Brösarps backar
Rolling glacial moraine hills with grassy slopes and juniper, where cattle and sheep graze. It is Scania's most iconic pastoral walking area.
The Brösarp hills are glacial moraine ridges left behind as the ice sheet retreated. The slopes are covered in grass and juniper, with cattle and sheep grazing freely, creating a classic picture of the Österlen countryside. In spring the grassy slopes are covered in purple pasque flowers (backsippa), and in autumn the beech forests turn golden. The Skåneleden trail crosses the hills, and you can start from the village of Brösarp for a stretch of the walk. Haväng beach is about 8 km east. Admission is free, with roadside parking. The village inn is famous for its traditional eel feast, and in summer a vintage steam train runs from Brösarp to Sankt Olof.
