Fulltofta recreation area is a hiking paradise in the heart of Skåne between Höör and Hörby. The landscape is varied, with deep forests, open clearings and pastures, wide heaths with mighty oaks, small and large ponds and several small streams.

Here you’ll find Fulltofta Nature Centre with exhibitions about nature, a café, conference facilities and activities. The Skånska Landskap Foundation offers fourteen marked hiking trails here, up to about 15 km, but there are no cycling routes. The Skåneleden loop trail Uno’s Round also passes here. Several paths are accessibility-adapted for wheelchairs and strollers.

To avoid crowds on weekends and in peak season, choose to come by bus or park at the smaller car parks.

Frostavallen recreation area is beech forests, shimmering lakes and open countryside. Beech forest dominates the area and in spring the ground is covered with wood anemones. Remains of old volcanoes and landslide cliffs can also be found here. Dagstorpssjön and Vaxsjön invite you to swim and play, and the area contains several exciting volcanic relics.

The Skånska Landskap Foundation and the municipality of Höör offer several marked hiking trails in the area, between about 3–10 km. Both the Pilgrim Trail and the Skåneleden pass through the area.

Looking for cultural experiences as well as nature? Then you should hike in Möllerike – the area around Stockamöllan is fittingly known by that name. Stroller-friendly walking paths and beautiful, easy-to-access picnic spots share the landscape with twisty, hilly trails. Quarries and old mills that recall earlier times alternate with spruce and beech forest, meadows and grazing land on loops that range from a few kilometres up to nearly ten.

If you want to challenge yourself, choose the roughly 9 km Stone Quarry Loop. It’s more demanding than the other loops and therefore not stroller-friendly.

In the area around Tjörnarp you can hike through varied environments past the Himlaberget volcano. The landscape is hilly, with grazed and cultivated land mixed with forests and beautiful views over Lake Tjörnarpssjön. In the eastern parts, the old brickworks is a lovely place to visit. There are three hiking loops of 3–6 km and two nature reserves here. It’s easy to get here with the Pågatåg trains.

The Skåneleden also has a connecting trail from Tjörnarp station that takes you to Skåneleden SL2-6 between Lillsjödal and Frostavallen.

Around Ringsjön there are several options for shorter walks.

Västra Bosjökloster nature reserve has a marked loop of about 3 km and runs right along Ringsjön. The trail starts at the car park and takes you into unique nature by western Ringsjön, past old oaks that have grown there since the 1700s. Stop by the barbecue area with views over the water.

Fulltofta Häggenäs is a popular but lesser-known part of the Fulltofta recreation area. Here you’ll find an accessible lakeside promenade that leads out to a bird-rich viewing platform. A new nature trail of about 1.5 km is also available to walk at Fiskarhus. A picnic spot with lake views is promised.

Storkhägnet is about 1 km from the car park. Here you can connect to the area’s longest hiking trail at 17 km.

In the area around Kölleröd and Önneköp there are designated loops suitable for both hiking and cycling. Best for hiking are Olofs (8 km) and Pickelhattakroken (7 km). Olofs takes you through natural environments rich in cultural remains. Pickelhattakroken takes you around near the Fjällmossen nature reserve, which is the southernmost refuge of black grouse. Both routes mainly follow a mix of asphalt and gravel along the gently trafficked roads east of Hörby.

In Önneköp there is a country store, places to eat and more. While you’re in the area, also take the opportunity to visit Östra Sallerup’s cultural centre and the 17th-century park.

Rolling fields interspersed with oak groves and beech forests characterise the Stehag area. There are many easy walking paths to choose from here, the very most beautiful located in Gyaskogen. Start by taking the stairs up to Gyaberget, where, according to old legends, the troll-witch Gya resides.
If you then want to continue, there are loops to choose from ranging from just over one kilometre to four kilometres. The walks start from the end of Skogsvägen in Stehag. All loops are easy to walk and stroller-friendly, except the yellow loop which follows smaller paths that are often muddy.

Down in the deep ravine, Bråån winds its way through forested land. In the past, you could hear dance music and laughter from the valley on bright summer evenings. Today, you can instead enjoy the babbling stream and rich birdsong. The 2.5 km-long reserve has a great diversity of species.

In Rövarekulan nature reserve there are several paths to choose from. Two loop trails of a few kilometres are marked.

In the Örtofta area – around the villages of Örtofta, Väggarp and Toftaholm – there are several nice unmarked walking loops of up to 7 km. There is also a shelter here. All routes start from Örtofta station, where the Pågatåg trains stop.

Borstbäcken nature reserve lies 5 km east of Harlösa. Here the stream flows through a deep ravine covered in deciduous forest. It can be tricky to get around, but give it a try – there is much to discover in the stream and the lush woodland. You can also walk all the way around the reserve, which offers a hike of about eight kilometres.

Between Hallaröd and Höör, there has been a pilgrim route for many years that is now part of the Skåne–Blekinge pilgrimage route. Here you pass Skåne’s midpoint. Along the way you also encounter Saint Magnhild – Skåne’s only saint – and follow her path through scenic forest areas, past her spring and Fulltofta Church. In Harlösa, Saint Olav’s Way connects.
