Fjälkinge backe

Fjälkinge backe rises 100 meters above the Kristianstad plain, featuring pine forests, mixed woodlands, and pastures in its southern section.

The nature reserve, established in 1968, stands as a residual hill formed from gneiss granite that emerged from surrounding limestone deposits 100 million years ago.

The observation tower at the summit provides visitors with views extending to Stenshuvud, while paths allow exploration of species-rich meadows and flowering fields.

The reserve includes parking for 12 vehicles, toilets, resting spots with tables, and a 3.3-kilometer marked footpath for nature exploration.

Two natural springs emerge at the edge of the hill, with the southern spring continuing to supply water for grazing livestock in the surrounding pastures.
