Our campervan adventures in Sweden continue as we travel to a National Park and find the last thing we expected in Sweden: a tree-lined beach paradise! We then explore the colourful town of Ystad, home to a certain famous detective. Vanlife is full of surprises, and it's magical destinations like these that keep this lifestyle fresh and exciting, and remind us how grateful we are to live a life in our tiny home on wheels.

Morning all! Wow, we really messed it up this morning 😂 At first I thought the video was released too late, as we're an hour ahead here...so I quickly pressed publish...only to realise of course, it was only just gone 8am UK time, and it had been scheduled correctly all along. Oh well, consider it an early Sunday present for you all 🤪 Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! Sun's out here and we're travelling to Germany's most easterly (more or less) point today...well, we will when Stephen wakes up 😂 Cup of (weak) tea first 😉 Happy Sunday all ❤

Thank you for the clarification! So, Nordic actually comprises all of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, but Scandinavia is just Sweden/Denmark/Norway. As Brits, that's really interesting to know, as I do think all those above countries tend to get called Scandinavia here in a sort of catch-all term, so it's nice to know the specific differences.

Lovely video about my home area. I grew up in Simrishamn, south of stenshuvud national park and I cant even count how many times I have been there with family, school trips etc. I live in Ystad nowadays but always visit Stenshuvud during summer. Too bad the entire coastline was hit by a heavy storm in october last year, therefor the fallen trees on the beach. The authorites even tried to close off the beach for the public, but it has gotten back in desent shape so hopefully tourists return there this summer. Its really fun to see foreighners enjoying Sweden, especially my home area.

@comealongdear 3 месяца назад

Hello, we absolutely loved visiting your homeland, what a glorious place to grow up and live now. We could easily live in Ystad if we had the chance 😍 A shame about the storms, it seems to happen everywhere you go, such is nature. Recently we visited Lake Constance on the German side and was shocked at how much tree debris there was after recent storms and floods. But they tend to recover (perhaps not always though, and they are not immune if storms increase of course). We're very glad we got to experience Stenshuvud at its best ❤️

I really enjoyed this. During the corona I was stationed and working in Ystad for 6 months. It was a wonderful time, since I had never been there before (born and bread in Stockholm). I LOOOVED Ystad, the cute city center (I lived in the center), the cathedral, the "caribbean" beaches, Ale Stenar, Sandskogen, Sandhammaren beach, the salt baths and the hospital (were I worked). I also ate at Per Helsas Gård several times. A blissfull time. Edit: Wallander is actually pronounced with a single v, like Vallander. And don´t pronounce the a as in wall, rather as in whack (short a).

The next time you visit sweden you should experience the rest of it..... like going to Göteborg, then to Stockholm and even continuing going north. (maybe even as far north as Luleå or even Kiruna if you feel the itch to go further) Tho if you do, you might get "sick" from seeing all the trees (as most of the northern parts are uninhabited)....... but if done in the summer, you won't be lacking in daylight (some might find it hard to sleep tho, as depending on how far north you go, the sun will never set.)

Oh please, there's a lot of beaches in Sweden. The problem is that the weather doesn't really allow for beach life as it is cold af most of the time (from too cold to too bloody cold). My favorite beach near Stockholm, where I live, is a rather small little beach called Skarsand or Lilla sand on the island of Nåttarö. Most beaches are (of course) on the southern coasts of Sweden (including Gotland and Öland) but you can definitey find them further up north (although then they may not bee entirety natural. See Pite havsbad, for example.

@comealongdear 3 месяца назад

Hello, thanks for commenting. Of course we didn't think that Sweden didn't have nice beaches, just that the type we visited is not the sort I think people from elsewhere would think of being there, a bit like if you've never been to Scotland, you don't really assume it has some of the bluest, most turquoise seas around. The one we saw had the look of the tropics, and as such a really nice surprise on our brief visit there. It was definitely the warm weather that made it stand out though, I agree that's probably not exactly a regular event in Sweden. Hopefully we can one day return and drive further north 😊

It"s of course cold or chilly during autumn, winter and early spring (some times even late spring), but we do usually have pretty great and often rather warm summers. This is true for the southern half of the country anyway. Around 20-30 degrees, quite ok for beach life, not as in the tropics of course. There are some long sandy beaches, Trouville at Sandhamn in the Stockholm archpelago for example. 😊

I always thought Stenshuvud was to the south so i was confused when you talked about the Baltics, having looked it up i realize i'm confusing it with Ales stenar, which is to the south, close to Ystad, not nearly as nice as Stenshuvud but it has a norse megalithic monument of a stones arranged like a ship, not terribly exciting but worth a visit if you're in the area.

@Kaarver Месяц назад

I think you’d get the pronounciation of Ystad pretty much right if you say e-stad (the stad bit is great the way you said it!). You say it more like we would say ustad (but to be fair both y and u are NOTORIOUSLY difficult to pronounce for non Swedish, thanks for having a go 😊). Swedes don’t differentiate between w and v, we say them all like you say v, so it’s be Vallander. And the a is more open, kind of like the a in “vast” but shorter. Thanks for a view of my homeland through your eyes (+ I’m basically never down south so it’s kind of exotic to me 😁).

@comealongdear Месяц назад

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated ❤️ It makes sense how if you haven't been brought up with it, that those sounds would be difficult to pronounce for a non-Swede. I'm sure English has its own versions. And very interesting that v and w are the same! Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you ❤️

@Mater_Literarum 2 месяца назад

The pronounciation of Ystad starts the same way as you pronounce the y in "your", kind of y and j mixed. Then just add "stad", a prononced as a in "star". 😊

Thank you, and what lovely places to have on your doorstep. It's amazing what we don't get around to seeing in our own country. Plenty of people in the UK will have never seen Scotland or Wales for example. Life's demands make it very tricky for people to do that, but having the van has allowed us to take in more of our country than we ever would have before so we're so grateful for that. Hope you get to Northern Sweden one day 🙏 💙

Despite their initial skepticism, Dan and Stephen from the British Isles found themselves falling in love with Sweden during their visit. Stenshuvud's Caribbean-like beach was just the beginning of their pleasant surprises. As they ventured to Ystad, their composite of been typical englishmen turn into admiration about kebab places and diesel prices, for Sweden's lush green landscapes and peaceful, sparsely populated areas. The irony of their typical English grumblings was not lost on anyone, but their gracious manners and appreciation for their surroundings shone through. It's worth noting that while Swedes enjoy traveling to England for football matches and lively pub scenes, Dan and Stephen proved that English hospitality and politeness were just as charming in Sweden. The cultural exchange between the two countries only deepened their mutual admiration and respect for each other's homelands. 😉♥️ Good luck in the semi-final against Holland ⚽️ Cheers! 🍻

Pro tip: (Well, very much amateur but nevermind) Ask a local how the city name is pronounced. I was wondering when I was in Uelzen, Germany, and learned that it was not at all what I would have thought. The same goes for Ystad here.
