We had booked the "Red Tour" – and it really packed a punch. The route led right through the wilderness of Småland and offered some of the longest, highest and fastest zipline sections in the whole park.

Again and again we flew high over treetops, rocks and small lakes. At times we reached speeds of up to 80 km/h, hovering up to 52 metres above the ground. Particularly impressive was the combination of adrenaline and nature – you raced through the air and at the same time had an incredible view over the Swedish landscape.

A real highlight was the section through the nature area in the middle of the forest. Between the individual ziplines we walked short paths through the wilderness, which made the tour even more varied. The long lines in particular gave us goosebumps again and again – above all the spectacular line over 400 metres long.

The weather couldn't have been better: brilliant sunshine, pleasant temperatures and a fantastic view over the forests of Småland. That made the whole tour even more impressive.

The entire park made an incredibly high-quality impression. Everywhere you could see how much importance is placed on safety, nature and experience. At the same time the mood was relaxed and friendly.

For us this experience was definitely one of the biggest highlights of our trip to Sweden. It was incredibly good fun, perfectly organised and offered just the right mix of adventure, nature and thrills. One thing's for sure: we'll definitely do it again.

Special thanks to our two guides on the tour, Phillip and Aigars.

After this great adventure, our journey took us further south to Ale's Stones (Ales stenar) – one of the most impressive historic sites in Sweden. The way there was beautiful: from the small fishing village of Kåseberga, a short walk led uphill past green meadows up onto the cliffs above the Baltic Sea.

At the top a breathtaking view awaited us. Right on the cliff edge lies the huge stone setting of 59 large boulders arranged in the shape of a ship. The monument is about 67 metres long and probably dates from the Viking Age or even earlier.

The atmosphere at this place was particularly fascinating. With its location high above the sea, the wind, the vastness and the silence, everything felt almost mystical. At the same time you have a fantastic view from up there over the Baltic and the surrounding Scanian landscape.

To this day it isn't entirely clear what purpose Ale's Stones originally served. Some suspect a burial site, others an astronomical calendar or a place of worship. It's exactly this mystery that makes the place all the more exciting.

We spent some time there, walked between the mighty stones and simply enjoyed the view and the special atmosphere. After this stop we continued towards Trelleborg, as our ferry back to Germany left the next day.

We found a place to spend the night in Beddingestrand – a spot right on the fine sandy beach with a café, a kiosk and a small shop.
