Yddingesjön, Natural lake in Skåne Län, Sweden

Yddingesjön is a lake in Skåne Län surrounded by forest and open fields in the area between Holmeja and Yddinge. The water body features multiple entry points along its shoreline for visitors to explore.

The lake's recorded history centres on the poet and writer Hjalmar Gullberg, who drowned himself in Yddingesjön on 19 July 1961 after a long illness. The lake lies by the small village of Holmeja in Svedala Municipality and drains north through a tributary of the Sege å.

The lake is named after the village of Yddinge, and the poet Hjalmar Gullberg drowned here on 19 July 1961 after a long illness. Today the shores are used for swimming and camping, and hunting for wild boar takes place in the surrounding lands mainly in late autumn.

The water is usually murky, so swimmers should expect limited visibility; several small beaches around the shore serve as bathing spots, and clearings near the lake are used for camping. The lake lies by the small village of Holmeja in Svedala Municipality, with the outflow in the northern part running into a tributary of Sege å.

The black tern, a small dark marsh bird, nests regularly at Koppargravarna just north of the lake and is often seen over the water. Beardeds, grebes and reed warblers also breed here, and in winter smew and goosander appear. The poet Hjalmar Gullberg drowned in the lake on 19 July 1961 after a long illness.
