Kalmar (Småland, Sweden)
Idyllisch in Småland gelegen, wird auch Sie der Stopp in Kalmar begeistern. Besonders bei Architekturliebhabern steht die Stadt hoch im Kurs. Hier befinden sich prächtige, gut erhaltene Gebäude aus dem 18. und 19. Jahrhundert, die sich perfekt mit den typisch bunten Holzhäusern im Viertel Gamla Stan ergänzen. Überstrahlt wird alles vom Schloss Kalmar, welches von König Gustav Vasa zu einem prächtigen Renaissanceschloss umgebaut wurde. Ebenso lockt ein Ausflug auf die Insel Öland, auf der anderen Seite des Kalmarsunds gelegen. Wer mag, taucht in die Fluten ein: Drei Kilometer südlich des Zentrums ragt die längliche Insel Stensö mit herrlichen Stränden in die Ostsee und lädt zum Baden ein.
