XVIIe si\u00e8cle<\/strong> par le roi Christian IV<\/strong> pour agrandir son pouvoir et c’est un exemple unique de la Renaissance danoise.
\nLe ch\u00e2teau a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconstruit apr\u00e8s un incendie dans la moiti\u00e9 du XIX si\u00e8cle et depuis 1878<\/strong> il accueille le Mus\u00e9e d’Histoire Nationale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The castle<\/strong> was build in early 17th century<\/strong> by the King Christian IV to demonstrate his wealth and power. It is a unique example of Danish Renaissance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La famille royale<\/strong> n’a depuis lors plus acc\u00e8s au chateau mais comme elle aime bien venir l\u00e0 pour y pratiquer la chasse,\u00a0un plus petit a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit un peu plus haut dans le parc.
\nPas mal non plus !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

En milieu d’apr\u00e8s-midi, nous prenons le train pour une visite de Copenhague.
\n<\/strong>Elle est la capitale et la plus grande ville du Danemark<\/strong>\u00a0et compte 1’300’000 habitants.
\nNous parcourons rapidement le chemin entre la gare et le quartier de Nyvathn<\/strong> car nous avons rendez-vous avec notre ami James<\/strong> pour passer la soir\u00e9e ensemble.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon we start our first visit to Kopenhagen. <\/strong>With 1.3 mio inhabitants it is by far the biggest city of Denmark\u00a0<\/strong>(the whole country has\u00a05.7 moi inhabitants).<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we will meet our friend James<\/strong> for Dinner. He lives in CH and works in Kopenhagen, not a bad set-up we find after we see how great this city is!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A la fin du repas, James<\/strong> nous guide \u00e0 travers la partie de la ville situ\u00e9e en bord de mer.<\/p>\n

After dinner James<\/strong> gives us a tour along the water front<\/strong>. With the long daylight hours and the sunny weather this becomes a very pleasant stroll.
\nWe see Nyvatn<\/strong> with its numerous charming restaurants and lovely vintage boats.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Le quartier de Nyvathn<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span>

La maison de l’Op\u00e9ra.
\n<\/strong>The Opera<\/strong> house.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La plus grande fontaine de la capitale danoise<\/strong>.
\nConstruite en 1908 par Anders Bungaard, elle est d\u00e9di\u00e9e \u00e0 la d\u00e9esse Gefion<\/strong>.
\nLa l\u00e9gende raconte que le roi Gylfe de Su\u00e8de<\/strong> avait promis \u00e0 la d\u00e9esse de lui offrir autant de terres qu\u2019elle pourrait en labourer en une nuit.
\nLe prenant au mot, elle transforma ses quatre fils en b\u0153ufs, les harnacha \u00e0 une charrue et effectua la t\u00e2che hercul\u00e9enne dans le temps imparti, avant le lever du soleil.
\nApr\u00e8s avoir labour\u00e9 la terre, elle la souleva et la jeta au milieu de l\u2019oc\u00e9an, faisant ainsi na\u00eetre l\u2019\u00eele danoise de Z\u00e9lande, celle-l\u00e0 m\u00eame o\u00f9 se trouve aujourd\u2019hui Copenhague, face \u00e0 la Su\u00e8de dont elle est s\u00e9par\u00e9e par le d\u00e9troit de Sund.
\nLa zone o\u00f9 la terre fut arrach\u00e9e est devenue un lac int\u00e9rieur, appel\u00e9 actuellement le lac M\u00e4laren<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The biggest fountain in town<\/strong> that is dedicated to the creation of Kopenhagen<\/strong>:\u00a0The Swedish king Gulfe promised to the goddess Gefion the amount of land she was able to plough over night. Gefion transformed her 4 sons into bulls and let them pull the plough all night. The gained land she pulled apart from Sweden and threw it into the see to create the Danish island Zelande where Kopenhagen is today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Et bien-s\u00fbr la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre “petite sir\u00e8ne”<\/strong>.
\nDepuis 1913<\/strong>, elle accueille les voyageurs au port de Copenhague<\/strong>.
\nLa statue en bronze renvoie au protagoniste du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre conte de f\u00e9es, \u00e9crit en 1887<\/strong>, par l’\u00e9crivain danois Hans Christian Andersen<\/strong>: l’histoire de la sir\u00e8ne malheureuse qui r\u00eave de pouvoir marcher sur la terre ferme pour rejoindre son amoureux, en sacrifiant ainsi sa vie dans la mer.
\nPour sa r\u00e9alisation, le sculpteur Edvard Eriksen<\/strong> s’est inspir\u00e9\u00a0de la danseuse Ellen Price<\/strong>, qui en 1909<\/strong> a \u00e9t\u00e9 danseuse \u00e9toile au Royal Theatre de Copenhague<\/strong> dans le ballet “La Petite Sir\u00e8ne<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

