RouteXpert Review A Viking village has been recreated near Skanör: Foteviken. Nice to have a look (RP3). On the Skanör peninsula (RP4) you can take a look at the beach. It looks a bit like the Wadden: a green lagoon with dunes and the beach behind it. There are also wooden beach houses. The Falsterbohus castle is a ruin of a small castle. Little is left. The shape is still clearly recognizable and the foundation is still standing. Another ruin is located on the west side of the island. There it is also nice to walk through nature.
Trelleborg (RP6) is a typical small port town. There is not much to do. Some shops and ice and fishing places. A water tower with a cafe in it. And of course a museum about the town. We did not go into it. The harbor is nice: many ferries still leave for Germany, but also Lithuania.
Just before Smygehamm you can stop at Smygehuk: the most southerly place in Sweden (RP8). There is a small harbor there and a nice place to relax, have something to eat or drink.
After this we make a short detour along Charlottenlunds castle (RP9). A beautiful country house in a green oasis. A bit of gravel after that, easy to drive (RP10).
We continue to Ystad (RP11). Another city with its own detective series (Wallander). And therefore also known for its blue pastry from Fridolfs konditori. It has a nice center with many wooden houses and ... an art museum and a former monastery with a historical museum.
You will then arrive at Käseberga (RP12), where you can visit the ship-shaped monolith "Ales stenar". A nice place because you also have a beautiful view over the sea. When we were there, the grass was red with poppies. In Sandhammaren (RP13) you can go to the beach via a nice road. On the beach you walk on boards, because of the wet sand there. There is a small wooden house with a view and a kiosk that appears to be open at times.
We drive to a car museum in Simrishamn with a special collection, by Nisse Nilsson (RP14). You can see cars, but also motorcycles, scooters and even planes. Here in Simrishamn you can also have a great lunch, by the sea at Röken by Sonesson or simply on the beach in the beach pavilion: freshly smoked fish! You can also take a boat from Simrishamn to Bornholm island (Denmark) and drive a route there. There is a route on MRA about Bornholm, and it is very worthwhile (I made it ...).
After this we drive through some nature parks and go over gravel at Gyllebo (RP15-RP16).
A lot further on at Bromölla is a campsite "Strandängens Camping & Vandrarhem" (turn left at RP19). It is located on a lake but with industry and a major road nearby. Here you can spend the night, or you can drive another 45 kilometers towards Karlskrona.
If you drive on, you will pass a tiny museum: Ängabacken Lantbruksmuseum (RP21). It is not clear whether it will still open. They seem to have some very old motorcycles there.
After a possible visit to the museum, we continue to the end of this ride. Here you can choose from two campsites to stay overnight. Camping 1 Lägerplats Åkroken (RP22) in Mörrum is located on a river and is not a real campsite with facilities, but a wonderful place to camp. In terms of restaurants, you are limited to pizzerias and fast food. Or you cook something yourself. A little further in the harbor town of Karlshamm is camping number 2 Kolleviks Camping (RP24), which is beautifully situated on the bay, with a beach and a harbor. Several restaurants can be found here, such as Suki Sushi and Carlmans.
The route gets 4 stars from me. It is a beautiful area with good roads, but a bit of dull landscape at times. Despite there is a lot to see.

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.
