Österlen tour
I went on a short tour of the Österlen region today with two bus loads of international students. The tour was an optional part of the orientation program but I really enjoyed the scenery and of course, meeting new people.
Ales Stenar: Sweden's largest stone ship setting, set atop some extremely windy cliffs! Little is known about when or why it was built...
Glimmingehus: It looks so much bigger inside... The castle was brought to life through a guided tour given by a very enthusiastic lady :) Glimmingehus was never attacked (unsurprising, given all its in-built defence mechanisms!)
We finished the day with a short visit to Kiviks Kungagraven and Kiviks Musteri, apparently 'home to Skåne's best known and loved cider mill'. There were apples everywhere, an apple garden, apple orchard, apple postcards...
