It’s been a long ride since Varberg but I’ve reached the Baltic and clicked over on a 1,000 kms since the start. The days have started blurring together. And for the most part it seems I was in forests or woods alongside lakes. Every so often something catches ones eye like this cross high up on the side of a barn.
And I’m not sure what the purpose of this mound was, but it wasn’t the first and I suspect will to be the last. Possibly an early wintering ‘hold’ for animals.
This is Kalmar Castle. While we often think of Sweden as a neutral country, they actually have a past full of wars – particularly , it seems , with the Danes.
And to end with, here is the Öland bridge, at 6,072 meters in length, it’s one of the longest in Europe and certainly the longest in Sweden. no bicycles allowed!
