Editing Höör Municipality (section)

== Geography ==

Höör Municipality credits itself by being different from the rest of [[Scania]]: Apart from [[agricultural]] areas, Höör Municipality also has several forests and the lake [[Ringsjön]]. Ringsjön is the second largest lake in Skåne County and covers some 40&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, about three times the size of the town of [[Höör]].<ref>1: written brochure ''HöörGuide'' (2005), and a tourist map (2005), from the Tourist Information in Höör.</ref>

The two main attractions of the municipality that draw visitors  are the zoological garden [[Skånes Djurpark]], and the ''Bosjökloster Castle'' established in the 12th century. The castle is situated in a scenic location in a cape in the lake [[Ringsjön]]; the zoological garden is situated just north of the town of [[Höör]].

Sights in the town proper are few in the little town with its 7,000 inhabitants, but it has a large 12th-century church, with a north transept from 1769 (an unusual date for [[Skåne]] churches) and a 19th-century tower, along with some picturesque older houses. A peaceful place, the typical Höör house is one or two storeys tall, with no large streets. Adding to the picturesque image are two centrally located small ponds with densely foliaged trees and bushes surrounding them, which increases in thickness until they unite with the forests surrounding the town.
