Flyinge
Flyinge is the largest and best-known breeding station in Sweden and one of the world’s oldest studs, dating back to the 12th century. It is an equestrian centre for breeding, research and training. The stud is situated about 15 kilometres from Lund in southern Sweden and was established as a royal stud by King Carl X Gustaf of Sweden in 1661. In 2011 Flyinge celebrated its 350th anniversary.

I prefer to saunter in Lunds city centre, or in Malmös, where they also have a great selection of stores, restaurants and cafés.
You reach Lund in 5 minutes and Malmö in 10 minutes. You can get to the urban centre of Copenhagen in an hour. You can take the car over the bridge or you jump on a train in Hjärup 1,5 km away from Vragerup. I can recommend you to take a Öresunds tour. You go over the bridge one way and go with the boats in Helsingborg the other way. Their is plenty of shopping to do outside of the cities to.
