Drive from Södra Sandby towards Revingeby. Just outside Södra Sandby is a sign "Ekeberga", a narrow gravel road past horse paddocks and some farms. After them is a former gravel quarry. Parks the car by the road. In the gravel quarry there are Sand martin nests. A garden star-of-Bethlehem blooms. At the gravel quarry is a bridle path Going east on sandy road. It has been the bottom of the lake, the ice age left sand behind. Enters a forest grove, a deciduous forest with beech and some old oaks. Lily-of-the-valley and arctic starflower grow along the road. In the middle of the grove, a path leads to an old farm plot "Tage's place". There is a coffee cave here, which is said to have been built from foundation stones from the demolished economy buildings. Apple trees, magnolias and chestnuts are blooming nearby. There is a larger shrubbery with rhododendrons. Also some lily of the valley and common columbine. A woodpecker drums on an old oak tree. In the middle of the plot is a table with benches, we take our coffee there. Going out to the pastures. But we'll have to examine them another time.
