Oh my goodness, what a whirlwind this day was!! :) This was our last full day in Sweden. The trip absolutely went by in a flash. It seemed like we had only just gotten there! It was so bittersweet to be moving on. I absolutely loved every single minute of our time in this stunning country. Everything simply radiated with colorful beauty and quiet peacefulness. So missing it right now! :)
On our last day, we headed out bright and early for a biking adventure through the gorgeous region of Österlen. I had no idea what an adventure we were in for! :)
Led by our amazingly athletic guide Per from Adventua, we rode along the coast of the Baltic Sea from the quiet fishing village of Baskemölla to the utterly charming beachside community of Vik. We passed this cute little Moo Cow along the way! :)
I absolutely loved the precious beach cottages in Vik!
This was such a darling community.
The houses were like dollhouses! The homes were closeknit and the roads were just big enough for one car.
I was in awe at how beautifully landscaped each and every home was. Every yard was overflowing with roses! :)
We turned away from the coast and continued on through lush, shady forests, and then our landscape opened up to bright blue skies and sweeping hills of farmland.
Sugar beet farms.
Golden fields of hay.
All in all, we pedaled nearly 15 miles up and down hills, on gravel roads, through sandy beaches, and across wooded mountain trails. I absolutely loved discovering this beautiful region of Sweden.

Zoom in and click on each marker to see what we did there, or click here to see a larger map with a list of all the points of interest. Zoom in on the orange line to see our biking path around Österlen. Definitely be sure to zoom in around Malmö. On my last afternoon in Sweden I had the fabulous opportunity to go on a shopping expedition all over Malmö with my own personal shopper and stylist! Mia showed me some of the CUTEST spots in Malmö, and I’ve marked them on the map for you to check out. If you are ever anywhere near Malmö, you must give these shops a visit! :) Contact Mia to find more of Malmö’s cutest boutiques and arrange your own personal shopping day!

You know, I’ve never even considered Sweden as a place I wanted to visit…until now.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Amanda I think you are going to put Sweden on a lot of people’s vacation radar after this trip! just stunning photos!!
I am packing my bags right now! What a beautiful place!
Enchanting…beautiful photos.
Amanda, it looks like a fairytale! I need to start sending my hubby anonymous emails about Sweden…. maybe he’ll get the clue!. :)
Your photos are certainly beautiful to look at, but I originally found your website through liking your recipes and you haven’t posted one since April! Is that just not a priority anymore and will this be a photography/travel blog from now on?
Seriously Sweden! Who knew you were so gorgeous! Love all the pictures :)
What a wonderful way to see the countryside! I’ve loved following your trip, Amanda! Thank you for sharing.
beautiful pictures!

I’ve been watching the PBS Wallander series and Sweden never looked this good! I thought it was all gray and dark, and full of ominous fields of grain blowing violently against (more) gray skies. After seeing your pictures I might consider coming here after all. In the summer of course!
Stunning photos! Would love to be able to travel one day. sigh…maybe after my Lego picking up career is over…
Oh Amanda, with each of your posts I want to visit glorious Sweden even more!!! Stunning photos of this beautiful countryside :)
Sweden is on my bucket travel list and I will refer to all of your FAB posts :)
Just incredible Amanda. My favorite is the picture with the red barn and the trail of red flowers along the road. Just so beautiful.
Beautiful …………………………………. All those colors. Love the cow at the waters edge, and those sweet little houses and flowers Lovely thanks for sharing all that beauty with us.
I know you are talking about travel and a fun vacation, but after reading about Sweden and seeing the land… I kinda just want to move there. :)
Beautiful!! Love the cottages!
Amazing photos! I especially love the cottages and the flowers along the road!
Amanda,
I really enjoy your wonderful photography.
The second photograph, so beautiful, looks exactly like a painting.
Beautiful photos, what gorgeous place!
Wow! What beautiful photos! It looks like a wonderful vacation!
Amanda, absolutely gorgeous!! I think someone said in one of your comments in one of your other Sweden posts – that they never thought that Sweden would be a travel destination…I agree and you have proven me wrong. So fun and so happy for you that you got to travel there. xoxo
Your pictures have been so much fun to look at! I love the little houses with the ladders up to the door. I’ve never been overseas, and watching your road trip is seriously making me want to save up for Europe someday. Thanks for sharing! :)
wow! that is beautiful! so glad you had a good trip!
Amanda, thank you for sharing all the beautiful pictures of your trip. I love the colorful beach cottages and the beautiful landscape. I hope I’ll have a chance to visit one day!
What a beautiful vacation. Makes me want to start booking a trip!
Your photography is stunning. These images are a breathtaking portrayal of your trip. I have a friend leaving for Sweden tomorrow. So jealous! What a fantastic destination.
OMG!!! I’m in love with Sweden through your photos, something about golden fields of hay but I’ve always loved. Just send my husband an email suggesting to buy a Volvo so we can go on this trip. Slim chance but I thought I try.
Beautiful, stunning photos. Loved seeing Sweden, but as a 9 time Volvo owner would like to see a little more of the Volvo people, plant and cars. Can you go back? Could be a sequel.
gorgeous photos, Amanda. sounds like a wonderful adventure!
The picture with the duck! Oh Sweden. I love it. I can’t believe you did so much in only four days! And my husband told me to tell you that he loves the hay field pictures. I do, too. :)
