Hoga Kusten

The High Coast in Ångermanland is a UNESCO World Heritage coastal landscape shaped by post-glacial land uplift. Steep forested terrain, islands and views over the Gulf of Bothnia distinguish it from flatter stretches of Sweden's east coast. The geology is central to understanding the area rather than merely a backdrop to the scenery. Skuleskogen National Park and the High Coast Trail provide routes through the landscape, from shorter walks to longer hikes. Conditions, distances and elevation should be considered carefully, and routes should match the traveller's experience. Summer and early autumn are common hiking periods, but weather can change quickly near the coast. Use designated paths, respect protected nature and check current trail information before departure.
