leave Skyrup and continue north along Lake Finjasjön, passing the swimming area in Mjölkalånga. If you're hiking here in summer, it's a great spot for a refreshing swim.

If you're interested in medieval churches, make sure to stop by Finja Church, located right next to the trail. Built in the 12th century in Romanesque style, the church is a historical gem. If you're lucky, it will be open when you pass by—take the opportunity to admire the unique murals created in the 1140s by the "Master of Finja." These frescoes are considered among the finest in Europe, renowned for their exceptional artistic quality.

From the village road through Finja, you can take a short detour down to the lake and the birdwatching tower, which offers a magnificent view over the bird sanctuary Fågelön, located a few hundred meters from the tower. Near the island, you can often spot great crested grebes, coots, mallards, goldeneyes, and tufted ducks. Several mute swans typically nest in the reeds around the tower, and during the summer months, ospreys can frequently be seen flying in to fish in the lake.

Son you will pass the site of Swedens oldest settlement where 14,000-year-old flint objects have been found. When you have passed Almaån, you can take the opportunity to take a look at the bird platform Slingra you next to Finjasjön, where you can look for waders and other species that are found in the bird protection area, such as great bustard, single snipe, redshank and tufted lapwing. There is also a barbecue area.

Near the trail you will find Mölleröd's royal estate. In 1601, the Danish queen's court mistress Beate Huitfeldt received the then royal court as a gift from King Christian IV. She built a new facility on the site and the Danish king often visited on his travels between Copenhagen and Kristianstad.

Now follows a pleasant stretch with a view of Lake Finja and along historic pheasant streets with elements of both oaks and orchids. You will soon reach Hässleholmsgården with a hostel, campsite and windbreak. This farm has given the city of Hässleholm its name. In 1860, the then owner, Lieutenant August Ehrenborg, leased the heath where the station is today in the center of the city. In 1964, the city of Hässleholm bought the manor and today it is used for various outdoor activities and events.

When you have left Hässleholmsgården, you continue into central Hässleholm where the next stage begins.
