The route
The Kattegat Cycle Route follows Sweden's west coast from Helsingborg to Gothenburg 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 terrain, particularly across the Bjäre Peninsula, where you'll encounter some longer and steeper climbs. 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 Helsingborg, a charming coastal city on the Öresund Strait 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. Helsingborg has a long and fascinating history, which is still reflected in its beautiful buildings and historic neighbourhoods.
Take a stroll through the city centre and visit Kärnan, the medieval defensive tower offering wonderful views across Helsingborg and the Öresund Strait. You can also explore the historic St Mary's Church, walk along the seafront promenade or relax at one of the city's many cafés. Round off the day with a delicious dinner before your cycling adventure begins the following morning.

Today, your cycling adventure along the Kattegat Cycle Route begins! Leaving Helsingborg, you'll follow the beautiful seafront promenade northwards, passing Sofiero Palace and its famous gardens. It's well worth stopping here to explore the lush parkland, colourful flowerbeds and wonderful views across the Öresund Strait. Continue along the coast through charming fishing villages and small harbours such as Domsten and Viken, where traditional houses and picturesque harbours create an authentic atmosphere typical of the Skåne coastline.
When you reach Höganäs, you'll have the opportunity to discover the town's famous pottery tradition and perhaps visit some of the local ceramic shops. From here, continue across the scenic Kulla Peninsula, where the landscape is characterised by open fields, vineyards and small family-run farm shops. There are plenty of opportunities to stop for a coffee or sample local specialities. Today's cycling stage ends in Ängelholm, a welcoming town close to the sea, with a charming centre and inviting restaurants.

Today's stage is one of the longest of the tour, taking you through varied landscapes with both coastal cycling and more challenging hilly sections. Leaving Ängelholm, follow the coastline north towards Vejbystrand, passing open coastal meadows and charming seaside villages. Along the way, you can stop at Magnarp Harbour, where a welcoming fish restaurant offers beautiful views across Skälderviken Bay.
At Ängelbäcksstrand, you'll leave the coast and cycle across the scenic Bjäre Peninsula. Here, you'll encounter several climbs that gradually become steeper, rewarded by beautiful views across the rolling countryside. The route passes through Sinarpsdalen and continues past small farms and open fields before reaching Båstad, a popular summer resort known for its beautiful beaches and long tennis tradition.
From Båstad, continue north along Laholm Bay and one of Sweden's longest continuous stretches of sandy beach. You'll pass the seaside resorts of Skummeslövsstrand and Mellbystrand, where the wide beaches are perfect for a break by the sea. The final part of the stage takes you through the beautiful Tönnersa and Gullbranna nature reserves, where sand dunes, coastal forests and abundant birdlife characterise the landscape. Eventually, you'll arrive in Halmstad, where you can relax after an eventful day of cycling.

Along the way, you'll pass the historic windmill in Särdal, where you'll find both a café and a farm shop. Continue towards Steninge, known for its beautiful rocky coastline and relaxed atmosphere.

Shortly before reaching Falkenberg, you'll pass the popular Skrea Beach, where you can enjoy some time by the sea before arriving at today's destination.

Along the way, you'll pass Glommen, where the traditional fishing harbour and small houses create an authentic west coast atmosphere.
A little further north, you'll reach Träslövsläge, known locally as Läjet. Here, you can stroll through charming narrow streets lined with well-preserved wooden houses and experience the atmosphere of the old fishing village. Take the opportunity to sample fresh seafood or enjoy a coffee by the harbour. As you approach Varberg, you'll follow the beautiful seafront promenade, where the impressive medieval fortress rises above the sea. If time allows, you can visit the fortress and see the famous Bocksten Man, a remarkable archaeological discovery from the Middle Ages.

Category A hotel (example): Varbergs Stadshotell
Today's cycling stage takes you further north through the varied coastal landscapes of Halland. As you leave Varberg, the scenery gradually changes, with long sandy beaches becoming less frequent and giving way to rocky stretches of coastline and small islands offshore. The landscape becomes increasingly varied, with open fields, wooded areas and small coastal communities offering plenty of opportunities for breaks along the way.
Continue through the Halland countryside, where farmland, horse farms and rolling hills characterise the surroundings. The route offers a lovely combination of coastal scenery and peaceful rural landscapes before you eventually reach Kungsbacka. This welcoming town has a charming historic centre with wooden houses, shops and cosy restaurants. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing evening after today's cycling.

Category A hotel (example): Hotel Halland
Your final cycling day begins as you leave Kungsbacka and head west towards the sea. The route takes you through the green countryside around Vallda and onwards to Särö, once a popular summer retreat for royalty and Gothenburg's high society. The area is still known for its beautiful villas, leafy surroundings and idyllic coastal setting.
After Särö, you'll follow a former railway line that has been transformed into a pleasant cycle path. Between Billdal and Askim, the route runs close to the sea, offering beautiful scenery with rocky shores, sheltered bays, small marinas and lush forests. You'll also pass the scenic surroundings of Stora Amundön before continuing towards Gothenburg. As you approach the city centre, cycle past Nya Varvet and Röda Sten, where the former industrial area is now known for its contemporary art centre and creative atmosphere. Finally, you'll arrive in central Gothenburg, where you can celebrate the end of your cycling holiday with a delicious dinner and perhaps a stroll through the city's lively neighbourhoods.

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.
