At 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, Jesper woke me up with the words “I want to go somewhere for a day trip“. We thought about it for a while. The city center was out of the question due to the half marathon. We had been talking about Uppsala for quite some time but never actually…
It’s time to explore Sweden a little bit more! This time we visit Borensberg – a quaint small town next to Lake Boren. We recommend you to make a detour to this charming place if you are visiting any of the main towns in the area, such as Linköping or Motala. Göta Kanal has taught…
The towns around lake Vättern tend to be quite small and cozy. Motala is no exception and the city offers a relaxed atmosphere for most of its visitors. With around 30.000 inhabitants it is the third largest town in the province of Östergötland and the second largest locality along the shores of Lake Vättern. Jönköping…
Do you like chocolate? Well, if you do then there are only a few places in Sweden which you need to visit in order to fulfill your needs. If you travel to Ljungsbro you will find one of the most classic factories in Sweden when it comes to producing both chocolate and other sweets. Does…
When the August winds blow and the fields turn yellow, what better thing to do than go on yet another Sweden road trip? We write a lot about travel, but sometimes it is easy to forget the domestic aspect of wandering and exploring. Last weekend we decided to inspect our nearest surroundings, so we borrowed…
There are quite a few small places here in Sweden that most people living in this country seem to know about. Berg is one of these, even though it might not be Berg itself that people have heard about. Rather, everybody is familiar with the canal that passes the locality. Berg is a part of…
Yesterday it was once more time for a running competition here in Stockholm. This time it was Bellmanstafetten, a 5×5 kilometers relay. Hundreds of teams with 5 members each were ready to take turns and run the 5 kilometers long lap. The race is organized in Northern Djurgården here in Stockholm. The most exciting part…
Yesterday evening it was time for the second running competition for this year. Both of us participated in Trosa Stadslopp at the beginning of July. It was now time for Midnattsloppet here in Stockholm. Sadly Susann felt a bit ill and decided not to run, so it was only me (Jesper) who did run in the end….

Arboga is one of those small towns that you usually just drive by without giving it too much thought. We were actually told that it would not be worth a visit. Being stubborn we decided to make a stop in the town anyway. As it turned out, it was definitely not a waste of time…
Örebro is another pearl among all of the Swedish towns and cities. The city is located beautifully at the stream Svartån just at the western shores of lake Hjälmaren, Sweden’s fourth largest lake. It is a city with a long history of being the center of Scandinavia, standing where the roads between Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Oslo meet….
