The gentle sound of waves and melodic birdsong fill the fresh morning air. After a cosy breakfast at the spacious pitch, a new, eventful day begins. The idyllic small town of Borgholm is located on the west coast of the island of Öland and offers the ideal starting point for relaxing camping by the sea and exploring the diverse natural landscapes of the Swedish Baltic Sea island.

Special features of camping in Borgholm

The campsites in Borgholm are all located in the immediate vicinity of the Baltic Sea coast; and the private, fine sandy beach is usually just a stone's throw away from the pitch. Campers can reach the centre of the picturesque small town with one of Sweden's largest marinas in just a few minutes on foot. The pretty boutiques in the pedestrianised area invite you to take an entertaining shopping trip. If you don't want to cook for yourself, there are numerous high-quality restaurants for a cosy evening meal.

In addition to the picturesque Baltic Sea beaches, the island of Öland offers a wide variety of flora and fauna that can be explored on bike tours or hikes with the family. These include extensive forests and species-rich wetlands, which serve as welcome resting places for migratory birds travelling through.

Travelling to Borgholm

The shortest routes from Germany to Borgholm are via the ferry connections Puttgarden-Rødbyhavn or Rostock-Gedser when travelling from the eastern part of Germany. From Copenhagen, cross the Öresund Bridge to Malmö and continue on the E22 in a north-easterly direction to Kalmar, where a 6 km long bridge connects Öland with the Swedish mainland.

From Hamburg it is 686 kilometres to Borgholm and from Berlin it is 790 kilometres by ferry from Rostock. However, if you want to avoid travelling by boat, take the route via the Danish island of Funen, which is connected to Jutland and Zealand by two bridges. In this case, the journey from Hamburg is 136 kilometres longer and from Berlin 309 kilometres longer.

A stopover in Copenhagen, including a city tour, is a good idea on the journey. The Danish capital can be easily explored by bike or public transport. A highlight for children on the route is the Knuthenborg Safari Park near Maribo with around 40 different animal species.

Activities and excursions

Öland's main attraction is its 300 kilometres of coastline with numerous sandy beaches, bathing opportunities and a wide range of water sports. Visitors can also explore the more than 75 nature reserves on hiking and cycling tours or spend a day in the attractive leisure park.

Discovery tour through the UNESCO World Heritage Site

The southern part of Öland was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000 due to its great biodiversity and medieval cultural landscape. A large area is covered by Stora Alvaret, a unique heath landscape on limestone bedrock. In spring, this is transformed into a colourful carpet when the grasses, wildflowers, including 34 species of orchid and shrubs, some of which are endemic, begin to bloom. Numerous hiking and cycling trails lead through this picturesque landscape, past the island's typical windmills, mythical Viking burial sites and the imposing Eketorp ring fortress.

An entertaining family trip to Öland's animal and leisure park

Ölands Djur & Nöjespark is located near Färjestaden, not far from the bridge that connects the island to the mainland. In addition to a species-rich zoo with around 100 different animals, the theme park offers exciting rollercoasters, merry-go-rounds and Pirate Island, a huge water park. This extends over 15,000 square metres and has six water slides and pools for all ages.

Gastronomy

In addition to potatoes and cereals, Öland also grows numerous types of vegetables, including asparagus, pumpkin, broccoli, beans, cabbage and much more. These are freshly prepared in the regional cuisine. A typical dish is, for example, kroppkaka, potato dumplings made from raw, grated potatoes with a filling of onions and bacon.

Öland also has the Ölands Krögarförening, an association of restaurateurs who are committed to the preservation and further development of local cuisine and the use of local produce. Due to its proximity to the sea, dishes with fish and seafood play a major role. The Baltic Sea island now has its own variety of wine and beer as well as locally distilled whisky, gin and vodka.

Best time to visit

The climate on Öland is characterised by high temperature differences between summer and winter. During the months of June to August, temperatures hover around 20 degrees during the day, but can also rise to over 30 degrees. The nights are cool at 12 to 15 degrees. The water temperatures in the Baltic Sea are between 14 and 16 degrees in summer. In spring and autumn, daytime temperatures average between 10 and 15 degrees. Winters are cool at around 0 degrees during the day.

The best time to go camping in Borgholm, including beach days as well as cycling and hiking tours, is from June to August. If you prefer to take it a little easier, use the late spring or early autumn months to explore the local culture and nature.
