The Western tour 13 km 

Trelleborg

Start your journey at Kontinentplan. Follow Hamngatan/Strandgatan west and turn right onto Klostergränd. Here, you will find the remains of the Franciscan monastery founded in 1267 and the partially restored monastery garden. The Old Square was the city’s center in the 1100s. Here, you will see the Mikaeli Fountain with reliefs depicting life in Trelleborg and a bronze model showing what the area might have looked like during Viking times. Continue west and turn right onto Bryggaregatan.

You will reach the city’s highest point, where traces of a Viking ring fort were discovered in 1988. Today, a quarter of the Trelleborgen is reconstructed, and the area includes a museum with a shop and café, as well as a Viking farm with a longhouse, pit houses, and crops. Head north along Bryggaregatan, which still follows the same route as in the 600s when it led to Uppåkra and other trading places. Turn left into the bike tunnel, follow Ståstorpsgatan and Hedvägen to Persåkersvägen, and choose the bike path towards Skegrie.  

Skegrie

Follow the path towards Västra Tommarp and then towards Skegrie. When you arrive in Skegrie, turn right towards Västra Värlinge. If you wish, take a break at Café Fatto Bene while you enjoy a delicious fika. Continue another 1.5 kilometers to Slättarps Gård with its restaurant, café, and shops. The tour then heads north towards Västra Värlinge. Västra Värlinge is a well-preserved village with small street houses. The village street is surrounded by a few farms with lush vegetation. After Västra Värlinge, turn left and continue towards Bodarp. 

Bodarp

In the small village of Bodarp, you will find Hallongården, one of Trelleborg’s main attractions, with a farm shop and café. Look for the rabbits, chickens and goats who live on the farm. You can also enjoy pick-your-own raspberries and other berries and fruit, depending on the season. Follow the road west towards Håslöv.  

Håslöv

In Håslöv, be sure to visit Ängavallen with hotel, restaurant, café, shop, and farm store. Continue cycling towards Räng. Just before reaching the village, you can make a detour onto Stävievägen and pedal up to Annedalsgård’s shop for seasonal produce. Cycle back to Räng, continue to Fredshögsvägen, and follow it to Lyckebovägen, where you turn left. After a short distance, you will arrive at Holmanäs, home to the shop Dahlia och vänner and the restaurant & café Vive by Chef Bergh. To return to Trelleborg, follow the Sydkustleden (dark red signs) to Kontinentplan and the central station.
