MINI-Adventure: Sweden / by Gustav Thuesen

GUSTAV-THUESEN-8.jpg

A small escape to the other side of the sound that separates Denmark from Sweden.

Compared to Denmark, Sweden feels like one big wilderness. Denmark is one of the countries in the world with the least wild nature as most of the land has been turned into farmland (the hypocrisy is big when we accuse developing countries for cutting down old forest for agricultural development).

But Sweden is bigger and the nature is wilder. In January it is clear that nature is the dominating force. Windy, rainy, and cold. We did not encounter any other campers - and we took shelter from the elements in a tiny Airbnb for two nights after a night in the tent.

We arrived in the middle of “semlor-season” which is a seasonal traditional roll with whipped cream and marcipan filling. Goes perfectly with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day.

After a few days exploring the Swedish wilderness and enjoying the local specialities we crossed the bridge back to the Danish monoculture landscape. Until next time, Sweden!
