Between the charming medieval towns of Simrishamn and Ystad, you ride through open landscapes, past ancient rock carvings and across golden rapeseed fields. Nature in this part of Skåne offers unique flora and intriguing fauna. Something new awaits round nearly every bend. Visit the fishing spots teeming with life, the mighty Ale stones, the interesting vineyards, the Sandhammaren nature reserve, the cosy cafés and the local restaurants. Or just head over to one of the long white sandy beaches, lay down in the soft sand and enjoy the amazing view. Southeast Skåne has a lot to offer a visiting cyclist.

Welcome to the first segment of Sydkustleden.

Here are our favorites on segment 1:

-The Eastern Museum. Always free admission to current exhibitions and to the garden.

Absolute Kack-Etappe! Auf 50 km (zwischen Brantevik und Ystad) keine Picknickbank und mindestens 50% der Weges auf Landstraßen ohne Radweg. Insbesondere mit Kindern und Anhänger eine Zumutung!

Ha koll på leden så ni inte hamnar i uppförsbackarna vid Kverrestad, Ö Ingelsta och Gladsax!! Där tar dessutom vägen slut vid Annelundsvägen om man försöker hitta ut igen via Google map. Ni ska mot Kabusa- Borrby!!!
