SWEDEN – FINLAND – tour ’14

A dream became true (partially). I was able to make a trip through Sweden, little Norway and Finland on my own within alsmost two weeks. Was driving 8746.3km within this time. You can imagine, how much impressions I have picked up. Now, almust three years later, I’m completeing my photo works. Thise page should give you a rough impressions what I’ve seen and – give an impression about the spectaculare nature of scandinavia. Unfortunately (!) I’ve lost my trip diary, so I only can roughly recapitulate the details and locations.

DAY 1: The way from Munich to Fehmarn

It’s a trip of more than 900km, I did in one turn, starting very early in Munich, having a hot tea on the motorway somewhere to  enjoy the sunset at the cost of the east sea.

DAY 2: Crossing Denmark and heading to the south of Sweden

Since some years it is possible to cross the Oresund – the sea between Denmark and Sweden via a huge Tunnel and Bridge construction. Other exciting bridges are on the way. My visit in Sweden started with a sightseen in the city of Malmö.

Day 4: Norrköping

This beatiful city (even when it doesn’t look alike on the photo below) is a very good example how a lost industrial era can be turned into a high quality of life. The city didn’t demonlish the old industrial building where mainly textiles have been produced. Instead they have turned the buildings into a mix of technology campus, university, bars and lofts. All bildings are standing in a water landscape as the previos industry was dependent on it. –> Worth to visit!
