The hiking opportunities here are suitable for different levels of adventurous spirits. Climb the Skuleberget on trails of varying difficulty or hike up the Dalsberget, which is the highest coastal mountain in Sweden at 332.5metres above sea level. At the top you can take a rest in the hut. If you're not so fond of walking, you can take the Hoga Kusten Lift to the top of Skuleberget and just enjoy the view.
