Based on a vote among Ystad Allehanda readers in 2023, “Österlen’s most beautiful road” was chosen. The result was overwhelming, with almost 80% of the votes. But it was not some coastal road or open landscape with magnificent views that won, but rather the Raskarums and Ekerödsvägen road that winds through the beautiful green beech forest. It is the road between road 19 in the west and road 9 in the east; between Fågeltofta, Sankt Olof and Rörum. The stretch of road has always been one of our favorites, but we’ve never really managed to get a good picture of the area. Probably because we haven’t tried hard enough…
Scania was hit yesterday by a snow storm with wet snow that stuck to everything and it became slushy and slippery. We passed the area in the middle of the day on our way to Österlenfoto to pick up the finished images for the Easter exhibition. We couldn’t resist the temptation to stop to capture the dark trunks of the beeches against the light snow stuck to last year’s brown leaves.
We must come back in spring and try to capture the sheer greenery of the beech forest…
