Bräkentorpasjön

Only a few hours drive from Copenhagen you will find the lovely Swedish countryside.
The bedrock in Denmark is deeply buried under kilometres of thick deposits for about 500 million years ago.
These deposits generally consist of sand, clay, lime, chalk.
In Sweden you always find the bedrock peeping out everywhere.

We visited some family, and the opportunity arose for a walk by an old favourite lake of ours.
For years it was a tradition to take a walk in the forest and around the lake Bräkentorpasjön.
Happily we found that things hadn’t change except for an area swept clean by the storm Gudrun back in 2005.
The Swedes categorise Gudrun as a century storm due to the catastrophic damage it made.

STF Hostel, Linggården in Södra Ljunga is a great place to stay. Nice surroundings and nice people.

I’ve heard many stories about the country life in Sweden from ours friends who were born and raised there. I have had the pleasure walking in their footsteps, literally.
They grew up with a solid traditions for outdoor life. They have a close and respectful relationship with nature, which they have passed on to their children and grandchildren.

Grandchildren? Yes! The first is on the way ❤
Good luck on the mountain, in the woods, on the horse and in the forest lake …

The pictures below are from Rude Skov and Jægersborg Dyrehave in Denmark.

Farewell to the Farm
The coach is at the door at last;
The eager children, mounting fast
And kissing hands, in chorus sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
To house and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow-gates we swang upon,
To pump and stable, tree and swing,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
And fare you well for evermore,
O ladder at the hayloft door,
O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
Crack goes the whip, and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last, round the woody turn we sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
By Robert Louis Stevenson