And of cause the beautiful Little Mermaid<\/strong> from Hans Christian Anderson<\/strong>. She is so famous that apparently her head was already ripped of twice and lately she was all painted in red by some not so funny people…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeudi 15 juin
\n<\/strong>Retour \u00e0 Copenhague<\/strong> pour la suite de la visite.
\nNous\u00a0dirigeons nos pas vers le Palais royal<\/strong> o\u00f9 s\u2019effectue la rel\u00e8ve de la garde<\/strong> \u00e0 l’instant o\u00f9 nous y arrivons.<\/p>\n

June 15.<\/strong> Second day in Kopenhagen.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Totally accidentally we see a guard change<\/strong> at the impressive royal palace.
\nIt is a really hot day and the new shift (probably not the\u00a0correct military\u00a0word…) comes with little hats rather the big furry bonnets (am sure they have a name… ). The whole changeover is done with such seriousness that it is almost funny. Why don’t the just shake hands and exchange?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

C\u2019est ensuite le tour du quartier de Papir\u00f8en \u00ab\u00a0<\/strong>Copenhagen Street Food\u00a0\u00bb, le nouvel ’empire’ de la cuisine de rue, \u00e0 bon prix.
\nPour y acc\u00e9der, il faut passer l’estuaire par un pont basculant<\/strong> et l\u00e0, nous nous rendons vraiment compte que cette ville est la reine de la bicyclette.<\/p>\n

There are many canals<\/strong> and consequently many bridges<\/strong> in Kopenhagen. Most of them\u00a0can open to let ships trough. <\/span>
\nYou can see that there are almost more bicycles than pedestrians<\/strong> in town and while car drivers are very respectful with pedestrians, bicycle riders are not! So\u00a0we better don’t walk on a bike path or we risk to get knocked over (experience made).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/a>
\nPour ceux qui ont de la peine \u00e0 trouver un logement \u00e0 prix raisonnable, la solution passe par la Houseboat.
\nHousing shortage in Kopenhagen, or remainder from the 7ties?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Papir\u00f8en \u00ab\u00a0<\/strong>Copenhagen Street Food\u00a0\u00bb,<\/p>\n

From there we go to the Papir\u00f8en,<\/strong> a big hall full of mouth watering international Street Food<\/strong> stands and Food tracks<\/strong>. There is also a big terrace right at the waterfront where you can sit and eat what you have chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous nous int\u00e9ressons ensuite au quartier \u00ab\u00a0Freetown Christiania\u00a0\u00bb.
\n<\/strong>Cet endroit, autoproclam\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0ville libre de Christiania<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb, fonctionne comme une communaut\u00e9 autog\u00e9r\u00e9e.
\nFond\u00e9e en septembre 1971<\/strong>, sur le terrain d’une ancienne caserne, par un groupe de squatters, de ch\u00f4meurs et de hippies<\/strong>, la cit\u00e9 compte pr\u00e8s de 1\u00a0000 habitants, dont 200 enfants.
\nElle s’\u00e9tend sur 34 hectares, poss\u00e8de sa propre monnaie et toutes sortes d’activit\u00e9s culturelles et sportives, ainsi qu’un vaste espace agricole.
\nLa marijuana est bien-s\u00fbr en vente libre.<\/p>\n

We continue to the self proclaimed\u00a0“Freetown Christiani<\/strong>“. Definitely a unique place and just adjacent to town center!<\/span>
\nThe “town” was created in 1971 by squatters and hippies<\/strong> on an old military area. Today the place counts 1000 inhabitants<\/strong> including 200 children. The town has its own currency organizes frequent cultural and sports activities. It has a large agricultural area and marijuana is (of cause) legalized.
\nWe discover two distinct quarters. The southern part<\/strong> is more rock and punk<\/strong> style but still has a friendly atmosphere. There are old partly renovated and painted industry buildings. Lots of people sit around drink beer, chat and play Musik.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The northern part<\/strong> looks like a leap back into the 7ties Flower Power\u00a0<\/strong> movement. Colorful little houses in pretty, green gardens, very quiet, children play in the small streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

What a contrast to Kopenhagen’s next door touristy town Centre!
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous rejoignons ensuite \u00ab\u00a0Tivoli<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb pour retrouver \u00e0 nouveau James<\/strong> et passer une deuxi\u00e8me soir\u00e9e en sa compagnie.
\nTivoli<\/strong> est l\u2019endroit pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 de beaucoup de gens depuis son ouverture en 1843<\/strong>. C\u2019est l\u2019un des parcs d\u2019attractions les plus vieux au monde, et le parc saisonnier le plus visit\u00e9. Il est compos\u00e9 de man\u00e8ges de toutes sortes, d\u2019attractions, de concerts, d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements et plein de restaurants. C\u2019est dans l\u2019un de ceux-ci que nous allons manger ensemble.<\/p>\n

