Statue of Birgit Holmquist

A statue of a nude woman stands in the harbour. It was made by artist Template:Ill and installed in 1930. It is named Famntaget ("The Embrace"). The model for the statue was Birgit Holmquist, mother of the model Nena von Schlebrügge, and grandmother and great-grandmother of actresses Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke, respectively.[1][2]

The village is traversed by the Skåneleden hiking path SL7 Sydkust (South coast), running between Template:Interlanguage link and Ystad.[3]
