Directly adjacent to Värpinge there is a beautiful grazing about 700 meters long ravine with an exciting geology; nature reserve Rinnebäcksravinen.
Rinnebäck ravine
The ravine streams beautifully at the bottom of the ravine. The grazed land gives rise to a special flora which, due to modern agriculture, has become increasingly unusual. Some years, back swallows nest in the steppes.
There is a bus connection in Värpinge By and good walking and cycling routes are around the canyon so it is easy to get here. The area is frequented frequently by exercisers, dog owners and preschool and school classes.
Nature and cultural history As the first municipal nature reserve in 2003, the nature reserve was established by the Rinnebäcksravinen in order to preserve the ravine with the unusual geology and flora. The ravine is around seven meters deep and was created when the last ice sheet melted away. Large bodies of water cut into the soil, which consists of moraines. The grounds are made up of Daniite chalk. You can see different layers of soil in the slopes.
In ancient times, the area was used as a pasture and cattle street where the animals were transported between the village and the fields. Today the area is grazed by sheep. Here you can find, among other things, yellow seaweed, almond blossom, earth thistle, meadow oats and the unusual species of bush thorn. Trees and shrubs such as hawthorn, elderberry, rosehip, wild apple, birdberry and oak grow here. Rinnebäcken is cultivated north and south of the gorge. In heavy rains, large flows can be created in the streams that flow down the ravine, which can cause erosion at the edges. The stream continues down into Höje å. (Lund.se)
