Autumn in Sweden - oops, but it's still summer 🥴 Campsite recommendation: 'Åråshult Camping'

Although we traveled to Sweden on Monday, we didn't really arrive until today (Friday) 😄

Until today, it has been cool with temperatures up to a maximum of 15 °C (honestly, even less), wind, clouds, and occasional rain 😏 So it actually felt like autumn. We ended up driving about 700 km to southern Sweden faster than expected. It felt like driving through a clearing in the forest the whole time (hardly any villages, if any, small ones with hardly any shopping opportunities, etc.), with occasionally a lake (if it could be seen through the trees ;o) and two good things happened right away!

First, since yesterday afternoon, it has been warm and sunny, but in pleasant amounts 😎

Second, we are staying at a great, individual campsite. Because of the design of the campsite, it feels much more like standing in a garden, specifically a lovingly designed garden that is not pompous or fancy 👌

Each pitch has seating and a fire pit, with firewood provided, and they are mostly arranged so that you can have your privacy (although there are also pitches that are arranged so that you can stand with friends, for example, with three people, which is also used). In addition, they are generously divided for Scandinavian standards (as far as we can judge). The whole area is dotted with small lakes, so many pitches also have a terrace by the lake. Furthermore, there are several jetties and bridges that connect the site. Even the entrance is very quaint and even something like waste disposal is individually designed. Really with a lot of attention to detail. There are also bicycles to borrow and, for example, a grill can be provided. Triene also likes it a lot, because the whole thing is embedded (as it should be) in a forest area, so you can go for nice walks from the site.

Since there is not much to report regarding our previous experiences in Sweden and the landscape is rather monotonous and certainly not as sensational as in Norway (sorry to all Sweden fans, Sweden certainly has its charm too 😉), this time we have mainly selected photos to show you 'Åråshult Camping' (we start with some impressions of our previous sites).

For those who want to go to Sweden, a serious tip for overnight stays (there are also cabins for rent). If we have sparked your interest, here is a link to the campsite's website: http://www.arashultcamping.se/en/

Oh yeah, the pitch costs 250 Swedish krona (about €25) per night, including everything. There is even good WiFi (which is not an additional cost in Scandinavia, and there is no separate fee for the dog either. In Germany, both are sometimes disproportionately expensive). The only downside is that the water has a brownish discoloration, which is supposed to be due to a high iron content. However, it is supposed to be filtered and drinkable, and since we are not the only ones on the site and apparently everyone is fine, we believe it (although we probably won't drink or use it for cooking, just like in Southern Europe 🥴)

Definitely a reason to stay longer... 😁
