High Coast Trail (Höga Kustenleden)
Höga Kustenleden
One of Sweden's most famous long-distance trails, about 130 km through the High Coast World Heritage Site past bays, cliffs and forests; you can hike it in sections.
The trail runs from Hornöberget on the north side of the High Coast Bridge in the south to Varvsberget in Örnsköldsvik in the north. It covers about 130 km in 13 sections, and a full hike usually takes 7–10 days. Along the way you pass Skuleberget, Skuleskogen National Park and the Slottsdalen gorge, as well as bayside fishing villages and several pebble beaches along old shorelines formed by land uplift after the ice age. The trail has free wooden huts (stuga) and camping spots, marked with orange signs. Most visitors who don't do the full route choose the Skuleskogen National Park section, a round trip of about 5–6 hours in a day. The trail is free, and the right of public access allows camping. Bring your own supplies, and be aware that some sections have slippery, steep rock, so check the weather. Buses reach the starting points of several sections.
