Sweden To Denmark Sailing Holiday

Sailing south from Gothenburg

There are a few options for a route on this leg. As ever it will all depend on the weather at the time.

Just outside the entrance of the river to Gothenburg is the southern end of the island chain that runs all the way from here north to Norway. Trinovante may head out on the first evening to anchor or go alongside a quay on one of these islands.

The following day we could sail across the Kattegat to Anholt, a sandy island midway between Danish Jutland and Sweden. Anholt has a desert island feel to it, with good swimming beaches, an area of pine woodland and around 150 permanent residents.

Following the Swedish coast south is another possibility for this voyage. The rugged and rocky scenery slowly transforms into a more rural, wooded and softer countryside.

In the northern part are some beautiful anchorages, further south are quaysides and harbours in river cities.

Varberg a historic spa town is dominated by a medieval fortress. A little further down the coast, Falkenberg is a working timber port
