For this day we had planned a few things we wanted to see, as the weather at least promised dryness. The first thing to do was to Knislinge, about us <strong>Wanas Castle<\/strong> and the associated <strong>Artist park<\/strong> to watch. On arrival my husband looked at the information desk and came back with the result that the park itself would have cost us \u20ac 20.00 per person. That was too expensive for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It went on after <strong>Asarum<\/strong>. There we looked at a small ruin of an old paper mill. The ruin itself, at least the standing part, is still very well preserved. This mill was put into operation around 1760. The walls that are still standing are from a reconstruction from 1855 as it was destroyed by fire. The mill was in operation until 1919, when production was transferred to a larger town. The way back we walked through the adjacent nature reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Papierm\u00fchle\" class=\"wp-image-2369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Papiermuehle.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Paper mill on a stream that flows into a large lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Br\u00e4kne-hoby there is said to be a small, enchanted forest with huge granite blocks.

The waves were high for us for the Baltic Sea. Halfway through, a gravel road goes back to the main road, which we then walked.

Nobody has accepted it. In the morning we thought about spending another night here. The weather wasn&#039;t the best either, it was raining again. When it got better at noon, we walked the other half of the circular route. We even saw a large sailing ship on the horizon and there were some large boulders on the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ein Dreimaster vor Karlskrona\" class=\"wp-image-2345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ein-Dreimaster-vor-Karlskrona.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A three-master<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost at the end of the road, near the jetty, we found old defenses. Much has collapsed, but there was still a well-preserved surveillance bunker right on the coast. Unfortunately there are no signs to the complex. The next day it should then continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Karlskrona-%E2%80%93-eine-kleine-Kriegsstadt\"><\/span><strong>Karlskrona - a small war town<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are on our way to <strong>Karlskrona<\/strong> made. The city itself stands on several small islands and is connected by bridges. It is an old war town that was founded in 1679 by Karl XI or Hans Wachtmeister. Then it became the main base of the Swedish fleet. Since almost all naval buildings and weir systems are still in very good condition, Karlskrona has been a World Heritage Site since 1998. There is also a large naval museum on one of the islands, but this could not be visited with a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Karlskrona\" class=\"wp-image-2362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>View of the marine district with the museum. Behind us is the forbidden zone with military area and submarine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To want to take photos you had to look really well, because the whole military building had a prohibition sign. There was even a submarine in the harbor, which of course you weren&#039;t allowed to photograph. The city center is quite small and mostly empty that day, there were only a few pedestrians and shoppers on the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we got hungry, we got something to eat at a small snack and sat on a bench nearby. We then realized what the pigeons are here in Germany, the crows and ravens are here. We were surrounded and they are less afraid than our pigeons. That they didn&#039;t steal the food from Sebastian&#039;s hand was a real miracle. In between then a crow flew by very close, so that Finja drove it away with barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Marktplatz Karlskrona\" class=\"wp-image-2364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marktplatz-Karlskrona.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Karlskrona market square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then on the way back to the car it started to rain. We hoped it wouldn&#039;t last long because we wanted to go to another lookout point. This then led us to an island and was supposed to be a kind of ship graveyard. The coast is said to be home to several wrecks. However, we did not find any real access to it. The paths went a little over private property and then led to a sheep meadow. It&#039;s a shame, we were looking forward to it. However, from one point you had a nice view over the sea to Karlskrona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Karlskrona im Regen\" class=\"wp-image-2361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Karlskrona-im-Regen.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>View of Karlskrona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more tips on Karlskrona here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwedentipps.se\/blekinge\/karlskrona\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Schwedentipps.de (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Schwedentipps.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went to our overnight place in Svanhala, where one could stand by a small boat harbor. Since we were standing here alone and far enough from the settlement, Sebastian once let the drone fly and took beautiful pictures. The next morning we understood why the road to the harbor had so many potholes. Then two large fire engines came to take a coffee break here. After half an hour they were gone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00fcste in Schweden\" class=\"wp-image-2389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-in-Schweden.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Coast in Sweden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00fcste der Sch\u00e4ren\" class=\"wp-image-2388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kueste-der-Schaeren.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A look at the other side of the coast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kalmar-%E2%80%93-schones-Schlos-mit-guter-Verteidigung\"><\/span><strong>Kalmar - beautiful castle with good defense<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At our overnight place it was still very stormy and rainy as well as cold in the morning.

The<strong> Kalmar Castle<\/strong> is right behind it on a small island and you can see it really well from the outside. All around is a deep ditch or the Kalmar Sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"220 Meter Bank in Kalmar\" class=\"wp-image-2337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/220-Meter-Bank-in-Kalmar.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>220 meter bench in Kalmar at the cemetery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The interiors are currently closed to visitors, but you can walk into the courtyard and on the battlements. The current appearance of the castle was given to it by the Wasa kings in the 16th century. Originally built to defend against pirates, it later became one of Sweden&#039;s strongest defenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Schlo\u00df Kalmar\" class=\"wp-image-2373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schloss-Kalmar.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Kalmar Castle with four heavily secured bastions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It has round defense towers at all 4 corner points, which have shooting windows and cannon windows at different heights. So it was possible to defend from all directions. The castle was besieged 22 times in the Middle Ages, but it was never conquered.
