Yesterday we headed east for Sträntemölla preserve, Forsemölla, Rörums backar, Österlen. This part of the world is truly beautiful.

I love the old stone fences

first part of the fall……

the second part is the highest

there’s something special about waterfalls…our niece said ” it’s like stepping into a Lord of the rings movie” and it truly was…mysterious and magical


we walked through beautiful old deciduous forest

and then all of a sudden we entered “Mandelmanns trädgårds” grounds

with open pasture, summer meadows and rolling “hills”

walked up to the top of a hill where we could see all the way to the sea…

Rörums backar, the hills of Rörum in panoramic view


truly worth a visit if you’re in my part of the world. perfect spot for a picnic.

today our walk in the forest resulted in yet lots more yellow summer chanterelles, (wild mushrooms)


almost a kg ! If you want to know what we are cooking tonight be sure to check in on the next post !
while looking for the yellow gold we found this snake….a blindworm, en kopparödla !

and we saw beetles everywhere…..



all of a sudden we saw a tiny little bird fly out of the moss and there I found a nest with the smallest eggs ever….(well, bigger than the hummingbird though)


5 tiny eggs…I do wonder what bird though? anyone who knows?

right before getting into the car we found these colorful “dreamer” ( bredbrämad bastardsvärmare)

mother nature sure is fantastic.
