Kullaberg History and Nature Tour KULLABERG HISTORY AND NATURE TOUR Have you just moved to Sweden or Denmark? Would you like to know more about southern Sweden´s history and nature? Join us 31st May to experience Northwest-Skåne! Photo: sydpol.com In Northwest Skåne you can find a rocky coast with white sandy beaches, and coastal meadows. The landscape will impress you with steep cliffs, spectacular caves and hilly wooded landscapes. Monika Lennartsson is an authorized Skåne guide who will take us on an interesting bus tour and share her journey with us from Germany to Sweden. We will start in Lund by bus to Råå, an old fishing village where the landscape is full of history: Danish and Swedish. We will enjoy a light lunch in a café situated in a building nearby the Krapperup Estate, a manor from 16th century. Thereafter, we will walk in the inviting Krapperup Estate gardens before getting back on the bus to head out towards Mölle. This quaint fishing village at the foot of Kullaberg became famous at the end of the 19 th century as Sweden’s first common bathing area which offers a pittoresque atmosphere. There we will see the silhouette of Kullaberg Nature Reserve against the horizon. The dramatic mountain rises towards the sea of Öresund, and the National Park of Kullaberg is one of Skånes most visited nature attractions. Here we will enjoy breath taking sea views and while hiking to The Kullen Lighthouse (Swedish: Kullens fyr) we will find a unique flora and fauna. Kullen is one of the most prominent landmarks along the Swedish coastline with a long tradition. After that we will visit Hoganäs, where we will visit the Kermaiskt Center which is known for promoting and retaining ceramic tradition. There you will have the opportunity to do some shopping or enjoy a coffee break before we return to Lund. Welcome! DATE: May 31th, at 9.00-17.00 (8 h). START AND END OF TOUR: Lund Central Station.

    European Mosquito Bulletin, 9 (2001), 12-16. Journal of the European Mosquito Control Association ISSN1460-6127 The distribution and status of Ochlerotatus geniculatus (Olivier) in Fennoscandia Christine Dabll and Mark S. Blackmore2 lDepartrnent of Systematic Zoology, EBC, Uppsala University, Norbyvagen 18 D, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden Email: [email protected] 2Departrnent of Biology, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Georgia 31698 USA Abstract The distribution of the European tree-hole mosquito, Ochlerotatus geniculatus, in Fennoscandia is reviewed. Based on the examination of museum specimens from Denmark, and published and lDlpublished collection data from Sweden, the range of this species is revised and extended. Distributional data from Norway and Finland are scarce and no recent records are available from either COlDltry.Factors limiting the northern distribution of Oc. geniculatus in Sweden, and the possibility that loss of tree-hole habitats threatens the survival of this species in central Fennoscandia, are also discussed. Introduction Could certain specialised mosquitoes be in danger of extinction, especially at their distributional borders? It is suggested that the tree-hole species Oc. geniculatus, because of progressive loss of habitat, may be an endangered species in Fennoscandia In North America there are several tree-hole mosquitoes, including vectors such as Oc. triseriatus, Oc. sierrensis and, recently, Aedes albopictus. All of these have proven resistant to eradication efforts, in part because it seems virtually impossible to eliminate their larval habitats (Garry & DeFoliart, 1975). In Fennoscandia, however, the situation is quite different. Tree-hole habitats are becoming rare because of modem forestry practice, with clear-cuts of whole areas.

  • Mölle By- Och Kulturförening Das Pförtner-Häuschen Befindet Sich Immer Noch an Der Einfahrt Zum Kullabergs- Naturreservat
    Vandra längs Italienska vägen 1. Vakten Västra Kullaberg ägdes fram till 1914 av baron Gyllenstierna på Krapperup. Vakten tillkom år 1914, då AB Kullbergs natur bildades och man införde en avgift. I övrigt fanns ett två meter högt stängsel som hindrade obehöriga från att passera. Vaktmästaren John Olsson bodde i det röda huset. Han byggde senare det större gråa huset, som står ovanför om det röda. Han och hans familj drev också en kiosk och en kaffeservering i trädgården. Så småningom inköptes husen av AB Kullabergs Natur. I det röda huset var kontor för bolagets verksamhet. Det mörka huset en bit upp i backen kallas ”Pios hus”. Det byggdes av en advokat från Köpenhamn. Längre ner mot Djupadal låg Pensionat Djupadal. 1. The guard’s house The Western part of Kullaberg was privately owned by Baron Gyllenstierna who was also the owner of the nearby Krapperup castle. In1914 he sold the land to Kullaberg Natur AB,a newly formed limited company, and they employed a guard whose job was to collect an entrance fee from all visitors. A two meter high fence was also erected to keep out trespassers. John Olsson was the park warden and he lived in the nearby red house and there in his garden he ran a small cafeteria for visitors. Djupadal Pension was situated further down the Djupadal valley. 1. Das Pförtner-Häuschen Mölle By- och Kulturförening Das Pförtner-Häuschen befindet sich immer noch an der Einfahrt zum Kullabergs- Naturreservat. Das Eintrittsgeld wurde für Wanderer 1974 und für Autos 2010 abgeschafft. Einen anderen entsprechenden Zugang für Wanderer gab es auch bei Solviken.
