SNOGEHOLMSSJÖN - THE PINK MORNING
This was one of the most magical lake camping nights in Skane. Especially the morning sunrise with the fog over lake. I had never heard of this place because simply I am not the lake type camper, but more beach. Now this bikepacking trip my partner choose to show his favourite place in Skåne. He used to come here often in his first years living in Skåne. Fishing is his thing and now I introduced him to bikepacking, which he loves it! It's a win win situation that both of us like to be outdoors, but I like more active (cycling, hiking, long walks), he is more fond on calmer outdoor activities.
As I heard from him, its very popular fisherman spot. We did see several ones nearby us, but close to the eveving we didn't have anyone around us. I didn't get to explore the trails around lake this time, maybe another time as I saw on google that the other side of lake has nice resting area with tables, grills and beach, and can hire boats.
In Snogeholm area you will encounter a varied landscape with lakes, sandy moors, open fields, wet marshes, sheer deciduous forest and dark spruce forest. There are the Stiftelsen Skånska Landskaps marked hiking trails.
Hike and walk
The Skånska Landskap Foundation offers nine different marked hiking trails in Snogeholm and one of these is wheelchair friendly: the promenade by Snogeholmssjön. Download maps and map folders of Stiftelsen Skånska Landskaps hiking trails in the area. Since 2019, there are also natural works of art in the walking area through the LandArt project. The Skåneleden also passes the area.

Getting there by bus
Regional bus 341, Sjöbo-Blentarp-Veberöd, goes every day to several stops north of the walking area. For example, get off at "Sövde village" and follow the Skåneleden trail about 1.5 km south to the walking area. Read more in the timetable for bus 341. You can also take bus 301 Sjöbo-Ystad to Sövdeborgskrysset and then walk through the forest to the walking area. Read more in timetable for bus 301.
My cycling route
The second day we took train from Ystad back to Malmö. It costs nothing to have a bike on a train. The ride from Snogeholmsjön to Ystad seemed short, but so bumpy and hilly! I was happy to reach the coastline back to flat road. It was still a beautiful path, but then again, are there any boring roads for cycling in Skåne? Not that I know of any yet.
