Monicas trips 2022

 In 1998, Karlskrona was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list  because it is an exceptionally well preserved example of a European naval city. GunBritt and I spent a whole day exploring this beautiful coastal town. The sky was blue and the temperature pleasant.  We started off walking along the harbor to the Maritime museum.There we learned about how the old warships were built and what kind of weapons they used. So much information! This museum is worth a visit for sure.

Ale stenar  Ale stenar is the largest and best preserved ship setting in Sweden. The 59 stone boulders stand high on the Kåseberga ridge with a fantastic view of the sea. The ship setting is about 70 meters long and 19 meters wide. Each boulder weighs around 5 tonnes.  It was erected sometime between year 500- 1000. After the visit to this fantastic place we had a typical lunch meal for this area: Fried herring with mashed potatoes.

The most southern point in Sweden  

Ystad is the town where Wallander is a police officer in Mankells murder mysterious. Ystad is an old town with lots of old houses from 1200- 1700. We loved taking photos of them.
