1. Örum 119 – A must for pizza lovers in Österlen
At Örum 119 just outside Löderup, you’ll find what we believe might be the world’s best pizzas. We tried a pizza that tasted like pure Swedish summer magic — topped with seasonal nettle cream, green asparagus, spring onion gremolata, fresh spring onions, fennel pollen, Ruskarum chicken, and creamy buffalo mozzarella. We’re still dreaming about it!

4. Sandhammaren – The jewel of Sweden’s beaches
In our opinion, Sandhammaren deserves to be officially named Sweden’s most beautiful beach. Stretching for several kilometers, it boasts chalk-white, fine-grained sand as far as the eye can see. The beach is so vast that you’ll never feel crowded — even during the high season. Just don’t forget to bring sunscreen!
5. Ale Stenar – For the history enthusiasts
Ale stenar is a mythical historical landmark, surrounded by as many theories about its origins as there are stones. Standing alone here early in the morning, gazing out over the sea, is a truly special experience. During the day, however, the site fills up with crowds of tourists—so we recommend starting your day here to enjoy it in peace.
