Start:  Frillesberg  Finish:  Kungsbacka Distance:  15 Total:  2084 Today’s walk got off to a chilly start. It was 57 outside when I got started at 8:00 and only warmed up to 63. In addition, there was a 20 mph west wind blowing off the North Sea. I started the day wearing a jacket until I … Continue reading »

Start:  Varberg Finish:  Frillesberg Distance:  17 Total:  2069 I had a nice little 17 mile stroll up the Swedish coastline to the very small town of Frillesberg today.  The day got started with a great breakfast (fried bacon)!  The hotel I stayed in last night in Varberg was interesting, but I think the owners have … Continue reading »

Start:  Falkenberg  Finish:  Varberg Distance:  18 Total:  2052 Today I walked 18 miles in about as straight of a line as you can get. There were no towns, no stores or gas stations; nothing but a lot of farms and the shoulder of the road.  The day got started with a good breakfast at the … Continue reading »

Start:  Steninge Finish:  Falkenberg Distance:  15 Total:  2034 Today’s journey farther north up the coast of Sweden was most enjoyable. No rain, no traffic; just a bunch of crazy horseflies that are persistent and won’t leave me alone. Sometimes I have to swat them away with my hat.  After a restful stay and good breakfast … Continue reading »

Start:  Halmstad Finish:  Steninge Distance:  12 Total:  2019 I never know what I’m getting myself into from one day to the next. My walking today was pretty straight forward, though it was in the rain, but my lodging experience tonight is one for the record books.  As I mentioned yesterday, I was suppose to walk … Continue reading »

Start:  Skummeslovesstrand Finish:  Halmstad Distance:  18 Total:  2007 Today’s route took me from the beach town of Skummeslovesstrand to the port city of Halmstad. My route was actually a few miles inland from the coast so I was walking through farmland most of the day.  I got started this morning at 8:45 after waiting out … Continue reading »

Start:  Angelholm Finish:  Skummeslovsstrand Distance:  19 Total:  1989 Today’s route took me farther north along the Swedish Coast to the beach town of Skummeslovsstrand.  The day once again got started with early rain showers that ended by the time I started walking at 8:15. Today’s temperature was cool enough to need long pants and a … Continue reading »

Start:  Helsingborg  Finish:  Angelholm Distance:  17 Total:  1970 What a nice day I had for my first full day walking in Sweden.  Let me tell you about it.  I got on the road this morning at 8:15 after a good breakfast at my hotel in Helsingborg. The weather forecast called for rain starting at 10:00 … Continue reading »

Start:  Vedbaek, Denmark Finish:  Helsingborg, Sweden Distance:  15 Total:  1953 Today was significant in that I completed my walk across Denmark. That’s five countries down, two to go.  The day got off to a somewhat slow start. When I woke up this morning and looked outside, it was raining right down. I wasn’t expecting that, … Continue reading »

Start:  Copenhagen  Finish:  Vedbaek Distance:  1938 Total:  16 I had a great day walking north out of Copenhagen and 16 miles along the Danish coastline to Vedbaek.  I made a commitment that before I left Copenhagen, I would do whatever it took to go see their most famous and photographed street, Nyhavn Street. Since I … Continue reading »
