Sjalen Says: The cottages along the road to the stud itself have been used by staff before and are incredibly charming with their gardens full of fruit trees.
Sjalen Says: Warren Hastings was one of the really old legendary stallions at Flyinge. Such a legend that he got to lend his name to Flyinge's park where some of the most famous stallions have their final rest beneath a tree. The park is also used by Flyinge's riders for short treks or...
Östra Gårdstånga Viking runestone
Sjalen Says: Scania has surprisingly few runestones considering its location and population (compared to Stockholm where they seem to litter the countryside) but there are still plenty. At Röllebacken, in the middle of Flyinge itself, this "Östra Gårdstånga" one has been placed....
Sjalen Says: Flyinge has a stork project going on since 1989 and some cages next to the office wing for their project work. Storks were common in Scania earlier but then we lost them due to modernisation of villages and so on. In an attempt to welcome the wonderful birds back into our...
Sjalen Says: The mares are in a much less impressing stable, both externally (see second photo to know what to look for) and internally (third photo), with a much darker and narrower stable gang. Just reflects the human world, right? Still, this 1876-78 building has a nice and quiet feel...
Sjalen Says: The covered track was built in 1905 and there is none like it anywhere else in Sweden so I find it very fascinating. You can use it for racing since it is a covered oval, but today it is mostly used for training young horses in carriage pulling and other excersises. It has...
Sjalen Says: Let's face it, this is what you've come for if horses is your prime reason for visiting. The stable with all the current Flyinge stallions for the season and most of them quite famous amongst anyone with an interest in the Swedish Warmblood. The odd one will be a German...
Flyinge vandrarhem: Horsey hostel
Sjalen Says: During term time, this is the halls of residence for the equine students. Summertime it doubles up as the village hostel and if you enjoy horses grazing outside your window and a Finnish Olympic eventing champion (Pia Paantsu) as your nearest neighbour, this is perfect!...
Flyinge Restaurang & Cafe: Equestrian dining
Sjalen Says: A typical riding school restaurant in that it is upstairs at a short end of the indoor school/manege so you can refresh yourself and still follow competitions and so on below. As such, it is of course also full of people in breeches and other riding gear but hey, that's why...
Sjalen Says: A real family baker - they live in the other end of the house - this bakery mainly sells to companies which is why there is no flashy interior (see weblink) but that's what's so nice sine if you enter as a private customer you get really close to all activities. The friendly...
Sjalen Says: By far the easiest way to get here is by car or bike, but failing that, there are buses, just not necessarily every day. Mondays to Fridays are by far the best travel days as then you get there with the 157 bus between Revingehed and Flyinge which runs via Södra Sandby, a...
Ryttare & Häst: A saddle perhaps?
Sjalen Says: "Rider & Horse" is of course the obvious thing around here :) A typical equestrian shop with anything from a cheap brush to expensive saddles and tack. They also sell on internet these days.
Sjalen Says: Whilst visiting, I managed to spot Swedish national showjumper Peter Eriksson and get this shot of him. Later on, our roads crossed again as I got a peak into the show jumping wing of the yellow stable where there are some real treasures seen in all sorts of championships....
Sjalen Says: Do what the locals do and walk along the Kävlinge River.
Sjalen Says: No, you cannot rent a horse for the day here. But you can apply for various courses - contact Flyinge to see what they can offer if you're a non-Swedish speaker as it depends on your pre-skills which are obviously quite high to begin with if you're to be accepted by this...
Sjalen Says: Flyinge has a very strong village community which has put together this symbol of the area. You can follow various walks and drives around with the help of this to see the sights around the village. Here's its official page: http://www.flyinge.nu/turist.html
Sjalen Says: Flyinge stud is huge so do check out the board outside the restaurant/equestrian shop, telling you where to find what you want to see.

Say Flyinge to any Swedish horse person and they go all starry eyed, for this is where you find the National Stud of Sweden where some really famous Swedish Warmblood come from which we have seen in...
