Park in a parking lot near Brösarp's bus terminal. Will pick up an acquaintance who comes by bus and to walk on Brösarp's northern slopes. Thought it was a commuter parking but that was wrong. It belongs to a nursing home. Well, the bus is coming soon so I will not be standing illegally for that long. Cross road 19 and drive towards Bertilstorp. After just under two kilometers, a signpost is towards a parking lot. A narrow gravel road for a kilometer, luckily you do not meet anyone. There are some cars in the parking lot.

Follows a blue trail. At first a dirt road. Past a few hills. On path through forest. Comes to the farm Glimmebodagården, which is owned by Albo Härads Hembygdsförening. The farm shows a farm environment from the 18th century. Several who have parked here to hike the slopes. We take a short coffee break and continue.

Comes out on the field again. Over a stile and up on slopes with an wide view. Extensive views to the east and south. Heather is already blooming along the path up on the crest. We take simple lunch with a view. The path goes into the forest again, with fields and birch groves at the edge. Walkers wonder what there is to photograph here. Fabulating something. Through forest on a kind of old road along a valley. A short distance on a sandy path, then a narrow forest road. Out in the field. A silver-washed fritillary butterfly sits on a field scabious. Back at the parking lot.

Drive the gravel road back, no one meets now either. Nice. Drive to the real commuter parking. There is now in the summer a "Food, Beer, Wine and Glassbar", a food truck with the name Pig and Dragon, which my company wants to try. Beer, the local Scanian classic, and a kind of burger. Well, it is OK. The local brewery is Österlenbryggarna in Brösarp. Drive my friend home.

Parking in the yard of the Brösarp inn. Have booked a room for the night there. Drive the wrong entrance, which confuses another guest. Check in. Then go to the cafe Smulan near the ICA store and buy cardamom buns for the excursion. Following Skåneleden west towards Brösarps northern slopes. On the slope towards Verke river flowers some cowslip and pasqueflower. Coming up to the road to Kristianstad. Difficult to follow the markings. Markings are along the road towards Brösarp. Probably wrong since some are painted over. It does not matter, go across the road and then a stile onto the slopes.

Be warned about cattle, but they are on the other side of the river. Beautiful soft surface. Gently rolling heath and sandy ground. The woman at the reception at the inn warned that there is no paths and can be difficult to find the way. Looked perhaps lost out. The slopes provide nice views. A height is covered with cowslip. A slope is covered with Eastern Groundsel. A lot of saxifrage blossom. A carpet with small white flowers. A stone wall showing the way up to the highest height. The slope is divided by a hollow. Here is heather, becomes beautiful when it blooms. Having lunch in the hollow sheltered from the somewhat chilly east wind. Half asleep for a long time.

Wakes up, goes via a juniper groove down to the river. Following Skåneleden from the hills to the parking Piraten. Get lost again where the trail crosses the road. Run quickly across. Go down to the river for coffee with cardamom buns. Go a bit along the river. Then up to the trail and back to the inn.

The evening is devoted to the dinner "Gästgifvaremiddag": nettle soup, veal entrecote, suitable wine. Then sleep well in the comfortable bed.
