Audio Guide of Hölick Nature Reserve

As a nature reserve, access to the area and trails is open 24 hours a day all year round. To get there, you need to drive about 30 km from Hudiksvall toward the Hornslandet peninsula; in summer there are also local bus options.

Entry to Hölick's natural area is completely free, thanks to Sweden's right of public access. However, specific services such as Hölick Havsresort (camping and spa) have their own rates.

For a complete experience that includes a hike and seeing the rock formations, we recommend setting aside at least 3 to 4 hours. If you plan to have a picnic on the beach or explore the caves in depth, spending the whole day is ideal.

Hölick is famous for having the second-longest primary rock cave system in Europe and ancient Ice Age pebble fields. Historically, it also served as an important fishing settlement and still preserves its traditional charm.

Summer (July and August) is the best time if you want to enjoy Storsand Beach and all services being open. However, early autumn offers spectacular colors for hiking and a much quieter atmosphere.

The natural terrain is quite rugged and rocky, which makes access to the caves and wild beaches difficult for wheelchairs. However, the areas near the resort and some main trails are adapted and paved.

Take advantage of being in Hornslandet Ecopark to visit the lighthouse and enjoy the unspoiled nature. In addition, the picturesque town of Hudiksvall, with its iconic wooden houses by the water, is only half an hour away by car.

It is essential to bring very comfortable and sturdy footwear for walking on the stones, and a flashlight if you plan to enter the caves. To enrich your historical experience, do not forget to visit IAudioguia.com before your trip.
