Here you will have a guided tour and experience some of the authentic Wallander film sceneries. Also you will be guided behind the cameras of “Frostbite” – (not a Wallander, but still very popular Vampire movie) and “Mastermind”

After the Wallander city tour in Ystad drive on to Löderup approx 15 kilometres, and the east coast of Skåne, Österlen. The landscape is stunning with woods, hills and one of the best beaches in Sweden, Sandhammaren. Exciting all year round – just different.

– Löderup where the father of Wallander lived in a typically Skåne whitewash long, low farmhouse.

Have dinner in Ystad or at your hotel:
Dinner suggestion 1: Restaurant Steakhouse Bryggeriet. A pair of enormous copper boilers tower at the centre of the floor creates a rather unique interior atmosphere. The half-timbered building dated back to mid 17th century is transformed into a traditional Steakhouse while the brewery continues to maintain its old tradition of brewing beer, ”Ystad Fresh Beer” being one of its most well known beers. The Steakhouse/Brewery is the only one of its kind in all of Skåne.

Dinner suggestion 2: Restaurant “Store Thor”, which occupies a series of vaulted cellars that were built as part of a monastery in the 1500s. Several hundred years later, the Rådhus (Town Hall) was reconstructed after a disastrous fire above the monastery’s cellars. Today, amid small tables and romantic candlelight will give you a warm
Day 3.
After breakfast, drive back to Malmö, If you are in the mood for more Wallander, take a Sidetrack to Sjöbo and Vollsjö, where the killer in the Fifth Women had a big baking oven. A beautiful country road along the Valley “Fyledalen” will take you there. The valley attracts birdwatchers from all Europe – you can among other birds of prey study Golden Eagle all year round and White-tailed Eagle in winter. Before returning to Malmö, take a lunch break in one of the old inns alongside the road or stop for a city break in Malmö.

Additional 20 kilometres with a side tracker to Sjöbo.
