After a peaceful night in nature, we awaken by a beautiful Swedish lake . The fog still lingers over the water, while the first rays of sunlight slowly break through—a dreamy moment that we savor with a hot cup of coffee.  

The stillness of the morning is impressive. The air is fresh, and the water lies before us as smooth as glass. We savor the moment, reflect on the impressions of the past few days, and feel that our Scandinavian trip is slowly coming to an end. One last moment of peace before we move on.

🔥 Highlights of the morning: ✔️ Mystical morning atmosphere with fog over the lake ✔️ Pure nature & absolute tranquility ✔️ Perfect moment for breathtaking photos

On our route through Sweden, we stop at the world's largest wooden bear ! At 13 meters high and weighing 86 tons, this structure is a true landmark of Sveg. The bear was constructed from 570,000 nails and commemorates the brown bears that live in the region.        

It's fascinating to stand in front of this enormous wooden figure. It's hard to imagine the amount of work and precision that went into creating this masterpiece. Even if it's "just" a stop along the way, the detour is definitely worth it!

🔥 Highlights of the wooden bear: ✔️ Impressive 13-meter-high wooden sculpture ✔️ Symbol of Sweden's wild brown bears ✔️ Great photo spot for travel memories

During our journey, we discover an old watermill and a small herd of Highland cattle , perfectly blending into the Swedish landscape. A perfect photo stop to enjoy nature.

🔥 Highlights: ✔️ Historic watermill in beautiful surroundings ✔️ Majestic Highland cattle roaming freely ✔️ Idyllic setting for a short break

For our last night in Sweden, we find another fantastic spot by the water. The perfect opportunity to enjoy one last barbecue as the sun slowly sets.    

We prepare our food on the grill and enjoy the absolute peace and quiet. In moments like these, you feel free and at one with nature. The crackling of the fire, the smell of grilled food, and the view over the reflective lake – a perfect farewell to Sweden.

🔥 Highlights of the evening: ✔️ Dreamy pitch right on the water ✔️ One last barbecue in Scandinavia ✔️ Relaxed end to the day in nature

It happens in the middle of the night: Our last gas bottle is empty! 🫣 Without heating, it gets really cold, and there's no coffee in the morning either—a real challenge!  

The temperature drops well below freezing, and we wrap ourselves in every available blanket. But the cold creeps into every crack. Without gas also means no hot water, no heating, no coffee—an uncomfortable night that teaches us an important lesson.

Luckily we can fill up our gas bottle in Gävle , an important information for all campers in Sweden!  

🔥 Tips for campers: ✔️ Always have a spare gas bottle with you ✔️ Research gas stations beforehand ✔️ Warm blankets as an emergency solution

On the way home, we cross the Øresund Bridge , which connects Sweden to Denmark. At 8 kilometers long and with a subsequent 4-kilometer tunnel, it is an engineering masterpiece and offers magnificent views of the Øresund.
