Get to know Stehag through several specific highlights: a church dating from the mid-12th century, the Thulebacken burial ground in southern Stehag, and natural attractions with varied plant life and woodland character. When planning your trip, you can focus on cultural history, nature trails or a cycling tour. Train directions and a named starting point for the walking tours also help you plan your journey and choose activities.

Getting to Stehag and finding your way

Trains from Stehag’s Pågatåg station run towards Eslöv–Lund–Malmö and towards Höör–Hässleholm–Kristianstad. Check the timetable before setting off and see which of the two directions suits your journey.

When looking for a holiday rental in Stehag, you can weigh up travelling by train and your planned activities as separate considerations. First decide whether walking trails, local history or cycling will be the main focus of your stay.

The walking tours in Stehag start at the end of Skogsvägen. The nature and cultural trails also include a flight of steps leading up to Gyaberget. This gives you both a starting point for the tours and a distinctive feature of the route. If you’re planning a walk, you can take these details into account when choosing your activities.

Church, map and burial ground

Stehags kyrka was built in the mid-12th century. Another historical reference is the oldest known map showing Stehags kyrka and Stehag cemetery, dating from 1794. The construction date refers to the church; 1794 is the year of the map. Thulebacken is a burial ground in southern Stehag, adding another historic site to these details about the church.

Stehag offers several points of interest for anyone interested in cultural history: the date of a church’s construction, its depiction alongside the cemetery on a historical map, and the Thulebacken burial ground. These details refer to different things and time periods; the year of the map should not be confused with the church’s construction period.

Spring flora and woodland character

In spring, the strong scent of wild garlic fills Lökdalen; Skånsk nunneört and gulsippa also grow there. In Orkidéskogen, you’ll find orchids including grönvit nattviol and St Pers nycklar. The two natural areas have different highlights: Lökdalen is associated with a recurring spring display and other plants, while Orkidéskogen is known for the orchids mentioned above.

The woodland areas also differ in character. In Thuleskogen, old oaks stand in the middle of a spruce forest. Gyaskogen is a woodland area in Stehag with both deciduous and coniferous forest. If you’re choosing natural areas based on their woodland character, these details can help you understand the contrast between oaks in a spruce forest and an area with deciduous and coniferous woodland.

Cycle towards Ringsjön

A cycle path connects Stehag with the bathing area at Sjöholmen on Lake Ringsjön. There is also a suggested cycling tour that passes through Stehag after the section along Ringsjön. These two details offer different guidance: the cycle path gives a destination at Sjöholmen, while Stehag is a section of the suggested tour after Ringsjön. If you plan to follow this tour, check the latest route details in advance, as they may change.
