Österlen Tour, Part One

We arrived at the Lund Cathedral at 9:15am to board the buses for our trip around southern Sweden (Skåne). We drove half an hour away to the Kronovall Castle where we would have a tour and wine tasting. The trip was beautiful, the landscape was covered in snow and there were very few houses- mostly farms spread very far apart. It was fun seeing the horses out all wrapped up with whatever you call horse jackets, digging through the snow to try and graze. The road up to the castle was lined with trees and it was easy to see how beautiful it would be in the spring and summer when the leaves would cover the small country road. Here are some pictures from the drive and our arrival at the castle:
