ÄNGELHOLM
Ängelholm is a locality and the seat of Ängelholm Municipality in Skåne County, Sweden with 38.000 inhabitants. The region Skåne (Scania) is a landscape of contrasts, which offers great diversity within easy traveling distance. The countryside is varied – from the wide-open plains, rolling fields of rapeseed, and 400 km of coast lined with white sandy beaches, to the deep forests of the north east and the steep cliff faces of the north west. http://www.engelholm.se/English/
