You are at the top of one of two moraine ridges that surround Skurup municipality in the west and east. The area was one of the first that the ice sheet melted from in our country 10,000 years ago. The ridges are relics from that time. As the ground was depressed by the ice, the valley was for a long time a naturally protected bay. Here came the first people from present-day Germany and Poland. The earliest "Scanians" engaged in hunting reindeer in the then cold climate.

In the neighboring village of Skateholm, excavations a few years ago encountered remains an entire Stone Age village (7,500-6-500 years BC). The unique finds, including the remains of some ninety individuals, are today on display at Trelleborg's museum.

A few yards east of the farm, perched on the crest of the ridge, are some hills. These are three of the area's more than twenty burial mounds from the Bronze Age, about 3000 year old. Just north of these is a larger mound, Galgbacken, which until 1848 was Vemmenhögs härad's execution site. On the north side of the road 101 are the three Vemmen mounds that have given their names to the villages east and west of there. Next to Östra Vemmenhög's church (from the 1100s) is The Arms Mound.

For the Vikings, the area around Östra Vemmenhög was attractive. Around the ford where the allfarleden (now road 101, "Landsvägen") crossed Dybäcksån, the Vikings lived and traded there. Here the runestone, which still stands in place, was erected with the inscription "Brother erected this stone after Bosse, brother his, (a) very good fighter". At nearby Tullstorp you can find one of the more prominent runestones in the country. It is unique both in design and in that it is one of the few stones where a woman shaped the message.

The host couple will be happy to tell you more about the background to these places. Maps with marked hiking trails can be found to borrow.

For those interested in Vikings, a tip is to visit the Viking museum "Telleborgen" and "Fotevikens" open-air museum outside Höllviken. A vibrant Viking town where you can experience the Viking Age "for real"!

Here, for example, it is described about what happened to the priest's cavalier maid after the last execution on the nearby "Galgebacken" in 1848, the suitors' struggle at the "Fiancé's Wad" and where the town's name Vemmenhög originates from.
