Then we continued north with a stop in Älmhult, where we visited the IKEA Museum (admission: 60 SEK per adult). In perfect weather we immersed ourselves in IKEA's history – and of course köttbullar in the restaurant couldn't be missed.

In the evening we reached our accommodation with Tobias and Nicole. Tobias and Nicole are emigrants from Germany who moved to Sweden with their family a few years ago and run a small campsite – bookable via https://www.senhemmet.de

An incredibly warm atmosphere, absolute peace and a dreamlike landscape with lots of animals: sheep, horses, ducks, cats and even pigs. The next morning we treated ourselves to a breakfast with lots of homemade delicacies – a real highlight. The night cost only 25 euros, breakfast extra – but worth every cent.

In glorious weather (24 degrees at the beginning of May!) we continued towards Stockholm. As our campsite was only booked from Sunday, we made a stop in Älberga.

There we found a dreamlike spot right on the lake. Officially free of charge, but the local association welcomes donations. For us it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy.

On the way to Stockholm we stopped at impressive Gripsholm Castle. The castle dates from the 16th century and is one of Sweden's best-known historic buildings. We found the well-preserved interiors and the national portrait collection particularly fascinating – a journey through Swedish history.
