In the wheel tracks of Carl von Linné/Linnaeus:
A historical travel adventure in Sweden
A calash was used to transport the members and equipment of Carl Linnaeus expeditions as it travelled through Skåne during the summer of 1749. Now we celebrate his 300th birthday with the unique opportunity to recreate the atmosphere of the Linnaeus expedition. The Waggoner, horses and old country inns are prepared to welcome you to a historic journey.

Close your eyes and listen to the clattering horse drawn carriage, enjoy the scent of the forest, taste some new baked bread from the mill. Experience the shifting landscapes from forests to plains and fields, hilly and flat. Gjuteriets Horse Carriage, Sjöbo. Photo: Gunnar Menander. (click on the image 1,2 MB to copy)

Carl Linnaeus crossed the bridge over Getabäck into Skåne at Loshult. The first night he stayed at the Sinclarsholm Manor house dated 1626. Two months later he left Skåne with a lot of love for the county with the mild climate and nice people. By using Linnaeus’s own descriptions it is possible to visit the places Linnaeus once studied.The original manuscripts belong to the Linnaean Society of London.
