Bröms and Höga sand

violet round

Start from Kristianopel

The goal of the trip is the memorial stone of Bröms, where the first meeting was held on February 8, 1645, which then led to peace between Sweden and Denmark.

You cycle from Kristianopel through the small city street as summertime smells very amazing of all the roses in the gardens. The journey north takes you past Avaskär, which in the Middle Ages was one of Denmark’s smallest cities. At Milasten you turn off right on the Norra Kustvägen, a nice road with farmhouses and cultivated fields. After some km you reach Höga Sand, a nature reserve that is well worth a visit. The nature reserve comprises the sandy and mostly pine-lined parts of the litorinastrandfall along the stretch between Eriksholm and Trolleboda. The natural process of wind-borne sand creates unique habitats for plants and animals.

After Trolleboda you turn right again and soon you arrive in Bröms. In the middle of the small stream you will find the island that was no-man’s land and where the peace treaty was terminated.

At the parking lot you can read about Brömsehus and take a walk to the place where Brömsehus lay once in a while. Further up the road there is a farm shop where you can buy fresh vegetables and ice cream.

On the bike again you drive back a bit and across the E22 to Brömsebro. There you can buy incredibly good smoked fish of all kinds, or you can sit for a while and enjoy real sandwiches in the small fish restaurant.

The road now goes back over E22 towards Råsen and back to Norra Kustvägen, which takes you back to Kristianopel.
