Helsingborg Region

If so, then you're quite right. But here in Northwest Skåne we have a little bit more of everything. There's drama here, too. Söderåsen features wild primeval forests and Kullaberg draws visitors who come to marvel at the precipices and caves.

Beaches

The crowded beach strips of the Mediterranean pale in comparison to these expansive, stunning stretches of natural beauty. Beyond these long sandy dreams, there are incredible rocky bathing spots with formations that'll leave you breathless.