In the evening we meet James<\/strong> again. This time in “Tivoli”<\/strong> a fun park<\/strong> that is installed in the middle of Kopenhagen since 1843<\/strong>! <\/span>
\nIt is a very popular place for locals and of cause tourists. We have dinner in one of the restaurants that exists since the beginning of the park and Michel and James have “Labskaus”<\/strong> a local specialty<\/strong> that looks a little like Cornish pie. It is made from mashed potatoes and beef, comes with a glas (or more) of strong alcohol and was apparently very popular with fishermen in\u00a0the countries around the Baltic Sea. Traditional recipes can also include marinated herring (in addition to beef or corned beef) and beat root mixed all together. No wonder they needed alcohol to get it down . <\/span>
\nIn any case Michel and James confirm that it is very filling AND tasty!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Samedi 17 juin<\/strong>
\nNous quittons le Danemark<\/strong> et commen\u00e7ons notre visite de la Su\u00e8de<\/strong>.
\nVoisine de Copenhague<\/strong>, la ville de Malm\u00f6<\/strong> est la premi\u00e8re sur la liste.<\/p>\n

Avec ses 560’000 habitants, elle est la troisi\u00e8me ville de Su\u00e8de apr\u00e8s Stockholm et Gothembourg<\/strong>.
\nPour diff\u00e9rentes raisons, dont sa situation g\u00e9ographique, Malm\u00f6<\/span><\/strong> est devenue au fil des ans la ville la plus multiculturelle de Su\u00e8de avec un grand nombre d’immigrants.
\nEnviron 30\u00a0% de ses habitants sont n\u00e9s \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger.<\/p>\n

June 17,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe leave Denmark<\/strong>, cross over to Malm\u00f6<\/strong> and start our visit of the Swedish west coast<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malm\u00f6<\/strong> is after Stockholm and Gothenburg Swedens 3rd biggest city<\/strong> with 560’000 inhabitants (1\/3 foreigners). With the opening of the bridge to Kopenhagen in 2000 a lot of commuters moved in which greatly increased size, wealth and cultural variety of the town. We really like the resulting mix of old and new. Together with the Swedish style to create many inviting public areas this is a very attractive town we find!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous consacrons l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi \u00e0 la visite de la ville qui nous charme par les grands espaces de d\u00e9tente mis \u00e0 disposition de la population.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La tour torsad\u00e9e<\/strong> repr\u00e9sente la principale curiosit\u00e9 de la ville.
\nCon\u00e7ue par l\u2019architecte espagnol Santiago Calatrava<\/strong>, d\u2019une hauteur de 190m\u00e8tres<\/strong> elle effectue une vrille de 90\u00b0.
\nElle repr\u00e9sente l\u2019une des tours r\u00e9sidentielles les plus hautes d\u2019Europe.
\nTermin\u00e9e en 2005, les 54 \u00e9tages se r\u00e9partissent en trois cat\u00e9gories\u00a0: les 12 premiers consistent en bureaux, les deux derniers sont des salles de conf\u00e9rences alors que les 40 du milieu sont des appartements.<\/p>\n

The Centre piece of the new west-harbor quarter is the Turning Torso<\/strong>. It is one of the tallest residential buildings in Europe. The building is 190m high and twists 90 degrees from base to top. Finished in 2005, it is considered one of the worlds most prominent skyscrapers and has won many international awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mardi 20 juin
\n<\/strong>Visite de Gothembourg<\/strong>.
\nForte de 500’000 habitants, on ne peut pas la consid\u00e9rer comme une jolie ville. Elle pr\u00e9sente toutefois quelques points int\u00e9ressants, comme le quartier du port<\/strong> ou celui de Haga,<\/strong> avec ses petits bistrots.
\nLorsque l\u2019on se balade dans la ville, on a toujours l\u2019impression que l\u2019on va se faire \u00e9craser par un v\u00e9lo, un tram, un bus ou une voiture. Il faut vraiment avoir l\u2019\u0153il partout\u00a0!<\/p>\n

Lilla Bommen<\/strong>, le plus haut b\u00e2timent de la ville avec ses 23 \u00e9tages.
\nIl est aussi nomm\u00e9 “Le b\u00e2ton de rouge \u00e0 l\u00e8vres<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

With 500’000 inhabitants Gothenburg\/G\u00f6teburg<\/strong> has some good spot to visit like the authentic 18 century quarter Haga<\/strong>, the “Lipstick”<\/strong> and the fish church<\/strong>. But overall it does not match Malm\u00f6.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilla Bommel<\/strong> also called Lipstick, is the highest building in town with 23 levels. The view from the top level is supposed to be stunning, but it is closed the morning we get there .<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeudi 22 juin
\n<\/strong>Nous avons lu dans notre guide de voyage\u00a0\u00a0“Reise know-how<\/strong>” que peu avant d\u2019arriver \u00e0 Marstrand<\/strong>, existait un joli caf\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0 Caf\u00e9 Zanzibar\u00a0<\/strong>\u00bb qui valait la peine de s\u2019y arr\u00eater.
\nC\u2019est ce que nous faisons, et la propri\u00e9taire, Annelie Utter <\/strong>nous accueille tr\u00e8s chaleureusement et nous fait d\u00e9couvrir l\u2019endroit qui en plus d\u2019\u00eatre un caf\u00e9 dispose \u00e9galement d\u2019une installation de fumage de poissons et crevettes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

June 22<\/span><\/strong>
\nFrom Gothenburg further north there are many little islands often connected with bridges. The rugged coastline together with the islands has created many sheltered areas ideal for little fishing villages and lovely beaches. The area resembles a little the south of Norway with the\u00a0red fishing sheds and the rocky shore.<\/span><\/p>\n

