Four legged Flyinge
by Sjalen
Say Flyinge to any horse loving Swede and you will get a reaction. State stud for the Swedish warmblood, there has been a state stud here since 1661 but horses have been bred here much longer as it was founded by the Danish Bishop Absalon who also founded Copenhagen. Today, young Swedes get an equestrian university education here. People also come to clinics with international stars like show jumper Peter Eriksson and Finland's dressage star Kyra Kyrklund and it is one of the two meccas in riding-horse Sweden. The mansion itself is also nice, yellow facades embedded in the rolling countryside. If you get to Flyinge in November, you might miss the countryside but instead, you can see the Flyinge Days with shows and competitions. The village itself is on the Eslöv side of the River Kävlinge and offers a couple of Viking runestones to those not at all into horses.
Lund Botanical Garden
by ValbyDK
There has been a botanical garden in Lund since the late 1600s, but the present botanical garden – almost in the centre of town – is from the 1860s.
Today, the garden covers eight hectares and has more than 7,000 species of plants. It is a very tranquil place filled with greenhouses, small ponds, and numerous flower beds with beautiful flowers and plants. Lund Botanical Garden is a really nice place for a walk.
During the summer, Café Botan is open for visitors.
Great Museum
by alemir82
The Lund Konsthallen is a small museum in the center of Lund.
This museum doesn't have a permanent exhibition so there is always
something new to see.
The exhibitions sometimes even change the whole outlook of the museum.
It's worth a quick visit and best of all it's Free too.
