Welcome to the Green Heart of Skåne! 2 | ÖSTRA GÖINGE ÖSTRA GÖINGE | 3

Discover Östra Göinge! In northeastern Skåne there is a very special place. You will meet people here who like to take their time. Who love the natural things in life. You can sit here in a rowing boat leisurely watching a bobbing float, stroll along a quiet gravel road in the morning haze and listen to birdsong in the dense Snapphane forests. Or gaze in wonder at the world-famous art in Wanås sculpture park. Welcome!

That is not the easiest way to go – but it produces the best memories. The most enduring experiences are often closer than you might expect. And the returns are greater than the cost.

We promise that you as well as your children will recall BBQ evenings by Helge River and nights in tents in the Snapphane forest. You will look long and hard for better taste sensations than newly caught perch. And the flowers that you and your children pick yourselves will become the most beautiful mid- summer wreath you’ve ever seen.

”We managed to do a great deal in a week at Östra Göinge. We pitched a tent at a campground down by the lake, where we swam and paddled a canoe. In the evening we grilled the fish that we had caught.”

”One day we rented a bicycle and went on an excursion. We visited the Snapphane forest and related exciting stories to our children.”

• Rent canoes at Immeln’s Canoe Centre • Buy a fishing licence for the whole family • Go on a day hike on the Skåne trail • Visit the nature reserve by Sporrakulla farm • Swim and sunbathe at Trollabadet in Glimåkra • Cycle the rail trolley with a packed lunch • Greet the llamas at Denningarum’s Farm 10 | ÖSTRA GÖINGE ÖSTRA GÖINGE | 11

The fearsome Snapphane The history of Snapphane guerrillas in the 17th century is both convoluted and dramatic. At that time Skåne was a borderland subjected to recurring warfare and pillaging – from both Swedish and Danish forces. A lot of time has passed since the Snapphane lurked in the forest, but myths about their heroic exploits and fight for freedom continue to live on. Even today you can experience the mystic surroundings of the Snapphane in the forests of the Göinge district. A trip that provides you with historical insight into a fantastic cultural landscape. 16 | ÖSTRA GÖINGE ÖSTRA GÖINGE | 17

In the exhibition the golden age of the stone industry – from the end of the 19th century to the end of World War II – is described as well as the oftentimes hard and dangerous work in the quarries.

In northeastern Skåne there are several other interesting destinations with stonemasonry history, such as the abandoned quarries in Hägghult, Gylsboda, Immelnbergen and Rumperöd. The district’s cultural history is now linked together through the outdoor museum in Sibbhult. 18 | ÖSTRA GÖINGE ÖSTRA GÖINGE | 19
