    About This Trip

    This slow road trip is made for traveling families. It winds through dunes and over bridges, past red wooden houses, berry-filled forests, and lakes with wooden swimming piers. From cycling on the wide beaches of Rømø to cinnamon buns and fairground rides in Copenhagen, meeting Pippi Longstocking in Vimmerby, and living the simple Bullerby life in Småland, every stop feels playful and relaxed. Overnight spots change daily—sometimes right by the lake, sometimes among birch trees. A journey full of fika breaks, fresh air, and shared moments for small and big adventurers alike.
