Expedition

The trip started with a 50km bus ride through the nice country side of southern Stockholms län, I finally reached Lövhagen, the last station on this line. By this time, I was the only passenger in the bus. From Lövhagen, it is a nice 1.7km promenade to Knappelskär. The hash point was at the highest place of the rock, but easy to reach by a small path. I arrived there at about 14:15.

After eating my lunch, I started exploring the peninsula with its different rock formations. I thought that a map that I saw earlier mentioned a cave. But all I could find was a 1m deep hole in the rock. I don't think, this qualifies for a cave.

At 16:20, I left the site. Since the last bus left from Lövhagen at 16:00, I chose to walk back to the train station in Nynäshamn. There is a very nice scenic road that curls along the coast. But why follow the road if you can take shortcuts through the rocks? It turned out, that it is very hard to follow a straight line while climbing throug rocky terrain, so I soon ended up on the road again. After a nice 6km walk, I reached the station where the train already waited for me. 90 minutes later, I was home again.
