An Active Lifestyle on the South Coast

Are you feeling energetic—or do you just want to get a good dose of fresh air?

The landscape around Trelleborg is varied. From the long stretches of beach along the coast, across the fertile, flat plains, to the lush lakeside and hilly landscape to the north. Nature’s ever-changing forms and landscapes are an adventure in themselves. Pick up the pace with a heart-pumping workout on two wheels or take a leisurely stroll along the sea—either way, we offer a generous dose of fresh air. Create your own adventure from the saddle of a bike or on foot along the Pilgrimsleden trail, discover life beneath the surface, go birdwatching, tackle MTB trails, or enjoy a full day on the golf course.

Cycling

Perhaps the best way to explore Trelleborg and the south coast is on two wheels? Easily make your way to secluded swimming spots, get up close to fascinating ancient monuments, and stop at farm stands and cafés whenever you like. If you want to bike farther, you can follow the Sydkustleden, one of Sweden’s three national bike trails.

Hike

Hiking is a fantastic way to forget the stresses of everyday life and reconnect with yourself. Starting from Trelleborg, you can follow the Skåneleden trail north across the plains or east along the coast. You can also go on a pilgrimage along the Mariavägen, where pilgrims have walked from monastery to monastery for hundreds of years.

Golf

Trelleborg and the surrounding area offer a variety of golfing experiences. We’d even go so far as to say that the area is the perfect golf destination for those who want to try different course types from day to day without having to travel long distances. Even better, the mild climate on the south coast often allows for year-round play on the courses.

Seal Watching

In Skåre, west of Trelleborg, there is a marine reserve with harbor seals. They often rest on the rocks from fall through March and come from the Måkläppen colony. Bring binoculars and keep an eye out, but don’t disturb them. The observation tower, which offers a better view, is located west of the harbor. A delightful nature experience for the whole family!

Kiteboarding & Windsurfing

Kiteboarders and windsurfers have truly found a home on Skåne’s south coast. The beaches are easy to reach, and there are many spots to choose from depending on which way the wind is blowing. From west to east, you’ll find:

Skåre Skansar – a rising star on the kitesurfing map with a small, south-facing sandy beach. Best to go when the wind is from the southwest to the southeast.

Beddingestrand-Skateholm – a stretch that offers shallow water and good spots for beginners.

Abbekås & Mossbystrand —a challenge for experienced surfers and, above all, those seeking big waves. When there’s a southeasterly gale, you can even enjoy wave riding.

Snorkel

Put on your goggles, snorkel, and fins and take a trip along the Skåre Snorkeling Trail! It’s like a nature trail, but underwater, east of Skåre Harbor. Information signs are placed at a depth of 1–2 meters and provide information about the rich flora and fauna. The signs are equipped with handles that snorkelers can hold onto.

Birdwatching

Northern lapwings, oystercatchers, and mute swans. The occasional greenfinch and—if you’re really lucky—maybe even a night heron. You can see all of this in the Albäck area, Trelleborg’s suburban recreational area and first-class birding spot. In the northern parts of Trelleborg lies Börringe Mad, home to many birds of prey.

Fishing

Skåne’s coastline is over 400 kilometers long and offers many opportunities for open-water fishing. Along the Trelleborg coastline, you can discover some of Northern Europe’s best sea trout waters and enjoy a fishing experience like no other. The coastline is accessible to anyone who wants to fish from shore, while a fishing license is required to fish in lakes.
