Lernacken is an artificial headland located southwest of Malmö, extending into the Öresund strait. Visitors go here for open coastal views and a walk through a landscape characterized by scattered shrubs and the sea. It serves as a quiet outdoor space for observing the coastline and the water crossing between Sweden and Denmark.
