When summer fades and the light turns softer, Skåne enters one of its most beautiful times of year. Autumn paints the landscape in warm tones – golden fields, red apple trees, and glowing beech forests. A fine mist often drifts over the coast, and in the early mornings, the meadows sparkle with dew.
For anyone who loves peace and nature, an autumn holiday in Skåne is simply perfect – and Kvarnviks Gård is the ideal place to experience it all.
A Farm Between Sea, Fields, and Light
Kvarnviks Gård lies in the heart of Söderslätt, just minutes from the sea. Surrounded by fruit trees, open countryside, and that soft southern light, you’ll feel a sense of calm the moment you arrive.
Autumn here has its own rhythm – in the distance you might hear a rooster calling, while the midday sun still warms the terraces where you can sit outside and soak in the quiet mood across the fields.
In the evening, the buildings glow in golden light, and the air carries the scent of earth, sea, and wood smoke.
It’s a place where time slows down, the world feels softer, and your autumn holiday in Skåne becomes a gentle experience of nature, wind, and peace.
Walks in the Autumn Sun
The surroundings of Kvarnviks Gård are perfect for long walks and small excursions. One of the most beautiful spots is the Bokskogen Forest near Torup, a vast beech woodland that turns brilliant gold and copper in October.
Another highlight is the beach of Beddingestrand – quiet, wide, and full of gentle light even in autumn. When the wind sweeps over the Baltic and the waves roll softly onto shore, you’ll experience Skåne’s peaceful, coastal soul.
Tip: Visit Smygehuk, Sweden’s southernmost point, and stop by Café Smyge for a homemade cinnamon bun and coffee with a view of the lighthouse – a perfect moment during your autumn holiday in Skåne.
Culture, Markets and Light Festivals
Autumn also brings a vibrant cultural season to Skåne. In Malmö and Lund, you’ll find museums, art galleries, and cozy cafés. A local favorite is Kulturen in Lund, an open-air museum with historic buildings where family-friendly Halloween walks take place in October.
A true classic is the Apple Market in Kivik, held every year at the end of September. The charming coastal village fills with the scent of apples and local produce. Visitors can enjoy fresh apple cider and admire the famous apple mosaic – a massive artwork made from thousands of colorful apples.
All across the region, countless harvest markets celebrate local food, crafts, and traditions – a lovely way to taste and feel the essence of autumn in Skåne.
Another highlight is Österlen Lyser, the “Festival of Lights” on the east coast. Entire villages glow with candles and lanterns, live music fills the streets, and local farms offer apple cake, crafts, and steaming cups of glögg.
And for families, the Skräckveckan (Week of Frights) in Malmö’s Folkets Park offers a fun mix of music, magic, crafts, and just the right amount of Halloween spookiness – all with free entry.
Tastes of Autumn
An autumn holiday in Skåne is also a culinary journey. Apples, pumpkins, root vegetables, and berries dominate the season’s flavors.
Just a short drive from the farm, in Beddingestrand, you’ll find Bistro Saltarv – a modern, stylish seaside restaurant where you can enjoy fresh fish, homemade bread, and delicate desserts in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere.
Local farm cafés and markets offer everything from Hallongården’s famous waffles to small-batch apple juice from Österlen – perfect for a cozy afternoon treat.
