Sweden II: Örebro - Umeå

06/22 The way over the river Mälaren is blocked for the next 10 minutes


06/23 At the campground in Uppsala: These two car drivers from South Korea came all the way from home. As tHey were travelling a good portion on the same streets in Russia as I did, we had a long conversation while we are having a delicious, but quite spicy corean dinner together.


06/25 Fika: My favorite things to do in Sweden. Having a coffee and a Kanelbullar.


06/26 Oscarsborg in Söderhamn


06/27 The name of this little village (pop. less than 10) indicates what was happening: I finished the second thousand kilometer

06/28 a bad decision for a shortcut leaded to this road-conditions.


06/28 Sundsvall from above


06/29 The Höga Kusten Bridge. Unfortunately, it is closed for bicycles (even so many cyclists take the bridge). I took the 40 km detour as it was a quite nice landscape.


07/01 The Area of Höga Kusten is a very pretty piece of Sweden.


07/01 Here I med Sascha and Anna with their little daughter Sascha (Александра). They are coming from Petrozavodsk in Karelia.


07/01 E4 - not to be recommended for cyclists. Imagine the trucks thet are overtaking here. I drove mostly on the smaller roads, but some stretches are unavoidable. From Umeå on, I will drive more west on the Inlandsvägen.
