The Klagstorps tour 18 km 

Klagstorp

Start your journey at the charming church in Klagstorp. This picturesque 18-kilometer route takes you from Klagstorp to Södra Åby, passing through the quaint village of Vallby. Just beyond Vallby, you’ll encounter the stunning, centuries old Södra Åby mill, a traditional “stubbamölla.” Södra Åby itself is a historic village, likely dating back to the 12th century, featuring a unique square road network with both large farms and small houses. The village has a vibrant local heritage association that hosts a variety of events throughout the year. After Södra Åby, turn left at the church towards Västra Torp, soon arriving at Lilla Isie. While few buildings remain in Lilla Isie, once home to an old cemetery and a church demolished in 1857, its charm endures. Make a stop at Lilla Isie Boställe to pick your own flowers or find a gift in the shop.  

Västra Torp

Continue towards Västra Torp, where you can enjoy a delicious meal or stay overnight at Hedmansgården or Hedmans Krog. Head south through the village and then take a left onto Tånevägen towards Östra Torp. This section of Tånevägen offers some of the most breathtaking views on Söderslätt, with vistas of the sea and beautiful landscapes.  

Hemmesdynge

Östra Torp is a charming church village with a rich history, sharing its name with the coastal settlement Smyge until the 1950s, when the coastal area was renamed Smygehamn. If you see intriguing igloo-like structures ahead, consider a detour before heading left towards Hemmesdynge. Those are not igloos but old lime kilns with a fascinating history. As you approach Hemmesdynge, another picturesque church village, you will find yourself in one of Sweden’s most church-rich municipalities, Trelleborg. The cemetery here is home to many old, beautiful gravestones, including a particularly poignant one detailing Mätta Larsdotter’s posthumous childbirth.  

Äspö

Continue to Äspö, where you have two options. Turn right to visit Äspögården for an overnight stay and explore its beautiful church with stunning frescoes, and the Äspö Retrotorp for unique retro finds. Alternatively, turn left to Ludvigslunds Skafferi, a must-visit if you love wild garlic. On your way back to Klagstorp, stop by Swaffers Shop and Jewelry Workshop to shop for jewelry, gifts, homemade marmalades, and more. 

Klagstorp

Returning to Klagstorp, the former center of the Klagstorp municipality and a railway junction, you will find the Uniform Museum in the old municipal building, featuring fascinating exhibitions of various uniforms and costumes from famous films and series. Enjoy a nostalgic treat at Café Valvet with its 1950s decor. Klagstorp also offers dining at Pizzeria Tavolino and convenient shopping at ICA Nära Klagstorp. Embark on this delightful loop and experience the rich history, scenic beauty, and warm hospitality of the Klagstorp area
