Hagstad: Artur Lundkvistgården, Hagstastämman and the Landscape

Hagstad combines the Artur Lundkvistgården farm with the annual Hagstastämman gathering. There is also an extensive agricultural landscape in the valley of the Bäljane å and hiking in the beech forest of Oderljunga/Hagstad. This gives you several different starting points for planning your trip: literary and cultural history, an event date, or outdoor activity in the landscape. Which of these shapes your stay can help you decide how to approach Hagstad as a destination.

Artur Lundkvistgården and its biographical connection

Artur Lundkvistgården is in Hagstad, Oderljunga, Perstorp Municipality. Artur Lundkvist was born on this farm on March 3, 1906. For literature enthusiasts, this makes a specific biographical connection part of the local history: the person, date of birth and farm are directly linked. This historical connection is clearly rooted in the place, giving a trip to Hagstad a cultural and historical perspective alongside the landscape and events.

Hagstastämman: an annual event

Hagstastämman is held annually at Artur Lundkvistgården. If you are choosing the festival as a reason to travel, check the date of the next edition separately. The municipality’s 2025 description mentions an allspel (traditional folk music performance), a performance by a folk dance group and a concert. Craftspeople exhibited during the day, and food was also part of the program. The farm thus brings together two timelines: Lundkvist’s fixed historical birth date and the festival’s recurring annual occasion.

Agricultural landscape, hiking and cycling

The extensive agricultural landscape in the valley of the Bäljane å forms Hagstad’s rural setting. There are hiking routes in the beech forest of Oderljunga/Hagstad. Together, the agricultural valley and the forest offer settings for outdoor activity. This is a different focus from the event date or the farm’s biographical connection. If you are interested in the landscape, you can consider these aspects as a reason in their own right to include Hagstad in your travel plans.

The sixth stage of Cykelleden Skåne 101 can also be considered as a cycling route within the municipality: it runs between Perstorp and Klippan, is 22.9 km long and is rated easy. You should check the distance and rating again before planning. The stage complements hiking in the beech forest with a different type of activity and a specific route distance.

Getting your bearings and planning your hotel search

Artur Lundkvists väg runs from Oderljunga to Hagstad. If you are getting to know the local layout, this gives you a named connection between the two places and another point of reference for finding your way around.

If you want to travel to Hagstastämman, plan around the date, which you should check separately. For literary history, the birthplace is the main attraction; for nature and outdoor activity, the agricultural landscape, hiking and cycling route are different points of interest. This lets you connect Hagstad’s attractions with what you want to focus on during your trip.
