Skane Attractions

Skåne (Scania), Sweden's most southerly province, lies between the Kattegat, the Öresund and the Baltic. It has a coastline of some 500km/300mi, fringed by sandy beaches and wooded dunes, with some stretches of rocky coast in the northwest. The fertile plain of Skåne is Sweden's granary. The northern part of the province is a region of granite and gneiss, forests and gently rolling country.
The white farmhouses of Skåne are built on an elongated ground-plan which provides protection from the strong winds blowing over the plain. The grass-covered field walls which were formerly characteristic of the province have frequently had to give way to the requirements of modern traffic; and few of the Hollander windmills and post-mills which were still common at the end of the 19th century now survive.