We would love to visit all the villages but prefer to be selective; visit less but with more time.<\/span>
\nSo we select Marstrand<\/strong> as our next destination. On the way\u00a0we stop for a coffee at a place called Zanzibar<\/strong> recommended by our travel guide book. It is one of those places you walk in a and you feel at home. Annelie<\/strong> the owner is also a professional photographer and organizes photo tours in Africa and Latin America. She shares her experiences with us and we admire her great photos!
\n<\/span>There is a smoke house<\/strong> in the large garden\u00a0and we buy cold and hot smoked salmon (absolutely delicious!!!). And also the local speciality: smoked prawns<\/strong>! Very tasty as well as we find out in the evening 😋 only drawback is the time it takes to get to the edible parts and at the end you have a huge heap of waste and your fingers smell smoky for hours. We will probably stick with the salmon for the future…<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Annelie<\/strong> est \u00e9galement photographe et organisatrice de safaris \u00e0 travers le monde et nous sommes fascin\u00e9s par ses r\u00e9cits et photos qu\u2019elle a la gentillesse de nous faire partager.
\nNous quittons le caf\u00e9 Zanzibar<\/strong> en fin d\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi pour une visite de Marstrand…….<\/strong><\/p>\n

After this very pleasant break we visit Marstrand<\/strong> with its big citadel… <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…….et revenons ensuite un peu en arri\u00e8re pour nous arr\u00eater pour la nuit sur une place pr\u00e8s d\u2019une petite cabane au bord de l\u2019eau d\u2019o\u00f9 nous b\u00e9n\u00e9ficions d\u2019une superbe vue sur la baie.<\/p>\n

and then find a place to spend the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vendredi 23 juin
\n<\/strong> En repassant devant chez Annelie<\/strong>, nous d\u00e9cidons de nous y arr\u00eater et de passer un moment pour boire un caf\u00e9 et papoter encore un peu.
\nL\u00e0, nous entamons la discussion avec un couple su\u00e9dois venu pour acheter du poisson fum\u00e9.
\nIls nous font plein de recommandations sur les endroits \u00e0 visiter absolument sur l\u2019\u00eele voisine de Tj\u00f6rn<\/strong>.
\nR\u00f6nn\u00e4ng, Kl\u00e4desholmen, \u00c4ngeviken<\/strong> sont les endroits que nous visitons, malheureusement sous un ciel gris qui va nous amener la pluie en milieu d\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi et interrompre ainsi nos visites pour la journ\u00e9e.
\nSur le parking du site des sculptures \u00ab\u00a0Pilane<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb, apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 avertis par le gardien qu\u2019il \u00e9tait interdit d\u2019y camper, une famille en v\u00e9lo ayant assist\u00e9 \u00e0 la discussion nous indique un endroit tranquille et bien situ\u00e9 pour passer la nuit tranquillement. Sympa !!!<\/p>\n

The next mornings we go\u00a0for another\u00a0coffee<\/strong> and a chat to Zanzibar<\/strong>. Excellent idea since a Swedish couple that buys lots of smoked fish from Annelie gives us a heap of recommendations for what to visit on the next island called Tj\u00f6rn<\/strong>.
\n<\/span>Under a very cloudy sky and some rain we visit the charming villages of R\u00f6nn\u00e4ng, Kl\u00e4desholmen<\/strong> and \u00c4ngeviken<\/strong> but decide to postpone the visit of the outdoors sculpture park Pilane<\/strong> to the next day since by now the rain poures down heavily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samedi 24 juin
\n<\/strong>Retour sur le site de Pilane<\/strong> sous un ciel redevenu limpide, pour admirer les diverses sculptures g\u00e9antes implant\u00e9es sur un endroit d\u00e9j\u00e0 habit\u00e9 6000 ans av JC, sur lequel les arch\u00e9ologues ont retrouv\u00e9 plusieurs tombes form\u00e9es de grands cercles de pierre avec une pierre tombale en son centre datant de cette \u00e9poque.
\nDepuis 2007 ce site est utilis\u00e9 pour pr\u00e9senter une exposition de sculptures renouvel\u00e9es p\u00e9riodiquement.<\/p>\n

June 24
\n<\/span><\/strong>We wake up to a bright blue sky<\/strong>. Perfect for our visit!<\/strong><\/span>
\nPilane<\/strong> is a sculptor park<\/strong> on a field of ancient graves and stone circles dating back up to 6000 years BC. The sculptures are build from international artists from different materials. The exhibition is renewed every year.
\n<\/span>The big size sculptures with the intense northern sun lite embedded in the landscape are a spectacular sight!<\/span>
\nOnly drawback, it is Midsummer<\/strong> weekend (the longest day of the year is a very important and merry family celebration) and every single person in Sweden moves to the little cottages on the coast or at a lake. So the park is quite crowded…<\/span><\/p>\n

