SOUTHERN SWEDEN<br />

A journey across <strong>Sweden</strong> could begin in the South<br />

– a region known for its pastoral countryside,<br />

beautiful beaches, cozy restaurants and endless<br />

forests.<br />

With its wide range of leisure activities, the southern<br />

part of <strong>Sweden</strong> has something to offer everyone.<br />

The granite cliffs along the western coast, softened<br />

during thousands of years by the North Sea, make<br />

an ideal setting for sailing and old-fashioned<br />

seaside holidays. Many visitors spend time in the<br />

picturesque fishing villages with their welcoming<br />

harbors and the archipelago in the east. There are<br />

thousands of kilometers of hiking and bicycle trails<br />

criss-crossing the south, and numerous historical<br />

and archeological sites to visit.<br />

Combine the stay with a city break in Gothenburg,<br />

known for its seafood and Scandinavia’s largest<br />

amusement park, or a stop-over in Malmö, where<br />

you will find the Turning Torso – the architectural<br />

masterpiece of Santiago Calatrava – and the 15.9<br />

kilometer long Öresund bridge that connects<br />

<strong>Sweden</strong> and Denmark. Or why not spend a few days<br />

in Österlen, in the extreme south, where there are<br />

ample opportunities to explore modern Swedish<br />

gastronomy at its best?<br />

The South has a history which is rich with myths<br />

and legends. Many of the old tales carry the moral<br />

sense of the need to watch out for ill intentions<br />

and guard your secrets well. In the wrong hands,<br />

some information can become lethal and the most<br />

innocent of secrets may be used against you. When<br />

stakes are high – sweet dreams can turn into virtual<br />

nightmares.<br />

What is your worst fear?<br />
