On this stage, you'll hike through ancient landscapes in the wilderness of Skåne. Enjoy the silence and birdsong.
In the community of Sibbhult, the workshop industry and quarries used to dominate. Just outside lies the Snapphane farm Sporrakulla gård, dating back to the 17th century.
The leafy meadows typical of northeastern Skåne were essential during the agricultural society, providing food for animals during winter. The stone-rich and lean forest land has long been used for both pasture and production of wood and timber. In the area, there are also plenty of ruins from abandoned homesteads.
Along this stage, you'll pass old farms with stone fences and lush forests with pine, spruce, and beech. You'll also come across Björkeröd quarry, the largest quarry in Östra Göinge, with remnants of the 70-meter-deep quarry partially filled with water today.