SYRIAN HORSE<\/strong>, SLEEPING FEET<\/strong> and INTROSPECTIVE<\/strong> made from different types of wire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s \u00e7a, nous nous rendons \u00e0 Uddevalla <\/strong>pour une randonn\u00e9e en bord de mer dont la particularit\u00e9 est un pont suspendu en bois soutenu par des piliers arrim\u00e9s dans la paroi au-dessus de celui-ci.<\/p>\n

From here we return to mainland and get to Uddevalla<\/strong> a town that lays on a long “sund” (Swedish word for bay). We follow a hike along the waterfront and enjoy the great views. A part of the wooden plank path is\u00a0suspended from the rocks above it. Quite an exception construction!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La balade se termine vers une marina que nous trouvons id\u00e9ale pour y passer la nuit.
\nC\u2019est donc l\u00e0 que nous revenons avec l\u2019Azala\u00ef<\/strong> apr\u00e8s la balade.
\nL\u2019endroit s\u2019appelle Lindesn\u00e4s<\/strong> et c\u2019est avec un joli coucher de soleil que nous finissons cette belle journ\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Dimanche 25 juin<\/strong>
\nSm\u00f6gen<\/strong> sera l\u2019\u00e9tape du jour.
\nMagnifique village de p\u00eacheurs, r\u00e9put\u00e9 le plus fr\u00e9quent\u00e9 de cette c\u00f4te.
\nUne concentration impressionnante de yachts, voile et moteur se pressent sur le ponton long de 600 m\u00e8tres, bord\u00e9 de jolies maisons de p\u00eacheurs.<\/p>\n

Sm\u00f6gen<\/strong> is a tiny island a little further up the coast. Its shape allows for several excellently sheltered little harbors for fisherman. Today the numerous painted little boat sheds<\/strong> are all converted into holiday homes with the possibility to attach your boat right in front. It is quite a touristy place but has kept most of its original architecture and charm. With all the islands and protected waters in between, sailing must be fantastic here which is certainly confirmed by the incredible number of sailing boats here!

Lundi 26 juin<\/strong>
\nA quelques kilom\u00e8tres de l\u00e0 a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 un parc animalier (Nordens Ark<\/strong>) d\u00e9di\u00e9 \u00e0 la sauvegarde des esp\u00e8ces en voie de disparition en vue de leur r\u00e9insertion.
\nUn circuit de 7 km presque enti\u00e8rement dans la for\u00eat nous permet de d\u00e9couvrir une huitantaine d\u2019animaux, allant du l\u00e9opard de neiges<\/strong>, en passant par les suricates<\/strong> et autres gloutons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

June 26<\/strong><\/span>
\n Little addition to our program: we will visit a zoo!
\nNordens Arc<\/strong>\u00a0holds roughly 80 animals in very spacious enclosures.\u00a0It is dedicated to breeding and reinsertion of endangered animals from all around the world.\u00a0<\/span>
\nA 7km long path leads through\u00a0the mainly forest area and we see a mix of amphibians, birds and predators like\u00a0tigers, snow leopards<\/strong> (never seen this one before!), wolverines<\/strong> and also cute suricates.<\/strong> The wolverine was very common in Sweden but is very rare today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous recollons ensuite \u00e0 la c\u00f4te pour une visite des villages de p\u00eacheurs de Hamburgsund<\/strong> puis Fj\u00e4llbacka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We briefly stop at Hamburgsund<\/strong> and then continue to Fj\u00e4lbacka.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mardi 27 juin<\/strong>
\nC\u2019est par une balade sur la falaise surplombant Fj\u00e4llbacka <\/strong>que nous commen\u00e7ons cette journ\u00e9e qui s\u2019annonce magnifique.<\/p>\n

A great place for a long hike and some ice cream in the small village that is connected via a long wooden stare case with the top of the cliff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Une tr\u00e8s jolie vue du village et de la c\u00f4te toute en r\u00e9cifs s\u2019offre \u00e0 nous depuis ce promontoire.<\/p>\n

Nice view!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le site d\u2019art rupestre de Bohusl\u00e4n \u00e0 Tanum<\/strong> est l\u2019objet de notre prochaine escale lors de cette remont\u00e9e de la c\u00f4te ouest de la Su\u00e8de.
\nCette r\u00e9gion a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s peupl\u00e9e d\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de Bronze (1800-500 AC) et la plupart des gravures ont \u00e9t\u00e9 taill\u00e9es durant cette p\u00e9riode.
\nNous avons la chance d\u2019avoir \u00e0 notre disposition un arch\u00e9ologue qui nous accompagne sur place et nous fournit plein d\u2019int\u00e9ressantes explications sur l\u2019origine et la signification de ces dessins.<\/p>\n

