Wo ist das Meer?

We went to the Baltic today and took a walk in this wunderful springday (6 degrees…). The clouds wanted us to be afraid but I wasn´t. I may feel more swedish in a way.

The Falsterbo Peninsula is the name of the southwesternmost tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula. It marks the border between the Baltic Sea and the Sound (Öresund). Within, the two towns of Skanör and Falsterbo have grown together to form a conurbation, with a total of about 7,000 inhabitants. Both are located in the elongated reef-like western part of the peninsula, Falsterbo to the south and Skanör to the north.Skanör and Falsterbo are often denoted as cities due to historical reasons. The town of Falsterbo can definitely be said to have existed in the early 13th century when the city, together with its close neighbour Skanör hosted the annual Scania Market (Skånemarknaden). As the market was dismantled during the 16th century the two cities lost their former importance, but retained the town privileges however with joint administration. Thus Falsterbo and Skanör remained small fishing towns until the rail line from Malmö–Vellinge was built in 1904. Along the railroad, new residential areas grew up. The railroad was eventually closed down in 1971 and dismantled the year after.
