Höje River

The Höje River is a small river in Lund Municipality that originates from Häckeberga Lake and reaches the Lommabukten in the Øresund strait. Along its course, the waterway creates diverse habitats where woodland, meadows, and wetland areas change the landscape.

The river served as a vital water source that drew people to settle nearby since ancient times, supporting farming and daily activities. Over many centuries, its presence shaped where villages and farmsteads were built throughout the region.

Local residents maintain connections to the river through seasonal activities, educational programs, and environmental protection initiatives throughout the municipality.

Various access points line the riverbank, making it easy to explore different sections of the waterway. Visitors can engage in activities such as fishing, walking along the banks, or watching birds throughout the year depending on weather conditions.

The river drains a basin covering more than 300 square kilometers, which hosts a wide array of animal and plant species found in southern Sweden. This scale of the watershed means the waterway plays a key role in supporting many different ecosystems across the area.
