INSIDERS’ GUIDE
HIKING AND BIKE RIDES
Båstad has lots of trails for outdoor pursuits.
Skåneleden Trails Biking in Skåne
“ Fisk”( it is an experience to go here if you can find it). It is called Kaj’ s Fisk & Rökeri. I suggest getting enough for the group and serving with boiled potatoes and“ romsås.” You can get this sauce( a traditional, delicious pink sauce with caviar) from Tempo.
SHORT TRIPS BY CAR
Hovs Hallar( photo below) 10-minute drive
This nature reserve has hiking and gorgeous views. It’ s my kids’ favorite place to go. Walk as far as you can.
On the way, if you like warm smoked salmon, there is a fisherman who sells the best in the world. When you are driving to Hovs Hallar, you will pass a sign beside his driveway that reads
Torekov Approximately 15-minute drive to the end of the peninsula
This small fishing village has restaurants and cute houses. It’ s nice to walk around and see everything. Eat at Swensons( great meatballs).
You can also take a ferry to the island of Hallands Väderö.
