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!

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 An exciting stone The Kingdom of Stone’s museum in Sibbhult black gold A billion years ago black diabase was formed in The museum has a striking shape reminiscent northeastern Skåne from lava that was extruded of large rock conveyances of the past.
