The Höje River

The Höje River is a 35 km waterway that flows from Lake Häckeberga near Lund through the Scania region, eventually emptying into the Öresund near Lomma. Travelers visit this area to walk or cycle along the riverbanks and observe the rural landscapes of southern Sweden.

Getting There

The river spans a wide area, but the sections closest to Malmö are accessible via local bus or bicycle from the city centre. Depending on which part of the river you visit, the journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes.

Time Allocation

Depending on whether you are taking a short walk or cycling a longer stretch of the course, allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the riverside paths.

When to Visit

The river is best visited during the spring and summer months when the landscape is green and the weather permits outdoor activity. Daytime visits are recommended for visibility and safety along the trails. It does not typically experience heavy crowds, though it is more popular on sunny weekends.
