After arriving in Öland this was one of the first sights we went visiting. The road is quite fine,…read moreonly on the last few meters it turns into a dirtroad. The parking lot is also not paved, but otherwise fine. There's plenty of parking, but surprisingly few visitors. Even though we came here on a beautiful sunny day. The remains of the fortress are quite complete and if you climb up, you can get a better view of it. Of course a higher perspective would reveal an even better view. But to get that picture you'll need a helictoper....or a drone with a camera maybe. Even though the fortress is pretty much gone, you can see all the remains of the inner and outer walls and surely it was an impressive sight when it was still in one piece. It's a nice sight, only a quick walk from the parking lot on a nice, open field. Be respectful and be careful when you climb up, so you won't damage the ruins any further.

And a bunch in a row, which makes a great sight and good pictures. You even can get a look inside. There's a small parking lot at both ends and there were - despite the perfect weather - only few visitors. And most come and leave withing a matter of minutes. But bring some time to fully appreciate the wonderful place. Be aware that Busses and Motorhomes have a seperate parking lot. I'm saying this because a tour Bus squeezed into the car parking lot when we've visited...causing much trouble, since the lot was too small to fit a tour bus. Almost hit my car when he was backing up....

I liked the idea if real restaurants inside though I did not try them. On the first day I got 2 hot dogs, coke and popcorn. A few hours later I had a bad diarrhea. That should not happen in Europe or Sweden. The sound system is great ... And the centered huge screen with live broadcast was great.
