A little about Österlen...

Österlen is not very big to the area (only around 30 x 40km) but there's so much to see and explore.
Here's both open fields and deep forests with a rich flora and fauna. In the woods you often encounter the row dear, fallow deer and hare. If you're watchful, you can be lucky and even see a red dear or a wild boar family. We've got a lot of bird of prey here at Österlen, especially in and around Fyledalen. Common buzzard, rough-legged buzzard, golden eagle, sea eagle to mention a few, and then of course the kite which is Tomelillas own symbol.
In the East, Österlen stops by a long coast with many great swimming possibilities and many small harbors.
If you bike the railbike on the railway from Sankt Olof to Gyllebosjö you can take a swim in Gyllebosjön; a nice little lake with clean freshwater, beautifully located in the forest just a couple of hundred meters from the railway.
Österlen is not flat like a pancake as many believe; here's both heights such as Stens huvud at Kivik and deep valleys such as Fyledalen outside Tomelilla. At the bottom of Fyledalen, Fyleån (the river), curls its way calm and easy. Many animals seek their way down to the river to drink and for the constant hunt for the daily bread...

You can bike the railbike through a part of Fyledalen, a different and environmentally friendly way to explore this wonderful piece of nature closely, without disturbing the wildlife
