The route
The Kattegat Cycle Route follows Sweden's west coast from Gothenburg to Helsingborg along well-signposted cycle paths and quiet country roads with very little traffic. Most of the route is paved, although some shorter sections follow gravel roads. The scenery is varied, with flat coastal stretches and more undulating sections through lush forests, open farmland and charming coastal communities. You'll encounter some climbs, particularly across the Bjäre Peninsula. With daily distances of approximately 40–95 km, including some relatively long stages, this cycling holiday is suitable for experienced cyclists who would like to explore Sweden's west coast at an active pace.

Itinerary
See the day-by-day itinerary below.
Welcome to Gothenburg, Sweden's second-largest city and the starting point of your cycling holiday along the Kattegat Cycle Route. After arriving and checking into your hotel, the rest of the day is yours to explore the city at your own pace. Wander through the charming Haga district, where cobbled streets, traditional wooden houses and cosy cafés create a wonderful atmosphere.
You can also visit the Gothenburg Museum of Art and the famous Poseidon statue at Götaplatsen, or enjoy a stroll along the city's canals and through its green parks. Gothenburg is particularly well known for its fish and seafood restaurants, so why not begin your holiday with a delicious dinner featuring the flavours of Sweden's west coast?

Today, your cycling adventure along the Kattegat Cycle Route begins! Leaving central Gothenburg, you'll follow the harbour entrance past Röda Sten and the Klippan Cultural Reserve, where the city's industrial heritage meets a lively art and cultural scene. Continue past the former shipyard area of Nya Varvet before leaving the bustle of the city behind and cycling south towards the scenic surroundings of Stora Amundön. Along the way, you'll discover a beautiful coastal landscape of rocky shores, leafy forests, sheltered bays and small marinas.
Between Askim and Billdal, the cycle route runs close to the sea before continuing along a former railway line that has been transformed into a pleasant cycle path. Soon, you'll reach Särö, once a popular summer retreat for royalty and Gothenburg's high society. The area is still known for its beautiful villas, lush greenery and idyllic coastal setting. From here, continue through the rural countryside via Vallda before reaching Kungsbacka, a charming town with historic wooden houses, welcoming cafés and restaurants.

Category A hotel (example): Hotel Halland
After breakfast, leave Kungsbacka and cycle south through rural countryside with open fields, horse farms and rolling hills. One of today's first highlights is Fjärås Bräcka, an impressive gravel ridge offering wonderful views of both the sea and Lake Lygnern. Here, you can stop to visit the historic Li burial ground, where more than a hundred standing stones bear witness to the area's long history.
Continue through Halland's beautiful agricultural landscape towards the coastal village of Åsa, where you'll meet the sea once again. From here, the route passes through small villages and communities such as Frillesås and Tångaberg, surrounded by green countryside and open fields. Along the way, the coastal scenery gradually changes, with a mixture of sandy beaches, rocky stretches of shoreline and small islands offshore. Today's destination is the historic seaside town of Varberg, where the impressive medieval fortress and beautiful cold bathhouse are among the best-known attractions. End the day with a stroll along the seafront or a delicious dinner in the charming town centre.

Category A hotel (example): Varbergs Stadshotell
Today's cycling stage begins with a beautiful ride along Varberg's seafront promenade, leaving the impressive fortress behind as you continue south along the coast. If you haven't already visited the fortress, it's well worth stopping to discover its fascinating history and see the famous Bocksten Man, a remarkable archaeological discovery from the Middle Ages.
Continue through the open coastal landscapes of Halland, passing charming fishing villages such as Träslövsläge and Glommen. In Träslövsläge, known locally as Läjet, you can wander through narrow streets lined with well-preserved wooden houses and experience the atmosphere of the traditional fishing harbour. It's also a wonderful place to sample fresh langoustines and other seafood from Sweden's west coast. Along the way, you'll encounter small harbours, local craftspeople and beautiful views across the Kattegat. Today's destination is Falkenberg, one of Halland's oldest towns, where you can explore the charming town centre and enjoy a relaxing evening.

Today, you'll continue south along one of the most beautiful stretches of Halland's coastline. Leaving Falkenberg, you'll cycle past the popular Skrea Beach and through the scenic Grimsholmen area, where open coastal landscapes and lovely sea views await. Continue towards the small seaside village of Ugglarp, known for its vegetable farms and beautiful swimming spots. The landscape alternates between open farmland, lush nature reserves and rocky stretches of coastline.
Further south, you'll reach Steninge, where the beautiful rocky coastline and relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal place for a break. Here, you can visit a local glass workshop or simply settle down for something to eat or drink. Continue past the historic windmill in Särdal, where you'll find both a café and a farm shop. As you approach Halmstad, you'll pass Tylösand, one of Sweden's most famous sandy beaches, known for its long stretch of white sand and iconic hotel. Stop for a swim or a stroll along the beach before cycling onwards to Halmstad, where today's stage comes to an end.
Category B hotel (example): Hotel Continental Relax & Spa
Category A hotel (example): Grand Halmstad
Today's cycling stage is one of the longest of the tour, combining long, flat coastal stretches with more challenging hilly terrain. Leaving Halmstad, you'll cycle south along beautiful Laholm Bay, where kilometres of sandy beaches and soft dunes stretch along the coastline. Pass through the scenic Gullbranna and Tönnersa nature reserves, known for their coastal habitats, rich birdlife and varied vegetation. Continue through the popular seaside resorts of Mellbystrand and Skummeslövsstrand before reaching Båstad, a charming summer destination with beautiful beaches and a long tennis tradition.
From Båstad, you'll leave the coast and climb through the beautiful Sinarpsdalen valley and the rolling farmland of the Bjäre Peninsula. You'll encounter several climbs, rewarded by lovely views across open fields, small farms and green hills. When you reach Ängelbäcksstrand, you'll return to the sea and follow the coastline through small fishing villages and charming communities. It's well worth stopping at Magnarp Harbour, where you can enjoy the sea views and perhaps have something to eat at the local fish restaurant. The final part of today's stage takes you onwards to Ängelholm, where you can relax after a rewarding day of cycling.

Category A hotel (example): Hotel Hus 57
After breakfast, leave Ängelholm and cycle south through the scenic landscapes of the Kulla Peninsula. Along the way, you'll pass open fields, vineyards and small family-run farm shops, where you can discover local produce and specialities. Eventually, you'll reach Höganäs, known for its long pottery tradition and famous salt-glazed ceramics. Take the opportunity to visit one of the local pottery shops before continuing along the coast.
The route takes you through picturesque fishing villages and small harbours such as Viken and Domsten, where traditional houses and charming harbour settings characterise the landscape. As you approach Helsingborg, you'll pass Sofiero Palace and its famous gardens. It's well worth stopping to explore the colourful parkland and enjoy the beautiful views across the Öresund Strait. The final part of today's stage follows the seafront promenade into Helsingborg, where you can celebrate the end of your cycling holiday with a stroll through the historic city centre or a delicious dinner by the harbour.

After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to Helsingborg and Sweden's beautiful west coast. Your cycling holiday along the Kattegat Cycle Route has come to an end after six days filled with sea views, charming fishing villages, historic coastal towns and wonderful natural scenery.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.
Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.
The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.
The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.
This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
