The line is OpenStreetMap's mapping of the route (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), via Waymarked Trails, with heights from a 30 m terrain model. Check the current official route before a long trip: diversions and permitted paths change. See the source.
The trail
Skåneleden is the network of waymarked trails across Skåne, in the south of Sweden, run by Region Skåne: seven sub-trails, about 1,600 km by its own count. Sub-trail 7, Sydkust ('south coast'), is 65 km in five stages from Ystad along the Baltic shore by Mossbystrand, Smygehamn and Trelleborg to Skåre. Region Skåne publishes the stages and any reroutes at skaneleden.se.

Paths change, and the weather decides the day. The line comes from the source named under the map and the heights from a terrain model, so treat the figures as a guide. Check for diversions before you go, take a map, check the forecast, and turn back if it isn't right.
