Still a beautiful spring day , blue sky and a magnificent sun. We have breakfast with calm, even now pregustandoci the day on the road that lies ahead. Final preparations , last coffee and then off in the direction of Helsingborg . After about an hour we reach the castle Krapperup http://krapperup.se/ one of the oldest and most important castles of Skania dating back to 1300. The manor boasts a beautiful park with a pond, a stream, long trails, and several trees exotic . Walking along the gardens is really very nice. A lovely turtle seems to want to give us welcome . The castle with its brick orange and white stars that decorate the outside throughout the building , is one of the most beautiful castles in the area. The interior can be visited in the summer, this reason to come back again . It starts in the direction of Kullaberg Nature Reserve north of Hoganas . It is a long cape with large forests and steep cliffs and a small lighthouse that characterizes the very tip of this area. The sea view is magnificent. The clouds in the distance seem to brush the white sky blue . We take the opportunity to nothin on the grass and enjoy the sun in complete silence . Since we take the opportunity to eat something and make us a cup of coffee with a " sea view " ! Reluctantly we leave to the area of Vallåsen . The path is one that makes you want to stop at every corner. Small ponds, streams , woods and long dirt roads until you reach the two large lakes and Väster Rös , a true natural paradise. The dirt road that runs along the lake Väster is to be left speechless by the beauty of the place. Through the forest along the entire path to the lake , offering breathtaking views at every angles . We stop for a moment to enjoy the silence of the forest and wade enchanted the sun's reflection on the lake. Shortly after we take the Djurholmavägen , a long dirt road of about 15 km, going through the entire whole area of Vallåsen in the middle of the forest. Truly an extraordinary journey . After about an hour we arrive at Laholm http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laholm that houses the remains of an ancient fortress razed in the 1630s but still retains the foundations of its ancient ramparts and defensive walls. Here we take a short coffee break and "light nap " on the lawn just to stretch a bit ' my back ! It starts to Båstad and then head towards the nature reserve Hovs Hallar http://www.hovshallar.com incredible rock formation that descends to the sea of deep blue. This area had already in the Iron Age and Bronze Age settlements and I am witness to the many artifacts found in the area. For a long time here has practiced the breeding of cattle , and even today there are many animals that graze in the area. After going down down down to the cliffs, go up the hill where we find ourselves in the midst of a group of cows grazing . They leave quietly approach and even caress and then slowly move away with their clumsy gait. Even today the day to remember. Thanks to my friend Lello for coming to see me and have spent wonderful moments together . at the next
