Route Summary
Day 2 of the journey through southern Sweden. We drive from Karlshamm via Ronneby, Karlskrona and Torhamn and the beautiful nature reserves there. We end at the southern tip of Öland. We are still driving along the coast, which is now getting rougher. Few more sandy beaches, but rocks in the sea. And there is already a lot of forest on the land side. Fewer views, but still beautiful views of the sea and increasingly beautiful nature reserves. Here too the roads are excellent. No gravel in this part. The views return to Öland, because this is a very flat island.

RouteXpert Review
We start at the camping Kollvik near Karlshamm. If you stopped earlier in the previous route, follow that route until you reach Kollvik and then switch to this route.We first drive a short short distance along the sea. Then we take the main road 27 to Ronneby and Karlskrona. First through Ronneby (RP3), a picturesque town in a beautiful spot. Then to Karlskrona, a beautiful old place, on an island in the sea (RP4). There is much to experience. For example, go to the naval museum (Marinmuseum) or take a look in the center at the two churches Trefaldighetskyrkan and Fredrikskyrkan. You can also stop here for something to eat or drink.
Beyond Karlskrona are many nature parks on islands in the sea. We skip Sturkö and T Jurkö (and many more islands). The route does run over Torhamn (RP5), a nature reserve where many migratory birds pass. There are some small harbors where you can possibly drink or eat something (Cafe Måsen, Sail Inn).
We drive along Kristianopel (RP7), where you can enjoy the sea and admire kite surfers. At Kalmar (RP10) you can visit the castle (very beautiful!). It is therefore time to have lunch. For that it is best to walk into the old center (also beautiful!). For example, you can eat at the water at Ölandskajens Fisk & Mat or inside at Gröna Stugan. That will take you at least an hour here.
Via the bridge at Kalmar we drive to Öland and immediately turn right to Mörbylänga. The town itself is not much. The route there and along is beautiful. A little further you will find another kind of Stonehenge: Gettlinge gravfält (RP12), a burial place of the Vikings in the shape of a ship, just like at Käseberga. Then we go to the southernmost tip of the island to see the lighthouse Långe Jan (RP13). We go up again on the island and stop at the camping Ottenby (RP14).
The route gets 4 points from me, although it is almost 5. There is a lot to see and do, the roads are fine and sometimes very beautiful.
