RouteXpert Review We first drive a short short distance along the sea. Then we take the main road 27 to Ronneby and Karlskrona. First through Ronneby (RP3), a picturesque town in a beautiful spot. Then to Karlskrona, a beautiful old place, on an island in the sea (RP4). There is much to experience. For example, go to the naval museum (Marinmuseum) or take a look in the center at the two churches Trefaldighetskyrkan and Fredrikskyrkan. You can also stop here for something to eat or drink.
Beyond Karlskrona are many nature parks on islands in the sea. We skip Sturkö and T Jurkö (and many more islands). The route does run over Torhamn (RP5), a nature reserve where many migratory birds pass. There are some small harbors where you can possibly drink or eat something (Cafe Måsen, Sail Inn).
We drive along Kristianopel (RP7), where you can enjoy the sea and admire kite surfers. At Kalmar (RP10) you can visit the castle (very beautiful!). It is therefore time to have lunch. For that it is best to walk into the old center (also beautiful!). For example, you can eat at the water at Ölandskajens Fisk & Mat or inside at Gröna Stugan. That will take you at least an hour here.
Via the bridge at Kalmar we drive to Öland and immediately turn right to Mörbylänga. The town itself is not much. The route there and along is beautiful. A little further you will find another kind of Stonehenge: Gettlinge gravfält (RP12), a burial place of the Vikings in the shape of a ship, just like at Käseberga. Then we go to the southernmost tip of the island to see the lighthouse Långe Jan (RP13). We go up again on the island and stop at the camping Ottenby (RP14).
The route gets 4 points from me, although it is almost 5. There is a lot to see and do, the roads are fine and sometimes very beautiful.

Route Collections in this region South Sweden in 9 days
Southern Sweden, Götaland: a very varied area. In the south mainly flat, meadows, sea, views, beach, busy ports. More to the north, dense forests, hills, gravel roads, quiet towns (we would call them villages), lakes. And then Öland: a large, flat island with several surprises such as the two lighthouses, the Iron Age fortress on the southern tip, nice little harbours, castles and ruins, also of the Swedish royal couple. And wooden houses everywhere, nature, friendly people, space. The word "cute" sometimes crosses my mind. So knotty. The roads are mostly good, even the gravel roads are fine without any off-road experience or motorcycle. This route collection contains 9 routes of more than 2000 kilometers and takes you along the outer edges of Götaland: from Malmö along the east coast via Ystad, Karlshamm, Karlskrona and Kalmar to the island of Öland. From there the route heads inland to Vimmerby, back to the coast at Västervik, up to Linköping and Motala to the large Lake Vättern. Further down via Jonköping to Gothenburg on the west coast and then via a trip inland to enjoy the forests, lakes, gravel roads and nature via Varberg, Halmstad and Helsingborg back to Malmö.
The starting point is Malmö, at ""the bridge"" over the Kattengat between Denmark and Sweden. We drove there by taking the ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby and then crossing the bridge over the Danish islands of Lolland, Falster and Sjaelland via Copenhagen. But you can also take the ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg. Or you can drive all the way overland via Kolding and Odense in Denmark.
In addition to the sights below, there are special towns, nature reserves and castles/mansions in which route you can admire.
Route 1 goes along the coast of the southernmost tip of Sweden, the province of Skåne, through beautiful nature reserves and well-known towns such as Ystad to Karlshamm. Sights: a Viking village at Skanör, Skanör itself, Smygehuk (the southernmost tip of Sweden), Ystad (Wallander!), the stone formation at Käseberga, car museum at Simrishamn.
Route 2 goes through the province of Blekinge past towns like Ronneby and Kalmar to the island of Öland. Sights: kitesurf beach at Kristianopel, rock formation at Gettlinge, lighthouse Långe Jan.
Route 3 goes over Öland and then some more into the forests of the mainland towards Vimmerby. Sights: the ancient castle at Eketorp, Trollskogen (forest with strangely shaped trees and a beach with the wreck of a stranded boat), lighthouse Långe Erik, the special rock formations in the sea of Byrums raukar, Aboda lake and viewpoint.
Route 4 is a bit shorter because you then end at Vimmerby: the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren (from Pippi, among others). Sights: a moose park, an ancient oak, Vimmerby with Astrid Lindgren's amusement park and birth house annex museum.
Route 5 takes you back to the east coast at Västervik and then heads north and back inland to Linköping. Sights: a moose park (more beautiful than the previous day), a troll forest at Gamleby (ABBA city...), knight's castle Ekenäs, the Göta Canal with a lock complex.
Route 6 is also shorter and continues along the Göta Canal to Motala on Lake Vättern and then south to Gränna, where you can cross over to Visingsö Island. The route is shorter because you then have time to visit Visingsö. Sights: car and motorcycle museum and aquarium in Motala, Alvastra monastery ruins, Visingsö, observation tower, boat trip.
Route 7 takes you via Jönköping to Gothenburg. Sights: old wooden houses near Huskvarna (Jönköping) and of course Gothenburg.
Route 8 goes back into the country so you can enjoy the beautiful forests and lakes and gravel roads again. Then back to the coast with nice towns such as Varberg and Falkenberg. Sights: an old mill, a wooden bathhouse in the sea, beach, museum with remains of aircraft from the Second World War.
Route 9 takes you back to Malmö, although you can also cross over to Denmark earlier at Helsingborg. First you pass the beautiful city of Halmstad and the viewpoint at Mölle. Sights: a special bakery annex lunchroom, beach that can be driven on, lighthouse.
A collection with very varied routes, many sights with something for everyone, excellent roads and also pieces of gravel that can be ridden. Of course you can change the daily schedule by making routes longer, shortening or combining them. If you skip all the sights, you can also drive this in 7 days.
