THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HIGH COAST
The High Coast is considered one of Sweden’s most beautiful natural areas, and during the races, you will run, jog, and fast hike through its absolute highlights. Welcome to a unique combination of coastal mountains, deep forests, and a shimmering coastline.
COASTAL MOUNTAINS
Sweden’s most beautiful views! Stampberget (HKT), Slåttdalsberget (HKT/HKTP), and Skuleberget (HKT/HKTP) offer you expansive views over the World Heritage Site.
DEEP FORESTS
Cobblestones, roots, and duckboards. Some call it ’High Coast Terrain’, others use swear words – but one thing everyone agrees on – it’s stunningly beautiful!
SHIMMERING COASTLINE
Both HKT and HKTP follow the coast. HKT also ventures out to round the polished cliffs of Tärnättholmarna at the outermost edge of Skuleskogen National Park.
Up at the summit, 294 meters above sea level, all sweat and regret are forgotten, as if they had never existed. It’s not just the wind that dries the sweat beads, but also the unbelievably beautiful view in every direction. The bays cut into the landscape. Blue water meets green mountains which meet the blue sky. I stand on the world’s highest marine coastline and the expansive view is indescribable and much more beautiful than I could have imagined. At that moment, I can’t help but wonder why I hadn’t visited the High Coast earlier.