We learn from the guide book that at in the area of Tanum<\/strong> there are 500 individuals stone carving sites<\/strong> from the Bronze Age<\/strong> (1800 a 500 BC). The four biggest ones are made accessible and we visit Vielecke with a big stone full of carvings.
\n<\/span>You can see many boats, hunters, fishers, warriors, animals, Thor<\/strong> the weather good and many more.<\/span>
\nWe are lucky and get a tour from an archeologist who explains us today’s interpretations of the carvings. Super interesting and the free museum that is close by is really well done (we are not much into museums but do spend quite some time in this one…).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mercredi 28 juin
\n<\/strong>Nous quittons maintenant la c\u00f4te ouest et rejoignons l’int\u00e9rieur des terres\u00a0pour nous rendre dans la r\u00e9gion des lacs.
\nAu bord du grand lac V\u00e4nern<\/strong>, dans la localit\u00e9 de H\u00e5verud, <\/strong>un ing\u00e9nieux aqueduc<\/strong> a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit en 1864<\/strong> pour relier le canal Dalsland<\/strong> au lac en question.
\nA l\u2019origine, une rivi\u00e8re, au fond d\u2019une profonde et \u00e9troite gorge s\u2019\u00e9coulait entre ces deux points et rendait le passage impossible.
\nNils Ericson<\/strong>, l\u2019ing\u00e9nieur en charge du projet d\u00e9cida de construire un aqueduc en plaques d\u2019acier pos\u00e9es sur des pyl\u00f4nes de b\u00e9ton reliant 4 \u00e9cluses pour ajuster les niveaux.
\nUn pont ferroviaire basculant<\/strong> traverse l\u2019aqueduc ainsi qu\u2019un pont routier. Tout ceci offre un spectacle tr\u00e8s pris\u00e9 par les touristes de passage qui s\u2019arr\u00eatent nombreux pour admirer cette \u0153uvre.<\/p>\n

June 28
\n<\/span><\/strong>We now leave the costal area and head inland direction big forests and thousands of lakes<\/strong> (hopefully not thousands of moskitos or similar biting insects like everybody tells us to watch out for 😐).<\/span><\/p>\n

In H\u00e5verud<\/strong> at the big lake V\u00e4neren<\/strong> in 1864 needed to find a solution for how to connect the lake to the Dalsland canal<\/strong>. The issue was a deep gorge that run perpendicular to the canal and thus blocked its continuation.<\/span>
\nNils Erickson the chief engineer at this time decided to construct an aqueduct <\/strong>for the Canal<\/strong> and have it cross the gorge. 4 consecutive locks were needed to overcome the difference in height.
\nLater on a train bridge<\/strong> that can open to let high boats pass and a road bridge<\/strong> were added. All together a great demonstration of public transport development in the 18 hundreds!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous remontons maintenant en direction de Bengtsfors<\/strong> o\u00f9 le hasard ou plut\u00f4t le gps<\/strong> nous fait passer \u00e0 un moment donn\u00e9 par un chemin forestier qui longe la toute extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 du lac Lel\u00e5ng. <\/strong>L\u2019endroit est magique et nous nous y arr\u00eatons pour une baignade et nous profitons aussi de nous dorer un peu au soleil et d\u00e9cidons que nous y serons tr\u00e8s bien pour passer la nuit.<\/p>\n

From here we leave direction Bengtsfors,<\/strong> an ideal spot to hire a canoe<\/strong> and explore a bit of the 1000 lakes by boat.
\nOne the way we stop at a lovely spot for a swim and finally decide to stay here for the night. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vers les 10heures du soir, un superbe coucher de soleil s\u2019installe sur le lac et, l\u2019avantage sous ces latitudes est que le ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne dure pr\u00e8s de 2 heures.<\/p>\n

The place is ideal for tonight’s colorful sunset that thanks to the high latitude lasts for 2 hours…<\/span><\/p>\n

Samedi 1er<\/sup> juillet
\n<\/strong>Partis assez t\u00f4t ce matin (09h00) pour parcourir les quelques 20km qui nous s\u00e9parent de \u00ab\u00a0Silver Lake<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb, un camp d\u00e9di\u00e9 \u00e0 la pratique du cano\u00eb<\/strong>.

Magnifique journ\u00e9e\u00a0!<\/p>\n

The next day we arrive at Silver Lake camp<\/strong> where we hire a canoe<\/strong> and get started.<\/span>
\nThe weather is perfect and we spend all day canoeing interrupted only by a pic-nick and a swim on a little island with a church. It is Sunday and right during our little break\u00a0 a wedding starts and the whole party walks passt us. Everybody nicely dressed and we in our bathing cloths… so funny (not sure they would agree 😊).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dimanche 2 juillet
\n<\/strong>Nous allons maintenant passer 3 jours dans la r\u00e9serve naturelle de Glaskogen<\/strong>, toujours en plein milieu de la r\u00e9gion des lacs.
\nAfin de pr\u00e9server la beaut\u00e9 de cette r\u00e9gion, le gouvernement local a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 en 1970 de cr\u00e9\u00e9 cette r\u00e9serve d\u2019une superficie de 28’000 hectares.
\nNous passons nos journ\u00e9es \u00e0 nous promener le long des\u00a0nombreux sentiers balis\u00e9s qui la jalonnent et qui nous font d\u00e9couvrir\u00a0une nature d’une grande beaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n

