- Skuleberget & Slåttdalsskrevan — a must-see: a steep granite ridge with a dramatic cleft you can peer into (and scramble around). The views from the top are raw and immediate — cliffs, sea and forests — and there’s even via ferrata/climbing options if you want to make it more than a photo stop.
- Högakustenbron (High Coast Bridge) — the region’s landmark. Seeing the suspension bridge span the wide Ångermanälven estuary gives you a real sense of scale and the unique interplay between sea and rising land; it’s a great sunrise/sunset framing point and an unmistakable High Coast postcard.
- The uplifted coastline and raised beaches — this is what sets the trail apart: visible post-glacial rebound has left wave-cut terraces, polished bedrock and stair-like beaches. Walk them and you’re literally … read more 👉

- The uplifted coastline and raised beaches — this is what sets the trail apart: visible post-glacial rebound has left wave-cut terraces, polished bedrock and stair-like beaches. Walk them and you’re literally crossing land that’s been rising out of the sea over millennia — geology that looks spectacular and is easy to read with your feet.
- Archipelago panoramas and wildlife — from cliff edges you’ll catch countless skerries and small islands stretching into the sea. Keep an eye out for white-tailed sea eagles, seals along rocky shores and seabirds wheeling around the rocks — wildlife encounters here feel wild but accessible.
- Coastal villages, boathouses and lighthouses — scattered small harbours, red boathouses and old fishing sites give the trail a lived-in, cultural texture. They’re perfect spots for a break, a fika, or to imagine how people have made a life off this steep, beautiful coast for generations.
