If you look at a map of Lund in Sweden and check the west end of the city you'll find a strange mark which says the RinnebÀck Ravine. The mark is placed between a residential neighborhood and a golf court, however, if you look at pictures people have uploaded to the internet there seems to be a wide valley here. Therefore, for this post a short excursion was committed to the valley.
On a map the ravine appears as nothing but a creek. A paved pedestrian road next to the ravine makes it accessible via bicycle. Next to the road are some private spare time vegetable plots., but not much more. You can park your bicycle by the North entrance and approach the edge to which the lush valley enters your view. In the bottom there is a creek flowing from a concrete pipe and down the valley. Above a wind turbine spins in the background. This view is certainly different from downtown Lund.
You're allowed to climb down into the ravine but be aware that the slope is steep and plenty of vegetation block the path. If you want to proceed in the valley you must be ready to cross the creek multiple times. Down there the first tree the eye catches is a small apple tree next to the creek. Alongside the ravine you can also find plumb trees and cherry trees. Early August is the season for plums and as long as you can reach the fruits you may eat as many as you'd like.
A flock of sparrows hide in the vegetation. If you poke your head into the vegetation you'll also find snails. Actually, there are a lot of snails in the valley, so you'll likely see a lot down there. At a turn up with the gaze there is a cow there that has wandered into view. A bit further down the valley there is an encounter with the rest of the herd all which slowly move out of the way for their visitors.
The trees along the valley cast a shadow into the ravine towards the end. If your turn your head up you'll view the crown of large oak trees. Furthermore willows grow alongside the creek. From there you can climb out of the valley and to which you have completed the path.
On the way back to the bicycle parking you may walk back on either side of the valley. If you take the path on the North side you will get the fields in your view. In conclusion, if you are close and are going for a quiet walk this is a good spot to add as a destination. The ravine takes less than an hour to walk. You could extend the walk around the nearby rye field if you like to.