July 2
\n<\/span><\/strong>We have moved on to Glaskogen Nature Reserve<\/strong> still in the lake and wood area.<\/span>
\nTo protect this beautiful place, the Swedish government created this park in 1970 with a surface of 280 km2.<\/span>
\nWe spend our time hiking through woods and along the stunning lakes. A very peaceful environment. No swimming tough the weather is too cold even for Michel!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour les v\u00e9hicules, le camping sauvage est interdit et nous en choisissons par cons\u00e9quent un officiel qui se situe en plein milieu de la r\u00e9serve et qui offre des places \u00e9parpill\u00e9es dans une for\u00eat de pins et s\u00e9par\u00e9es par un pan de nature.
\nTout \u00e7a, directement au bord de l\u2019eau.<\/p>\n

Mardi 4 juillet
\n<\/strong>Encore une balade dans la r\u00e9serve naturelle avant de nous mettre en route vers Dammarna,<\/strong> un peu plus au sud de la m\u00eame r\u00e9serve, toujours au bord du m\u00eame lac.
\nBeate,\u00a0<\/strong>une amie rencontr\u00e9e en\u00a0Patagonie<\/strong> en 2014 et avec qui nous avons gard\u00e9 contact\u00a0nous fait savoir par messenger qu\u2019elle n\u2019est pas loin et demande si elle peut nous rejoindre pour passer 2 jours avec nous. Aussit\u00f4t dit, aussit\u00f4t fait\u00a0!
\nNous passons la soir\u00e9e ensemble et elle nous raconte son p\u00e9riple \u00e0 Svalbard (Spitzberg)<\/strong> d\u2019o\u00f9 elle est en train de redescendre avec son camping-car.<\/p>\n

On the last day Beate<\/strong> a friend we met in South America joins us.<\/span>
\nShe is on her way back from an expedition<\/strong> from Spitzberg\/Svalbard<\/strong> and explains us all about her trip through the pack ice and shows us the stunning pictures she was able to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeudi 6 juillet
\n<\/strong>Visite de la sculpture de Picasso<\/strong>.
\nEn 1950<\/strong>, Picasso<\/strong> peignait \u00ab\u00a0Les dames de Mougins<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb et r\u00eavait d\u2019en faire des sculptures g\u00e9antes.
\nBengt Olson<\/strong>, artiste peintre su\u00e9dois natif de Kristinehamn<\/strong> eut vent de ce projet et proposa \u00e0 sa commune de prendre contact avec Picasso<\/strong> pour\u00a0qu’il soit r\u00e9alis\u00e9 \u00e0 cet endroit.
\nL\u2019artiste hispano-fran\u00e7ais accepta l\u2019offre et c\u2019est ainsi que cette sculpture de 15 m\u00e8tres de haut pour une envergure de 6×4 m et dont le pied mesure 1,65 m de diam\u00e8tre a vu le jour. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 inaugur\u00e9e en 1965 <\/strong>et repr\u00e9sente le p\u00f4le d\u2019attraction principal de la r\u00e9gion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The curiosity in Kristineham<\/strong> and the reason for our visit is a huge Picasso statue<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nOriginally destined to the Norwegen home town of one of Picassos friends, the statue was finally built here since the Norwegian town refused the offer (today a big regret I am sure!).\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe sculpture is the ralisation of his painting “Les Dammes de Mougins<\/strong>” and was inaugurated<\/strong> in 1965<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vendredi 7 juillet<\/strong>
\nBaignade matinale au lac et achat d\u2019une truite arc-en-ciel de 800 grammes<\/strong>, fra\u00eechement sortie de son milieu par un jeune p\u00eacheur qui propose m\u00eame sa canne \u00e0 Michel afin de s\u2019essayer \u00e0 son tour. Malheureusement sans succ\u00e8s.<\/p>\n

July 7<\/strong><\/span>
\nAfter a morning swim Michel buys a rainbow trout<\/strong> from a boy that fishes very successfully right next to us. (He had offered Michel to use his fishing rod but Michel tries in vain, so we end up buying 🙁).
\nDinner is ensured 😁
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le soir m\u00eame elle finit en papillote et nous offre un excellent repas.<\/p>\n

Nous quittons l\u00e0 Beate <\/strong>qui continue sa route vers l\u2019Allemagne alors que nous montons encore un peu plus au Nord jusqu\u2019\u00e0 T\u00e4llberg<\/strong>, au bord du Siljansee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Later <\/span>on Beate<\/strong> continues south and we north, who knows where we will meet again…<\/span><\/p>\n

La journ\u00e9e de demain s\u2019annonce l\u00e9g\u00e8rement pluvieuse et nous d\u00e9cidons de nous mettre dans un camping pour passer une journ\u00e9e tranquille.
\nLa haute saison a maintenant commenc\u00e9 pour les su\u00e9dois et les campings commencent \u00e0 se remplir s\u00e9rieusement, \u00e0 tel point que le premier que nous visitons est complet.
\nPlus de chance avec le deuxi\u00e8me qui a encore pas mal de disponibilit\u00e9s.
\nC’est donc \u00e0 R\u00e4ttvik<\/strong> que nous faisons finalement halte.
\nDe notre place nous apercevons une longue, tr\u00e8s longue estacade s’enfon\u00e7ant dans le lac.
\nCurieux d’en savoir plus, nous nous y rendons et obtenons les renseignements souhait\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

