Via Germany to Sweden
Your holiday starts of course from the departure in Utrecht . On the way on the motorway in Germany there is time to switch to your holiday mode . Just leave all the daily worries behind you.
We sail by ferry from Travemünde (Germany) to Malmö (Sweden). In the early morning we pass Copenhagen in the distance and sail under the Öresund Bridge . This way you wake up wonderfully and start your day with a fresh sea breeze.

From Malmö to Linköping
We drive north on the E4 with the Swedish Skärgården as our destination. You can drive this in one day but we take our time and stay one night each in Malmö , Gränna and Linköping so that we can get to know Sweden along the way and the journey to the north will be an experience in itself.
One of the beautiful stops: The locks in the Göta Canal near the town of Berg.
Day program
Day 1 - Utrecht - Travemünde / 520 KM.
We leave promptly at 09:00 in Utrecht . On the way there is time for a first introduction in the group.
