One of my favourite places to visit is Kullaberg, a nature reserve in southwest Sweden:
Kullaberg is such a majestic place of our planet! There are steep, up to 70 m cliffs, forests with rocky terrain, caves, climbing, and excellent wall diving.
It is Sweden’s most visited nature reserve, and I’ve been there at least 50 times. I was also training there before going for hiking to Andes in South America some years ago.
Overflying Kullaberg is a must – and we had the time to do that together with Jens, when we went to Höganäs’ flying club, to one of their flygfisk events.
When we arrived to Höganäs, there were already many aeroplanes, a number of them – from Denmark:
Members of the Nordvästra Skånes Flygklubb were frying herring, grilling sausages, preparing coffee, and guests were so happy to have their food & drinks, enjoying the great atmosphere at the flying club.
People were coming and going; locals and pilots mingling together:
I love flygfisk – it is ryebread with fried herring, fresh onions, and lots of parsley:
It was nice to meet other pilots, both from Sweden and Denmark, and to catch up. After those corona-years we’ve learned to better appreciate getting together. Thomas and his son Silas also came by:
Focke-Wulf Sk12 Stieglitz from 1939, such a beautiful aeroplane:
After a couple of very good hours, Jens and I got airborne. Waiving goodbye to the city of Höganäs with Kullen in the background:
Fying back home, we talked about going hiking to Kullaberg on a weekend, with staying in a tent there.
The sun was getting down, with lots of clouds on the horizon:
It was a calm warm evening, and we decided to fly around a bit more. Bjernede church – the only one medieval era round church on Zealand:
Round churches can also be found in Norway and Sweden. In Denmark, we have 7 left: 4 of them on Bornholm, 1 in Jutland, 1 on Funen, and 1 on Zealand. The church of Bjernede was built in approx. 1170 by Sune Ebbesen. But before that, there was a wooden church.
We did a round over the town of Sorø. It’s a small cozy town that was founded in the 12th century:
Later, after the sun went down, we could see the rising full moon. It was huge, and we circled several times to get a better photo, and to appreciate its beauty:
Last glance to the Great Belt bridge and the city of Korsør by its foot, before turning back home:
Jens did his paperwork after we landed, and I helped with washing his C42:
We had a wonderful evening in the air, and were high on experiences.
When we went to our cars, we suddenly saw the moon again, shining over the hangars. We both stopped for taking pictures of it, again…
