The Skåneleden offers a variety of experiences in the landscape. The coastal stretches stand for dramatic encounters between mountains and sea, exotic sandy beaches and appealing views. The ridges offer shimmering green beech forests, exciting rock formations and rich animal life. If you pass the lakes in the north-east, you get a feeling of wilderness – the seclusion and silence are a hallmark. In this book, a wide selection of the Skåneleden is presented in the form of 31 hiking tours - from easy half-day hikes to serious multi-day tours. The emphasis is on routes that can be reached by train or bus. The authors have also spent a lot of time digging into Scanian cultural history and bringing out stories along the way. The authors are freelance journalist Caroline Alesmark and hiking expert Kenneth Joelsson. Caroline often writes about the combination of cultural history and nature, in addition to many excursion reports for newspapers and magazines, she is behind several popular books about Scania. Kenneth works as a consultant for public organizations in matters relating to the development and management of hiking trails. He is also very passionate about the connection between the stay in nature and personal well-being. Release year: 2023
