The Soul of Skåne

'The WideOyster team submerged deeply into this province to discover The Soul of Skåne. Did we find it? Oh yeah. Not only that, but we also fell in love with this easy-to-reach part of Sweden'

Sweden is one of my personal favourites as a country to travel to. I really love the immense nature, the food and the culture. Plus the really cool law called Allemansrätten, the freedom to roam, which gives you the opportunity to camp in the wild.

The closest region in Sweden to mainland Europe is Skåne. This is located in the southernmost tip of Sweden with the lovely city of Malmö as its capital. When you come from Copenhagen in Denmark, and when you cross the Øresundsbroen indviet aka the Øresund Bridge you’ll drive straight into this gorgeous part of Sweden.

The WideOyster team submerged deeply into this province to discover The Soul of Skåne. Did we find it? Oh yeah. Not only that, but we also fell in love with this easy-to-reach part of Sweden. I am sure you will consider visiting Skåne after viewing and reading this WideOyster Skåne Special. And you should.

Watch the film by our videographer Josiah Holwick to get a taste of Skåne!

Enjoy, or should I say njut av?

900 km of cycling trails through Skåne

The Sydostleden is the second international cycling route in Sweden after the Kattegattleden. It’s a 270-kilometre long route which runs through three provinces: Småland, Blekinge and Skåne. Its start and finish (or vice-versa) are Simrishamn – in the south of Skåne – and Växjö in Småland. The south of Sweden is sloping, but there are no tough climbs along the route. The ‘leden’, a path in Swedish, is also largely paved. The Sydostleden gives you a perfect introduction to the Swedish countryside. It leads They lead you past forests and farms, while at the same time the sea is always nearby. In the summer of 2019, a third cycle route through Skåne was opened: the Sydkustleden (260 km) from Simrishamn to Helsingborg. The second major cycle route has been around for a while: the Kattegattleden (370 km) from Helsingborg to Gothenburg. Combining these three routes you can take a cycling trip of almost 900km. You can see the west, south and east of Skåne, while Travelshop takes care of transporting your luggage.
