Hiking trail in Sweden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Skåneleden trail is a long-distance walking trail that stretches all over the countryside of Skåne, situated in the very south of Sweden. The trail is 1600 km long and divided into six separate trails, with a total of 144 sections. The trail can easily be recognized by the orange trail marks along the footpath. The trail runs from the west to east and from north to south and passes through a highly diversified landscape such as rocky coastlines, undulating ridges, deep forests and white sandy beaches. Parts of the trail are accessible by wheelchair.[1]

Throughout the trail, there are about 90 permanent shelters at camp sites. The trail is included in the 6,000-km long North Sea Trail, which passes through Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
On behalf of Region Skåne, the Scanian Landscape Foundation manages the trail, including coordinating the municipal work and the contacting with visitors. The municipalities are in turn responsible for the maintenance of the trail[citation needed].
