Höör
Half a day for the zoo and castle, or an overnight if you want to hike the woods. Not a base for Scania — use Lund or Malmö.
Höör is a small town in central Scania, best known for Skåne Zoo (Nordic animals, pet moose) and the medieval Bosjökloster Castle on a lake. Most travellers stop for a few hours on the way between Malmö and Stockholm or Kristianstad. The town itself is quiet — the draw is the countryside.
