About Stenshuvud National Park
Stenshuvud is a hill in the southeastern corner of Sweden, in the province of Scania, close to Kivik in Simrishamn Municipality. Since 1986, it is one of the National parks of Sweden. The park covers an area of about 3.9 km2 (1.5 mi2). The hill is 97 m (318 ft) high and faces the Baltic Sea. Since the surrounding landscape is relatively flat, it can be seen from a great distance and has traditionally been used as a landmark for seafarers. Many visitors trek up the hill to enjoy the view which is very good in clear weather. The Stenshuvud National Park is traversed by a section of the Skåneleden Trail, between Simrishamn and Kivik.
