Smygehuk

Smygehuk is a harbour and fishing village at Smygehamn in Skåne, Sweden. It is most known for being the southernmost point of Sweden, and the entire Scandinavian Peninsula (55° 20' N). To the west of the harbour are Smygehuk Lighthouse and Smygehuk Hostel.

A statue of a nude woman stands in the harbour. It was made by artist Axel Ebbe [sv] 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 Skåre [sv] and Ystad.^[3]
