For about 200 million years ago passed a flock dinosaurs Vallåkra. The ground was hidden with clay mud. The tracks were covered by more clay. Recently, the site has been used as clay quarry. In the 1970s, one found the footprints.

The path goes along the brook from the stoneware factory. To the right is the location. A faint trail goes into the trees. Below a rock wall is a flat surface. Today, there are no traces of footsteps. At Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg and Geological Institute in Lund are footprints on display.

A path going up on the edge of the cliff. Looking out over the site. Expect a flock come. No one appears. The herd is considered to have belonged to the species Dilophosaurus. The species was resurrected in the movie Jurassic Park, which otherwise is an incredibly silly movie.

Leaving the site. Following the path over Råån. On the other side is Borgen. A hill believed to have been a fortification long ago. Following the trail north of the hill along a stream. On the other side of Borgen is also a former clay quarry. On the slope is a large amount of moss. Crossing the Borgen which is a plateau. On one side is visible remnants of an embankment.

Returning to the stoneware factory. Having lunch sandwiches at the restaurant. Fantastic to be able to sit out in November. Buy a candle in the factory.
