Out and About with Friends

Take your friends on a mini-vacation in the spirit of community

Quality time with friends doesn’t have to be that complicated. Take a drive across the bridge and 20 minutes south, step into a world of equal parts nature, relaxation, and great culinary experiences—and spend your time however you like. In the very best company.

Whether the sun is high in the sky or the wind is rustling through the trees, there’s always a reason to gather your friends and head off to southern Sweden. In Trelleborg, local ingredients are transformed into little gastronomic masterpieces, while the natural beauty of southern Sweden invites you to enjoy fun activities, peace of mind, and plenty of quality time.

The best experiences are the ones you share. Head out into nature and bond with your sisters, or reignite some bromance with long conversations over a beer tasting. Swing a golf club or lace up your hiking boots and really wind down with some relaxation and good food.

In the heart of the city—far from home

Check in at the Palm Tree Hotel in central Trelleborg and leave all your worries behind. Here, you’ll enjoy a few days of modern luxury, a good night’s sleep, and a delicious breakfast buffet. During the summer, you can also look forward to barbecues and cocktails on the terrace.

The town lies at your feet, and there are plenty of experiences within easy reach. Do you still just need to unplug? Then book the hotel’s infrared sauna and completely unwind in the company of your best friends.

Swing the bat

The picturesque landscape provides the backdrop for no fewer than three golf clubs. It doesn’t really matter whether you can tell the clubs apart or have been playing golf for years, because here there’s plenty of room both to be challenged—and for good laughs and stories between holes.

At Bedinge Golf Club, there’s room for everyone—even those of you who are trying the greens for the first time. If you choose Tegelberga Golf Club, you can expect a few more challenges. The course is built on hilly terrain with several obstacles that attract seasoned golfers.

Finally, there’s Trelleborg Golf Club, right on the Baltic Sea, where you’ll be challenged by small lakes, treacherous sandbanks, and the sea breeze. If you’ve worked up a good appetite, you can round off your round with a clear conscience at the restaurant, which serves burgers, fish ’n’ chips, fried pork, and other delicious dishes.

Home-cooked meals and local beer in good company

Few things bring us together like a good meal. At Hedmans Krog, you step into a time capsule where a rustic tavern atmosphere and good food go hand in hand. The menu features traditional Swedish home-style cooking with a gourmet twist—and hand-selected wines and local beers to wash it all down with.

Do as the locals in Trelleborg do and stop by the town’s most authentic pub, Tre Lyktor. Here you’ll find great food on the menu, live music, and draft beer—and a fantastic atmosphere all evening long.

Meet passionate people and farm-to-table foodies

The Scanian countryside can be a barrage of sensory impressions—from the scents of the forest to the cries of seabirds. But it’s especially worth sinking your teeth into… because it’s no coincidence that the area is called Sweden’s pantry.

For many local producers, the “farm-to-table” philosophy has become a way of life. At Stensmarks Lönnugn, they’ve long been passionate about the local, sustainable food philosophy, which is reflected in the delicious pizzas from the stone oven—but there’s more in the works here. The entrepreneurs are, in fact, in the midst of building the world’s most climate-friendly greenhouse, which will also serve as a restaurant where local ingredients are taken to new, experimental heights.

At Grönby Charkuteri, they’ve gathered the finest ingredients from their own fields, raised happy wild boars, and developed their own recipes. Taste the local produce in fermented form, order a charcuterie platter, or enjoy a truly locally produced pizza straight from the wood-fired oven. At Lenzi Pure Food at Slättarps Gård, you’ll experience the same passion for the ingredients—here, they’re simply served as small culinary masterpieces.

Would you like to cook your own meal, perhaps with a barbecue on a warm summer evening? Stop by some of the many farm stands and find all the delicacies your heart desires—straight from the fields. Go raspberry picking among the bushes at Hallongården, which offers pick-your-own, pop into Lantboden in Böste, or buy local smoked goods at Tullstorps Rökeri.

Quality Time in Nature

In many ways, nature is the central focus here, and you can experience it however you like. A day at the beach? A bike ride? Or authentic outdoor adventures with hiking boots and a night under the stars? The natural surroundings of Trelleborg offer it all—and there’s something for everyone.

Need a refreshing break before dinner? Grab a cup of coffee to go and take a stroll through Stadsparken—or extend your walk with a longer hike in Albäcksskoven on the outskirts of town. Want to explore a little more of the South Coast and work up a sweat at the same time? Rent a bike and follow the Sydkustleden trail, or head out into the countryside and explore the hidden corners of the Scanian plain.

If you’re really looking to get out into nature, lace up your hiking boots and follow sections of the Skåneleden trail along the coast or across the plains. Want to venture even further into nature? In Gabeljung, you’ll find miles of views from the ridgeline and dense deciduous forest—birds of prey soar overhead, and there’s abundant wildlife around the marshlands.

Ready for even more nature? Then spend the night listening to the wind rustling through the trees and birds chirping in the early morning hours. Take advantage of the right of public access and pitch a tent. Or spend the night in the architectural masterpiece that is the Cocoon shelter, which you’ll find near Smygehuk.

Even more quality time

Let's play a game of padel

Work up a sweat and challenge your friends to a game of padel. There are courts both indoors and outdoors—and even right by the coast, where you can finish off with a dip in the water.

It's hard to miss the enormous ring fort located right in the middle of town. Visit Trelleborgen, meet the living Vikings, and enjoy an experience you never expected.

On land, at sea, and in the air
