The Trelleborg Circuit 25 km 

Trelleborg Central Station

Start the tour at Trelleborg Central Station and follow the bike path east. Cross Järnvägsgatan and turn right onto Östergatan. Then turn left onto Glasbruksgatan and follow the street north to Engelbrektsgatan. Turn slightly right onto Köpingegatan and follow it to Kyrkoköpinge. In Kyrkoköpinge, you’ll find a Dutch-style windmill built in 1873, and a church dating from the latter half of the 12th century, which was given stepped gables and niches during the Gothic period. 

Then continue the tour toward Gylle.  

Manure

 The Road to Gylle can be very busy so be careful when you’re biking there. You’ll see that the typical Scanian flat landscape opens up here with beautiful grain fields, farmlands, farms, and willow-lined avenues. In the late 17th century, the king forced the farmers of Skåne to plant a certain number of willow trees each year. Despite protests, people discovered the benefits of these non-native trees. They provided protection against wind and soil erosion, as well as wood and material for baskets. During the 20th century, many willow hedgerows disappeared, but now the willow tree has regained its prestige and is being replanted. 
To the right inbefore you enter Gylle , you’ll see the four so-calledso-called mounds from the Bronze Age. On the southernmost and largest mound lies a granite stone with a rock carving depicting a footprint. On the left side, you’ll see the large Lundhög. On a clear day, from the top of Lundhög you can see Trelleborg, Skanör-Falsterbo, and the Danish island Møn , and as many as 24 church spires. Once you arrive in Gylle , turn right and follow the road through part of Fjärdingslöv, then turn left toward Västra Virestad. 

Western Virestad

With its winding network of roads, closely clustered farms, and a stream flowing through the village, Västra Virestad a true Scanian idyll. Just north of the village (on the west side) lies Ullahills’ a store featuring fashion and home decor. If you bike back a short distance and turn onto the road leading to Holkarna, you’ll arrive at Livex with Mediterranean-inspirednde plants, food, and ceramics.  

Bösarp

Bösarp is a so-called linear village located at the intersection of four roads. This is where the well-known Viking-era Bösarp Stone—the symbol of Trelleborg—originated. The village also has a small local history museum. 

Now continue south past Södra Virestad toward the village of Gislöv. 

The village of Gislöv   

In the center of the village lies the common, an idyllic setting with a stream and grazing animals. The church has been one of Skåne’s most richly decorated rural churches, featuring, among other things, beautiful frescoes from the 15th century. Follow the road toward Fjärdingslöv, then take the road toward Åkarp. Next, follow the signs toward Dalköpinge.  

Dalköpinge Village

Dalköpinge consists of a few houses and a few farms. On old maps, the village was called “Berget.” As early as the 1800s, the population was so small that the pastor wanted to close the little brick church, but fortunately, it remain up on the hill. In the village, you’ll also find Bjerbo Farm, which features art, a café, and a shop. Now follow the road that leads back to Trelleborg. Soon you’ll see a summer cottage area on both sides of the road; here you can either take the bike path down toward Dalabadet or continuea straight toward downtown.

Dalabadet

Dalabadet is a popular swimming spot with a 170-meter-long pier and an accessibility ramp. 

The area is also home to the Trelleborg Strand campground and Siluett Restaurant. After your visit to Dalabadet, the Sydkustleden trail will take you back to downtown Trelleborg.

The bike path heading west toward Trelleborg runs past Östra Stranden. In the past, many commercial fishermen lived here, and the beach still looks a bit like a fishing village with small houses, narrow lots, and outbuildings. Continue until you reach the bike tunnel, which goes under Highway 9, and then back up onto Östra Förstadsgatan, which takes you back into the city center.
