Högbonden
A steep rocky islet in the sea, where a century-old lighthouse on the summit has been converted into a youth hostel. It is ideal for watching sunrise and sunset.
Högbonden is a steep, rocky islet with a lighthouse built in 1909 on its summit. The lighthouse keeper’s house has been converted into a youth hostel run by the Swedish Tourist Association, making it one of the most popular unique places to stay on the High Coast. The island has short walking trails, cliff-edge viewpoints and a seaside sauna, and it offers sweeping sunsets over the Baltic Sea. In summer, boats leave from Bönhamn and take about 15 minutes, so it is possible to visit for a day. Overnight stays must be booked several months in advance.
