The view out of the wooden saunas over the Öresund to Denmark was breathtaking. For us, there was no better way to end this day than to spend some hours in the sauna. On our list for the rest of the day: A visit to the Swedish bathhouse and naked sauna Pålsjöbaden for sunset. That includes the Terrace Stairs leading to Kärnan and the Helsingborg City Hall.

Actually, we could see the Danish city Helsingør clearly from Helsingborg. Next stop on our road trip in Skåne: Helsingborg, the second-biggest city of Scania, which is also Sweden’s closest point to Denmark. It was time for us to leave the beautiful Kullaberg behind and to start our trip south.

We meet Andy and Matti, the gay couple running a café right where the ‘Swedish Sin of Molle’ was born. It was time for our first gay couple story and some amazingly delicious lunch. Hiking through the rough nature of Scania and the fresh air of the coast made us hungry.

Hence, we decided to hike along the coast in a southeastern direction over wide green grass fields and through herds of sheep, always accompanied by uncountable seagulls. Especially, since we still had some time before our lunch appointment. Obviously, we couldn’t resist just sit down and soaking in this special moment. The view of the Kattegat shoreline was spectacular. After a good night’s sleep and a rich breakfast, we arrived at the lighthouse Kullen after a short drive.
We just had to reschedule our hike at Kullaberg Nature Reserve for the next morning. Well, nothing could dampen our mood anyway.

Historical houses in Scania style, lighthouses, and many bikers on bike ways, that is how you could describe our first days in Malmö. We arrived at Malmö Central Station with the train coming from Copenhagen Airport. The third-biggest city of Sweden has a charming, Scandinavian, and rather relaxing atmosphere. We started with a visit to the picturesque little harbor of Mölle with its great view of Kullaberg’s Nature Reserve and our hotel, the Grand Hotel Mölle. Especially for us, outdoor enthusiasts, it also meant to be the perfect condition for long hikes to and around Kullaberg. Even the windy rainy weather had its charm, creating this special rough but exciting atmosphere. So, the first stop of our gay-friendly summer road trip around Skåne was Mölle, the sleepy little fisher village in the northwestern part of Scania.

By the way, the English translation of the South Swedish county Skåne is Scania.

We had planned a full 5-days itinerary for South Sweden beginning with the so-called granary of Sweden. We attended Malmö Pride and were able to explore the bike-friendly South Swedish city. Our gay summer adventure in Scania started with a 4-days Gay City Trip to Malmö. Nevertheless, we had an amazing summertime together with a serious gaycation feeling not only in Malmö but beyond. That sometimes can be a little bit challenging. Keep in mind, that the Swedish people keep their distance to new and foreign people (we would call it coolness). Additionally, we never faced homophobic behavior even though we continuously showed our affection by holding hands and kissing in public. We were able to meet two Swedish gay couples and a Swedish gay man who settled down in Scania running their own businesses successfully.
