A straight, easy forest path with soft ground and plenty of shade. A calm stretch of the reserve that’s great for walking or running and gives a nice feel for the surrounding woodland.

The Baltic Sea on the right side from Ystad. You have to leave the path and go along the forest paths. The cycle path along the asphalt road to Ales Stenar on one side of the road, similarly back. After about 10 km from Ystad the cycle path turns into a regular road, so it is good to have a reflective vest.

Turn left through the pedestrian zone of Ystad and there you will see this colorful wonder. Simply an eye-catcher that invites you to continue on your way. It is definitely worth it. Then marvel at the small alleys and walk into the sea of flowers in the parks. Simply a must when you are in Ystad.
