Hammars backar - Kåsebergaåsen, Naturvårdsområde

Hammars backar-Kåsebergaåsen sträcker sig drygt en mil längs den östra delen av Skånes sydkust. Mot havet reser sig en brant klintkust som höjer sig trettiotalet meter över slätten bakom. Vid Kåseberga finns en av landets märkligaste och mest fantasieggande fornlämningar – Ales stenar. Just här finns begränsningar kring skärmflygning, en sport som annars är populär inom Hammars backar och Kåsebergaåsen.

Welcome to the nature conservation area of Hammars backar-Kåsebergaåsen

This is a landscape of sand, wind, and the sea. The sandy hills of Kåsebergaåsen descend steeply down into the sea and the views are endless. Perhaps this is why our forefathers chose just this spot for their mythical stone monument shaped like a ship - Ale Stenar (Ale’sStones).

The cows have grazed on the sandy slopes of Kåsebergaåsen ridge for many hundreds of years. It is thanks to them that we have this open, species-rich landscape. In April and May, the barren slopes are coloured yellow by flowering cowslips, eastern groundsel and bulbous buttercup. In places it shifts to purple from dwarf pasqueflower and pasqueflower. On warm summer days, there is an eternal fluttering and buzzing of butterflies, bumblebees and bees looking for nectar and pollen, among the flowering herbs.

Sand martins make their nests in the hard-compacted sandy slopes, whilst tawny pipits prefer a sandy pit or grassy tuft on the open areas.

On this southeasterly corner of Skåne, many migrating birds pass over during the spring and summer, primarily sea birds. Visit Kåseberga in April and watch thousands of eider ducks on their journey northwards.
