Audio Guide of Skuleskogen National Park

The park is open 24 hours a day all year round, as it is a protected natural area with free access. The most common way to get there is by car to one of its three entrances (West, South, or North), although in summer there is a public transport option called High Coast Hikebus.

No, admission to Skuleskogen National Park is completely free, thanks to Sweden’s right of public access to nature. There are also no parking fees at the designated entrances, so you can enjoy the experience without spending a single euro.

For a full experience that includes reaching the famous Slåttdalsskrevan crevice, I recommend allowing between 4 and 6 hours. If you only plan a short walk near the entrances, 2 hours could be enough.

Skuleskogen is the heart of the High Coast World Heritage Site, famous for having the greatest land uplift in the world after the Ice Age. It is a unique place to understand geology and see how the land continues to rise by millimeters every year.

The best time is from late May to September, when the trails are free of snow and the weather is milder. Autumn (September–October) is spectacular for the colors, but make sure to go during daylight, as it gets dark early.

Because of its rocky and steep terrain, much of the park is not accessible for wheelchairs. However, the South Entrance has an adapted wooden boardwalk of about 200 meters that goes into the forest and offers basic facilities.

Right next door you have Mount Skuleberget, famous for its via ferrata routes and incredible views, as well as the visitor center Naturum High Coast. It is also worth visiting the picturesque fishing village of Bönhamn if you are traveling by car.

Wear very sturdy waterproof trekking shoes, as the terrain is full of roots and slippery stones. Do not forget to download your audio guide from IAudioguia.com before entering, as mobile coverage can fail in the deeper parts of the forest.
