Hike the Skåneleden trail

130 kilometers of wonderful nature

Immerse yourself in the diversity of nature in Skåne and experience the rich cultural treasure trove that the region has to offer. The Skåneleden, with its various sub-trails and over 100 stages, offers you the opportunity to explore the Skåne landscape in your own way – whether you choose to venture out for the day or embark on a longer hike.

Orange signs

The Skåneleden is marked with characteristic orange signs, making it easy to find even in slightly tougher terrain. The Skåneleden website is packed with useful information. There, you can plan your trip in detail with the help of maps and information about connecting buses and trains.

Hike

The Skåneleden largely traverses privately-owned land. It is thanks to the approximately 1000 landowners along the Skåneleden who have granted permission specifically for hikers to traverse their land that the trail is made possible.

The Pilgrim Way

The pilgrimage hike between Trelleborg and Dalby is part of the pilgrimage route between Santiago de Compostela and Nidaros. It’s a journey from monastery to monastery. And even though the monastery buildings are gone, with a little imagination, you can sense the traces of all the feet that have walked here through the centuries. In the middle of the route lies the pilgrim church of Fru Alstad with an interesting history. The pilgrimage route starts in the Klosterträdgården in Trelleborg
