Söderåsen is a ridge (more precisely, a horst) in Scania in southern Sweden. On Söderåsen can you find Scania’s highest point: 212 m above sea level. It is intersected by several fissure valleys. The ridge extends from the village Röstånga in the southeast to the small town Åstorp in northwest. Söderåsen National Park is 30 km east of Helsingborg.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Skäralid is an up to 100 m deep and 7 km long ravine, although only the first 4 km are walkable. It starts at the Skäralid lake and Skäralid Naturum Information Centre where there is also a parking lot and a restaurant. Walking is relatively easy as the more difficult sections are covered with boardwalks.
At 200 m (660 ft) above sea level, it is the highest point in Söderåsens national park and offers fantastic views.
Odensjön is a lake inside what is believed to be a volcanic crater. The crater rim stands 30 m above the lake which in itself is 20m deep.
Klåveröd Strövområde is a nature reserve of less protection than the national park area. Still has clearly marked trails. Includes "Skorstensdalen" (litarally "Chimney Valley") with strange rock formations, and the Tranerödsmossen raised bog where can be found both cranberry and the elusive cloudberry as well as many other interesting plants. In the bog stay on the paths!
Another deep and very impressive ravine, but less known and less visited. Access to the ravine bottom is difficult and requires waterproof, sturdy footwear. However there are several paths along the top of the ravine and several good viewpoints.
A fine restaurant with varying opening hours - check before arrival. Reservation may be necessary.
Hostel in Röstånga which also has a restaurant.

The easiest is to get in by car, while walking or cycling are also possible. Söderåsen is passed by the long-distance path Skåneleden.
Read in the guideA few forest roads leads to parking places and trailheads inside the national park, but in general the only possible way to get around inside the national park is by foot!
