Discover Hagstad

Hagstad lies in an expansive agricultural landscape in the valley of the Bäljane å river. The village connects this rural landscape with Artur Lundkvistgården and the annual Hagstastämman. When planning your trip, you can weigh whether the landscape, the local biographical history, or a cultural event should be the focus of your stay.

A farm with a biographical connection

Artur Lundkvistgården is the farm in Hagstad where Artur Lundkvist was born on March 3, 1906. Hagstad is located in Oderljunga, in the Municipality of Perstorp. The connection between the person, date, and place gives the biographical theme a concrete anchor. If you also choose travel destinations based on their local history, this farm and a clearly dated event offer a way to explore Hagstad. This approach focuses on a person and a biographical connection, while the agricultural landscape tells a different story about the character of the place.

Hagstastämman: an annual cultural event

Hagstastämman takes place annually at Artur Lundkvistgården. The 2025 program included an allspel (group folk music performance), a performance by a folk dance group, and a concert. Artisans exhibited during the day, and food was also part of the program. That year’s event therefore featured music, dance, crafts, and food. These details apply to 2025. If you are planning a trip around Hagstastämman, check the date and the program announced for that year.

Landscape and walks

The beech forest of Oderljunga/Hagstad is another local feature, with walks available there. This places the expansive agricultural landscape in the valley of the Bäljane å alongside walking in the beech forest as two distinct ways to experience nature. The landscape description helps you get a sense of Hagstad’s surroundings, while the walks identify an activity. When planning, you can therefore decide whether to focus mainly on the rural landscape or on walks in the beech forest.

Cycle route and getting around the area

In the context of the Municipality of Perstorp, you can also consider stage six of Cykelleden Skåne. It runs between Perstorp and Klippan, is 22.9 kilometres long, and is rated easy. Its length and rating are two separate points to consider when planning a ride: the length indicates the extent of the stage, and the rating indicates its difficulty. Check both details again before setting out on a specific ride.

Artur Lundkvists väg offers another way to navigate the area, running from Oderljunga to Hagstad. The road connects these two place names; the cycling stage has Perstorp and Klippan as its endpoints. These are two distinct geographical connections: the road to Hagstad and the stage on the regional cycle route network. Walks are also available in the beech forest of Oderljunga/Hagstad, so walking and cycling can be considered as separate activities when planning your trip.

Choosing Hagstad as a place to stay

When looking for a hotel in Hagstad, it helps to first decide what matters most for your stay. The farm and Hagstastämman are directly connected with Hagstad; the walks are in the beech forest of Oderljunga/Hagstad. The cycling stage, by contrast, is located in the context of the Municipality of Perstorp and runs between Perstorp and Klippan. This distinction gives you a clear starting point for considering local interests and the regional cycle route separately in your travel plans.
