Hälsingland - a landscape we love!

We like Hälsingland. That's what we've come to realise on this trip. The landscape offers fantastic nature, both on the coast and inland, and a large dose of exciting culture. We have sometimes been annoyed (or laughed at) that there are information gaps and signposting challenges.

We have been wrong sooo many times. Countless are the times when we have not found our way at all. Not to mention all the total misunderstandings about opening hours. We think the irritation was greatest in the beginning. Then there was a bit more laughter and a more relaxed attitude ...

"This is Hälsingland!" we said to each other sometimes. The advantages, on the other hand: the slightly disorganised, the magical nature, all the fantastic opportunities to free camp. We like Hälsingland - a lot!

The photo below is from Växbo Kvarn - a fantastic place with a good and affordable pitch. Unfortunately, the restaurant and shops will close in 2024 (due to the place being up for sale), but Trolldalen next door will remain open with a café and sale of linen products.

Vinströmmen - Magical free camping in Hälsingland

We've done a lot of free camping in Hälsingland. We didn't even check the apps, there was always a lake to drive down to... All the places were nice, but one place was more magical than the others. We got tips about Wine streamsand now we're passing the word on. Absolutely magical! We showed some pictures yesterday, in the report on Ljusdal. Here are some more pictures:

Dalarna

Now we have rolled on to Dalarna. We haven't had time to see much yet, but of course Dala horses are everywhere!

One big difference we feel is that Dalarna feels more "crowded" compared to Hälsingland. So far, there has been more traffic, more noise and much more difficult to free camp. Men Dalarna offers a lot of exciting places, so we are really looking forward to this!

Recovery

It may seem "lazy" to kayak around with a motorhome, but the fact is that we sometimes get very tired of all the impressions. Although it's fun, there's a lot of photographing, taking notes, intercepting, understanding ...

On top of that, we often have to deal with having to economise on electricity and water, and sometimes having limited internet coverage. Because we work, everything has to work, so it can also be stressful. Now we've decided to stay at a campsite for two days, to wash, clean and work. (And maybe get some sun!) Happy Friday!

The week ahead

We are now in Dalarna. We start calmly, with laundry and work, but we soon plan to look around a bit everywhere, focusing on "Siljan around". This will be exciting!
