Description
Coastal mountains, lush broadleaf forests, pastoral moors and beautiful beaches await visitors to Stenshuvud. Stenshuvud, with its sharp profile against the curved shore of Hanö Bay, has long attracted people. Today, in the park you can experience almost all of Skåne's nature types in one day.
Stenshuvud National Park was established in 1986 and is located on Österlen in south-eastern Skåne. The area has long been affected by grazing and agriculture. Cultivation cairns, stone fence farms and ancient remains in the area bear witness to man's presence and influence in the landscape.
The national park is 400 hectares in size, of which around 80 hectares are sea. The mountain Stenshuvud itself consists of three peaks, of which the northern one is the highest at 97 meters above sea level. Here you have a magnificent view of Hanöbukten and in clear weather you can see the Danish island of Bornholm, like a blue shadow on the horizon in the southeast.
The charm of Stenshuvud National Park is that you don't have to go far to see a lot. The landscape is very varied with dry meadows, wet meadows, rich deciduous forest, wet deciduous forest, sandy beach and rocky beach.
