Top 12 Natural Monuments around Malmö

In Haboljungs Fure Nature Reserve you follow soft sandy paths through open pine forest, where woodpeckers, tits and roe deer move quietly between the trunks. The young pines, originally planted to stop the drifting sand, are slowly turning into a more natural coastal woodland oasis – a peaceful place for a short walk or easy ride before you roll on towards the beaches of Lomma.

Can only run inside on the official event, but running around it or bike with gravel is nice.

Among other things, rock for the Jesus statue from Rio de Janeiro was mined from this pit.

Strandhusens revlar (en) The sandy reefs along the Lomma coast are popular feeding and resting places for both migrating and resident seabirds. The shallow seabed is also an important nursery for many flatfish and life thrives in the extensive seagrass beds. The Strandhusens Revlar marine reserve protects the shallow seabed and water including extensive beds of seagrass that grow along the coast. The water in Lommabukten is a typically brackish environment with a mix of salt and fresh water. The seagrass meadows grow at a depth of 1-12 meters and are a globally threatened habitat. They are important to a variety of species that forage here. The meadow area in particular is a tree nursery for several species. Life thrives here: beachhoppers (amphioda), lots of small laver scallops and Baltic woodlice. You can also find fry of small fish, sand gobies, fish of the Gobiidae family, garfish, as well as common shrimp. Cod and trout hunt in the upper layers of seagrass and closer to the bottom live cod, eel and Atlantic herring. The broad-nosed needle, which is a close relative of the seahorse, hides in the sea grass. Flatfish thrive on the bare mosaic sandbars surrounded by the seagrass stands. Beach crabs search for food and take cover under rocks. Several species of seabirds use the seagrass beds to forage. The seagrass mitigates erosion by binding sand and bottom sediment with its roots, while the leaf mass reduces wave energy reaching the beach. Vegetation absorbs nutrients and carbon dioxide from the water, mitigating the effects of eutrophication and climate change. Another important effect of the seagrass meadows is the stabilization of the bottom sediment, resulting in even clearer water. The purpose of the reserve is to protect and care for the valuable natural environment of the area and its biodiversity. It is important to ensure the survival of the seagrass beds and shallow seabed so that they can continue to support rich marine life.

Directly adjacent to Värpinge there is a beautiful grazing about 700 meters long ravine with an exciting geology; nature reserve Rinnebäcksravinen. Rinnebäck ravine The ravine streams beautifully at the bottom of the ravine. The grazed land gives rise to a special flora which, due to modern agriculture, has become increasingly unusual. Some years, back swallows nest in the steppes. There is a bus connection in Värpinge By and good walking and cycling routes are around the canyon so it is easy to get here. The area is frequented frequently by exercisers, dog owners and preschool and school classes. Nature and cultural history As the first municipal nature reserve in 2003, the nature reserve was established by the Rinnebäcksravinen in order to preserve the ravine with the unusual geology and flora. The ravine is around seven meters deep and was created when the last ice sheet melted away. Large bodies of water cut into the soil, which consists of moraines. The grounds are made up of Daniite chalk. You can see different layers of soil in the slopes. In ancient times, the area was used as a pasture and cattle street where the animals were transported between the village and the fields. Today the area is grazed by sheep. Here you can find, among other things, yellow seaweed, almond blossom, earth thistle, meadow oats and the unusual species of bush thorn. Trees and shrubs such as hawthorn, elderberry, rosehip, wild apple, birdberry and oak grow here. Rinnebäcken is cultivated north and south of the gorge. In heavy rains, large flows can be created in the streams that flow down the ravine, which can cause erosion at the edges. The stream continues down into Höje å. (Lund.se)
