Day
01
Arrival in Båstad
Transfer to Norrviken. The route leaves the coast and leads up to Hallandsåsen with its lively deciduous forests, reed beds, meadows and pastures. The hilly landscape takes you back to the sea at Hovs Hallar, where you can admire several burial mounds from the Bronze Age. You continue to the very tip of the Bjäre peninsula, where the picturesque fishing village of Torekov is located.
Today you start in the southern nature reserve of the Bjäre coast. Across coastal meadows, gravel fields, sandy beaches and past idyllic little villages, you will always have the mighty silhouette of the Kullaberg in view. You walk along the sea all day long, pass small harbours and have several opportunities to swim. Finally you reach Vejbystrand and your accommodation.
Short transfer to Utvälinge and the start of Kullaleden. You walk through cosy little residential areas, mixed with sandy beaches, grassy meadows and pastures, almost exclusively along the sea. The route continues through the residential area along the coast of Jonstorp and Rekekroken. On a clear day you can see Hallands Väderö and Torekov on the Bjäre peninsula.
If you still have plenty of energy left in your legs, you can visit Nimis today, a famous work of art made from driftwood. Shortly before Kullens fyr, you will pass Josefinelust, a viewpoint with a view of the idyllic pebble beach and the caves next to it. You continue your hike through the nature reserve until you reach the historic little seaside resort of Mölle.
From Mölle along paths and gravel roads by the sea. If the weather is fine, you can even catch a glimpse of Denmark ahead of you. Perhaps take a detour to Krapperup Castle with its moat and enchanting park. Along the coast you will see small, cosy villages such as Lerhamn and Nyhamnsläge before you reach Höganäs.
Today you will encounter magnificent views all day long. You can see Denmark on the other side of the strait and Kronborg Castle in Elsinore is getting closer and closer. To the north of Helsingborg lies Sofiero Castle with its impressive garden, which you can visit for a while. The last few kilometres take you through forests and parks to Helsingborg, the pearl of the Öresund.
