Although I would like to travel the entire
set of islands, I have limited myself to the most intense parts: Around
the connected islands. As the trip is also a visit to friends - and it is a bit cold for me,

guidebook, this one has none, not even in Denmark or Scandinavia! Talk about
unknown territory!
No doubt, this is an area, best explored by boat, car and foot. I rented a
