At the last glacial period water from
the melting ice created a small gully at which is today Värpinge
village in western Lund. It is not so long, about 500 hundred meters,
but beautiful.
29 May 2010: Sets the bicycle
of Värpinge village at the end of the ravine. A cycle/footpath
runs along the east side of the ravine. To the ravine, which is a
nature reserve, are several stiles. Crossing the first one in the
southern part. In this part is there no stream, just bushes and grassy
slopes. Go north. The entire flock of sheep come on one line, do a
detour, and slip down from where I came. Here ends the stream's
meandering journey from north, it flows into a culvert. Continuing
north on the eastern slope. The stream meanders beautifully. Start by
walking down in the valley at the creek, but steep slopes forces me
upward. It is rather steep slopes. The stream has heavily eroded the
slopes. Trees live dangerously. Hawthorn is about to flower. Meadow
saxifrage blossom white on the ravine edge. It's a beautiful Saturday
afternoon, many adults and children take the opportunity to enjoy the
canyon and the weather. Like the stream has an end in a culvert, it has
its beginning in a culvert. I walk back down at the creek. Must switch
side of the creek when the slopes are in the way. Go up the western
slope. CLONK! Westbound is a golf course. The ball bounces dreary mere
20 meters away. To the east is residential Värpinge. Go to the
bicycle. A cat out walk around my legs, give it a pat before it
disappears into the green. I choose to ride home through the Monument
Park, the monument to the Battle of Lund, at a tunnel has art and
design school made tunnel decoration. Nicer than the usual grafittin.
In the park Borgaparken on Norra Fäladen is the annual Festival.
Stop by and listen to the cultural classes performing on stage. Eat
Gambian food. Some sort of fried dough, fried rice, and tomato sauce.
Not bad.
