Campfire – Niklas Rüffler

22.07.2021 – The Last Day in Sweden

Today was a calm one and not that much happened. After breakfast we went for a small walk around the tongue of land where we stayed and while doing so, we tracked our walk on OpenStreetMap to add new trails to it so other people can find the way, too.
After our small expedition we went swimming in the lake with Lazaro’s inflatable mattresses and sunbathed way out in the water.
After going back on land and sitting around for a while just doing nothing, we collected some firewood and made a small campfire where we ate dinner. And as we had to get up early to get to the camping pitch in Danmark on time, we went to bed after sitting around the fire for a bit longer. Of course „Die Drei ???“ was playing again while we slowly fell asleep.

15.07.2021- Visiting Kopenhagen & Nightswimming in Sweden

We left Fredericia and soon crossed the first of the two bridges, the Storebælt Bridge, on our way to Sweden. Before crossing the Øresund Bridge we stopped in Kopenhagen. There we ate lunch and wandered around a bit and even found a geocache which of course made Lazaro’s heart pound!
Soon after that we drove towards Malmø and in search for a nice place to sleep drove about 40 kilometers eastwards. The search turned out to be harder than expected and it took us a while to find a place. It already got dark when we found Häckebergasjön, a beautiful lake with some islands im the middle and even a castle next to it! Another camper was already standing here but we decided to park next to them. The owners, a belgian couple, sat next to the lake around a nice camp fire and played Ukulele. After setting up the awning we chose to get rid of today’s sweat at least a bit by going night swimming. Of course only after we helped our two neighbors find firewood for the campfire. After that we cooked our dinner: Spaghetti with pesto! The Belgians already went to sleep as they’d planned a hike for the next day. And we followed them shortly after as it was an exhausting day.
