Here you stroll past beach dunes and a coast which invites you to take a dip, through enchanted pine forest in Friseboda recreation area and fishing villages dating back to the Stone Age.
Friseboda nature reserve and recreational area offers long stretches of beaches and pine forests. During the summer, swimming is the obvious activity, but you will also find a horse trail and an accessible viewing platform.
The pine forest has not always existed in the area. During the Middle Ages, the need for wood and arable land was great and the oak-clad coast was gradually opened up. On the open areas, the wind could pick up the sand and sand drift became a major problem for the farmers in the area. With that, large areas of pine were planted during the early 19th century, which has led to the pine forests we have today along the coast.
The coastal stretch between Åhus and Kivik is called Ålakusten. Eel fishing has been an important source of income. Fishing has given the coast its special character with eel huts and drying racks for the eel bucks. Archaeological finds show that people have been fishing in the area since the Stone Age.
From Nyehusen, the trail finds its way up Linderödsåsen towards Maglehem.
Along the stage, it is possible to spend the night in a windbreak at the Friseboda campsite.
