Discover Perstorp: Nature and Culture

Perstorp is a suitable destination if you want to include nature, outdoor activities and local history in your plans. The Uggleskogen municipal nature reserve is right by the town; the Cykelleden Skåne cycling route also passes through Perstorp. Golf, a swimming pool open year-round and several cultural heritage sites offer additional points of interest.

Nature Trails and Forest Landscapes

Uggleskogen is close to the town of Perstorp and is a municipal nature reserve. It consists mainly of beech forest; some of the oldest trees may have germinated as early as the late 18th century. The area has several fitness circuits and trails. Forest and exercise are equally central to this natural area.

The Perstorpssjöarna runt loop trail offers a different kind of landscape. It passes through parks close to town, quiet forest clearings and open lake landscapes. While Uggleskogen is known above all for its beech forest, the loop trail connects a variety of landscapes. If you are choosing between nature experiences as you plan your trip, you can take these different features into account.

Cycling, Golf and Swimming

The Cykelleden Skåne cycling route passes through Perstorp. This makes the town a convenient stop along the route for a cycling trip. Another highlight is Perstorps Golfbana: the 18-hole course combines forest and parkland. Its holes are set among lakes, forest and ponds. Perstorps GK is close to Route 21 and Perstorp railway station. The cycling route and golf course offer different options when planning your activities.

Ugglebadet is a swimming pool open year-round, offering activities for exercise, relaxation, swimming lessons and recreation. It adds the option of a pool visit alongside outdoor activities. If you include Ugglebadet in your plans, check the current offerings in advance, as they may change.

Cultural History and Getting Around

Plastens Hus displays Perstorp’s first plastic product and information about the experiment that led to Isolit, Scandinavia’s first plastic material. The museum also presents the history of plastics through notable products. This makes the development of plastics a distinct historical theme from Perstorps kyrka, which was built in the 12th century with the help of monks from Herrevad Abbey.

Perstorp’s Hembygdsgården dates back to the 17th century and houses an extensive collection of old household objects. Together with the church and Plastens Hus, it offers different ways to explore local history: a medieval church, a collection of historical everyday objects and the history of plastics. The tourist office’s location is also clearly described: it is in the same building as Plastens Hus on Hässleholmsvägen, Route 21, which runs through Perstorp.
