Arrival from Germany

Route Hamburg – Fehmarn – Öresundbrücke

This is undoubtedly the fastest way to get to Dalsland by car. Travel time from Hamburg to Puttgarden: 1¾ hours, ferry to Rødbyhavn (45 minutes, leaves every 30-45 minutes, depending on the time of day and season, cost: 80€ to 100€). Travel time from there to Copenhagen to Öresund Bridge: 1¾ hours. Toll for the Öresund Bridge: 54€. Travel time from the Oresund Bridge to Liane 4¾ hours.

Route Hamburg – Flensburg – Storebæltbridge – Öresundbrigde

If you want to avoid the ferry trips, you can drive from Hamburg via Flensburg and Kolding in the direction of Sweden. In addition to the Öresund Bridge, you also drive over the Storebælt Bridge within Denmark. The additional toll for the Storebælt Bridge is 35€. The total driving time for the route Hamburg – Liane is about 10 hours.

Route Hamburg – Frederikshavn – Gothenburg

A route with a chance of a nap on board offers the route from Hamburg to Frederikshavn (travel time: 5½ hours) and then by ferry to Gothenburg. This runs several times a day and takes about 3½ hours. From Gothenburg it then takes just under 2 hours to reach Liane.

Route from Travemünde or Rostock to Trelleborg

TT-Line operates the ferry connection from Travemünde or Rostock to Trelleborg in the south of Sweden. These ferries also run several times a day and take 8 hours (from Travemünde) or 6 hours (from Rostock) for the crossing. The remaining travel time from Trelleborg to Liane is about 5 hours.

Ferry from Kiel to Gothenburg

One of the two ways to get from Germany to Sweden overnight is to take the ferry from Kiel to Gothenburg. It departs Kiel daily at 18:45 and arrives in Gothenburg around 9:00 the next day. With dinner and breakfast, this is a very convenient, but not cheap way to get to Sweden. From Gothenburg you are then in just under 2 hours in Liane.

Ferry from Kiel to Oslo

The second option with overnight stay is the ferry from Kiel to Oslo. This line is operated by Color Line and departs daily at 2 pm from Kiel. After 20 hours of crossing, one arrives in Oslo in the morning and travels from there in 2¾ hours to Liane. The crossing in this cruise-like ship is quite comfortable. The rich breakfast during the trip through the Oslofjord alone is an experience.

Arrival by plane is via Gothenburg Airport. There are many daily connections, also with low-cost airlines. The prices for rental cars in Sweden are at a normal level.

Arrival by train is possible in principle. You can get to Mellerud several times a day via Gothenburg. From Mellerud there is a bus connection to Liane, which we have never tested. Basically, we would like to advise against a journey to Liane without a vehicle, as there are no shopping facilities within walking distance.
