Skanör med Falsterbo

Skanör med Falsterbo lies along the sandy shore of the Falsterbo Peninsula, where Öresund meets the Baltic Sea on Skåne’s southwestern tip. Low dunes, beaches and open coastal heath define the terrain around these paired historic towns. The peninsula is a major northern European bird-migration site; autumn brings large passages of raptors and other birds, monitored by Falsterbo Bird Observatory. In the Middle Ages, herring fisheries made Skanör and Falsterbo important seasonal trading centres for Hanseatic merchants. The ruins of Falsterbohus castle remain from that commercial era, while Skanör’s St Olof’s Church reflects the area’s older settlement history.