La toute premi\u00e8re a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e en 1890<\/strong> pour permettre aux touristes d\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 des bains prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, offrant une profondeur d\u2019eau suffisante.
\nCes bains ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truits\u00a0\u00e0 la\u00a0fin des ann\u00e9es 1930 et l\u2019estacade laiss\u00e9e dans l\u2019\u00e9tat.
\nEn 1989<\/strong> un comit\u00e9 a lanc\u00e9 une collecte pour en r\u00e9aliser une nouvelle, \u00e9galement toute en bois et a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 r\u00e9unir ainsi les 300’000 CHF n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 sa construction.
\nChacune des 2638 planches<\/strong> n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation de son plancher portent le nom d\u2019un donneur.
\nLongue de 628 m\u00e8tres, elle est probablement la plus longue estacade lacustre au monde et la plus longue r\u00e9alis\u00e9e enti\u00e8rement en bois.
\nElle a \u00e9t\u00e9 inaugur\u00e9e en 1992<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our next stop is at lake Siljanse<\/strong>. The area is called Dalarna<\/strong> and is often compare with Switzerland. The atmosphere is indeed a little pre-alpine<\/strong>, very green with lots of flours in the meadows, beautiful little wooden houses, gentle valleys. We love it!<\/span>
\nAnd so do lots of Swedish and Germans! The campground we have chosen in T\u00e4llberg is full! This is a first for this years trip. But then again we are in July…
\nNever mind we continue to R\u00e4ttvik.<\/strong> The camp site here is much bigger and we find a place no problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here we discover the probably world longest<\/strong> completely wooden pier: 628m<\/strong>! (Anything better in the UK or US?).\u00a0<\/span>
\nConstructed in 1890 the ice in winter takes its toll every winter and mid 1900 a substantial renovation is needed. As we have seen many times in Scandinavia for similar cases funds are raised to maintain the publically well appreciated installation.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe new pier is finally inaugurated in 1992 and in each of the 2368 planes a donators name is engraved. Nice isn’t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Lundi 10 juillet<\/strong>
\nVisite de T\u00e4llberg<\/strong>, petit village de Dal\u00e9carlie<\/strong>, au nord de Leksand<\/strong>, au bord du lac Siljan<\/strong>.
\nCe village de 200 habitants a le caract\u00e8re d\u2019un mus\u00e9e avec ses anciennes maisons de bois entour\u00e9es de barri\u00e8res \u00e0 la su\u00e9doise.
\nDe petit village de paysans en 1900<\/strong> il a maintenant 8 h\u00f4tels et est devenu l\u2019un des endroits les plus visit\u00e9s de Su\u00e8de.<\/p>\n

July 10<\/strong><\/span>
\nT\u00e4llberg<\/strong> at lake Siljan is one of the most visited village in Sweden. It has 200 inhabitants and it is kept like a museum. The houses are 1900 style all in wood. Some very simple other mor elaborated.
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous effectuons une balade d’une dizaine de kilom\u00e8tres autour du village et rencontrons l’un des nombreux refuges qui attendent les randonneurs \u00e0 pied ou en cano\u00eb \u00e0 travers tout le pays.
\nCes refuges sont ouverts et offrent souvent la possibilit\u00e9 d’y dormir sur un plancher \u00e0 l’abri des intemp\u00e9ries.
\nIls sont toujours fournis de bois de feu en quantit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

We follow a 10km tour through and around the village and stop at one of the typical shelters<\/strong> available everywhere in nature parks. There is always wood and a fire place and often there is space for a mat and a sleeping bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Juste avant de revenir \u00e0 l’Azala\u00ef, notre regard est attir\u00e9 par une descente de chenaux d’un type\u00a0assez original.<\/p>\n

Worth a photo! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

C’est devant une tasse de\u00a0caf\u00e9 et une friandise typiquement su\u00e9doise ( Finka) que nous terminons et postons cet article.<\/p>\n

The weather has turned rainy. Perfect moment\u00a0for us to finish and post the blog over a “Finka”<\/strong> which is the Swedish tradition to take a\u00a0filter coffee and\u00a0cake in the afternoon. \u00a0<\/span>
\nDifficult to chose from all the cakes and Danish pastry. Suppose we have to change from our daily\u00a0ice cream\u00a0to daily Finka \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Voici encore une image du parcours effectu\u00e9 depuis Bornholm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And here our tour since we left the Danish island Bornholm. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nous continuons maintenant notre p\u00e9riple vers le nord, plus particuli\u00e8rement vers la partie montagneuse,\u00a0\u00e0 l’Ouest\u00a0de la Su\u00e8de, avant de rejoindre la c\u00f4te Est que nous longerons pour\u00a0redescendre\u00a0vers\u00a0Stockholm.<\/p>\n

A bient\u00f4t pour la suite…….<\/p>\n

We are now at 61\u00b0North (no heat waves for us here…) and will go just a little further up into the Swedish Mountains before joining the east coast and turn south again direction Stockholm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the summer….<\/span><\/p>\n
