The Store damm („Great Pond“) is a body of water in the north of Skåne, which despite its name appears as a completely normal, sprawling forest lake. It is part of a historical system of man-made ponds that once served for fish farming and water regulation. Today, a varied circular trail winds through the surrounding mixed forests, past old avenues and wide fields.

A distinctive boulder in the middle of the beech forest on the shore of Store Damm and a silent testament that Sweden has more to offer than flat land. The deep crack splitting the rock was formed by frost weathering after the last ice age and makes this place one of the most unusual natural monuments in the region.
