In this area of the Skåne region, you will find a unique flora and fauna. On the ride, new experiences await around every corner: cozy fishing villages, the impressive ship setting Ales Stenar, about 1400 years old, wineries, the Sandhammaren nature reserve, and last but not least culinary highlights in cafés and restaurants. The long white sandy beaches on the coast invite a lengthy break with a refreshment in the cool water and a unique view over the vast sea. Our stage destination is especially a highlight for crime fiction fans, as the famous Wallander series by Henning Mankell is set in Ystad.

Roadbook
We start our route in Simrishamn and head directly to the coast. Initially, heading southwards, we continue with a sea view along the signposted Sydkustleden towards Ystad. After Brantevik, we ride parallel to the M-1500 highway and pass Skillinge, where we separate from the road again. After a total of 17 km, we turn right towards Borrby and leave the path directly at the coast. Behind Hörup and Löderup, we approach the sea again and from Hammar ride parallel to the water again. Via Nybrostrand, we finally reach Ystad.
