Grevie can be explored through two clearly distinct focal points: the natural landscape of Grevie åsar and the history of Grevie Church. There are also specific differences between the trails described to help you plan your hikes. The former railway station area adds public art and practical amenities for cyclists.

Grevie åsar and hikes

The ridges of Grevie åsar have never been used for agriculture and have therefore never been fertilized. This creates conditions for a diverse flora. The largest populations of pasqueflowers on the Bjäre Peninsula grow here. Another striking feature is the view across Skälderviken Bay. Juniper bushes, meadow flowers and small patches of woodland make the hike varied and scenic.

The orange-marked Skåneleden trail follows part of the circular route at Grevie åsar and connects its eastern and western entrances. Sinarpsdalen offers a different point of reference when planning a hike: the trail is 3.5 kilometres long and crosses moderately difficult terrain between Båstad and Grevie. The western part features a small-scale cultural landscape with high natural and cultural-historical value.

The trail information offers different points of reference to help you choose: for Sinarpsdalen, the length and difficulty of the terrain are specified; for Skåneleden, its route along part of the circular trail and the connection between the two entrances are described. You can plan your hike based on which of these specific trail features matter to you during your stay.

Grevie Church: history and art

Grevie Church has been documented since the early Middle Ages. Parts of the church built in 1170 have been preserved, including the sandstone arch at the main entrance. The present church building dates from the 19th century. The different construction periods give the church a history that can be traced through its surviving architectural elements and later form.

The furnishings include an altarpiece created by Pär Siegård in 1937, his first work of this kind. The image was inspired by the view of Skälderviken Bay and Kullaberg from above the church. Two medieval objects have also been preserved: a holy water stoup in the porch and the base of the baptismal font. Together, they offer insight into different aspects of church and art history, from medieval furnishings to a 20th-century altarpiece.

Art and practical amenities at the former railway station area

The artwork “Vila” by Ulla and Gustav Kraitz stands at the former railway station area, beside the railway line in Grevie. It consists of a stone bench with two bronze cats and was inaugurated on 4 June 2021. The site brings together a public artwork and its setting at the former railway station.

The former railway station area in Grevie, on the Bjäre Banvall, has toilets, a bicycle pump and access to drinking water. These are useful reference points for cyclists planning a stay. The Bikepoint at Grevie Banvall also has a bicycle pump and water for refilling your bottle. You can consider these details alongside the hiking trails and church history as further practical aspects of planning your trip.
