Welcome to Helsingborg! Experience the city's charm and visit the unique core with the only remaining building from the medieval Helsingborg Castle. Enjoy a walk along the sea or visit Dunkers Cultural Centre. Take a trip to Denmark, just 20 minutes away by boat to Helsingør. There, you can visit Kronborg Castle, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. It was here that William Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet took place.
Cycle north and visit Sofiero Castle and its castle garden with more than 10,000 rhododendron bushes blooming between May and June. Other gems along the way are the picturesque fishing villages of Domsten and Viken. Experience the grand landscape on the dramatic Kullahalvön peninsula. Rönne River meanders through the 500-year-old town of Ängelholm. Get up close and personal with the sightseeing boat Laxen. You can also paddle or fish here.

After a delicious breakfast, it's time to continue the bike tour towards Båstad. You will experience many sights along the way. This part of the Kattegattleden is slightly more hilly, so take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful views of the sea!
After breakfast, you head towards the day's destination, Halmstad, a picturesque miniature metropolis bustling with life. You cycle along the long sandy beach of Laholm Bay and can stop for lunch or a snack in Skummeslövsstrand. A short distance from the Kattegattleden lies the beautiful Skottorp Castle and the cozy Laholm, the oldest city in Halland. Next, you arrive at Mellbystrand, a classic seaside resort with a 12-kilometer-long sandy beach.
Day 3 - Båstad-Halmstad

Next, you arrive at Mellbystrand, a classic seaside resort with a 12-kilometer-long sandy beach.
On your way to Halmstad, you can make a detour to the Påarp burial ground, Halland's largest burial ground with around 200 burial cairns and 50 stone settlements from the early Iron Age. Don't miss visiting the 17th century Halmstad Castle, which was built during the time when Halmstad and Halland were Danish. The castle has a very beautiful park, and you can join a guided tour. Accommodation is at Elite Hotel Mårtenson in Halmstad.

Hotel Hamngatan 27, Falkenberg
Breakfast
57 km
The day starts with breakfast at the hotel, and then you cycle west towards Tylösand, Frösakull, Ringenäs and Vilshärad. At the windmill in Särdal there is a cozy café and a farm shop that is worth a stop. After that, you then cycle on towards Ugglarp. Here we recommend making a detour to Svedino's Car & Air Museum, which has an impressive collection of about 100 old cars and 40 airplanes.
Then, you cycle inland through a rolling agricultural landscape.

Breakfast
40 km

Today, you will cycle towards Varberg, through open landscapes with untouched nature and past popular beaches like Olofsbo, Björkäng, and Apelviken. There is a good selection if you want to grab an ice cream or eat a meal. If you prefer less well-known swimming spots, we recommend Stafsinge beach or Petters brygga.
Along the way, there is a rich bird life, several nature reserves, and picturesque fishing villages like Lövstaviken, Glommen, and Träslövsläge. You can stop at charming small farm shops and visit artisan craftsmen. Apelviken is a well-known paradise for windsurfers.
You continue cycling towards Varberg's harbor with its cold bathhouse and societypark. Here, you can see Varberg's fortress towering up. If you still have energy left, you can cycle all the way up and enjoy the spectacular view. This night's accommodation takes place at the Clarion Collection Hotel Fregatten in Varberg.

Guesthouse Frillesberg, Frillesås
Breakfast
45 km
After breakfast, you continue north towards today's destination, which is Frillesås in Halland. North of Varberg, you will notice the landscape changing. The sandy beaches become fewer, and instead, the majestic cliffs typical of the Bohuslän coast spread out.
You continue cycling through small communities and urban environments. Through Frillesås, you share the road with cars, which requires normal attention. In the fishing village of Bua harbor, you can sample the delicacies of the sea. Accommodation takes place at Pensionat Frillesberg in Frillesås, an authentic guesthouse from 1938 with a restaurant, outdoor seating, and a cozy pub in the basement.

We recommend a detour to Tjolöholm Castle, the premier Arts and Crafts facility in the Nordic countries and Sweden's only castle in the Tudor style. Stop at Rolfsbron in Hanhals, a beautiful stone arch bridge from the 17th century. Accommodation takes place at Gottskär Hotel, with a view of the sea.
Day 8 - Gottskär-Gothenburg
Breakfast

July 2025•Piyush P.★4.7
This was an absolutely amazing tour. Everything went smoothly, the weather was fantastic, and the bike path was second to none! Martin and Monika are the best - so helpful to get our route figured out given we were riding with our 10-yr old. He loved it too. The hotels were spectacular esp the Ringenas Golf Course, the Ocean hotel, and the Arilds Vineyard. The hotels at Vegbystrand and Melbystrand were ok. Food at the Melbystrand was good though and they had laundry. And the only issue my son had was with his bike - but we managed just fine. Overall incredible tour. Can't wait to return and do another one with you guys.
July 2025•Paul W.★4.5
Wonderful picturesque route, excellent cycling tracks. Truly outstanding helpfulness from all the organizing staff, really appreciated. ebikes were good, though perhaps slightly lacking on power for the steepest hills. One overnight pension was noisy (unsupervised kids running past the room during the night), though there was a great breakfast. Otherwise all the accommodation chosen for us was a very nice mixture of different styles. We felt very well cared for and enjoyed all aspects of this vacation.
June 2025•Todd Y.★5.0
Everything was great. Martin was especially helpful. He picked me up from the airport and took me to the bike shop and then met me at the hotel the last night to retrieve the bike. The accommodations were varied and nice. The biking itself was wonderful and they even customized by trip to go more miles in fewer days.
August 2024•Tanja R.★3.7
The path is nice, but I think too many stretches are too close to car traffic. The official information (advertisement) of the Kattegatleden unfortunately does not mention this at all. This would be very helpful to make some individual decisions on detours.
August 2024•Jørn-Erik Jacobsen★5.0
Very well arranged, everything worked perfectly all the way. Lovely and "homey" accommodations, but also great hotels. The cycling worked perfectly all the way, we are happy with our electric bikes since we got a lot of headwind. Highly recommend this trip.
August 2024•Úlf H.★4.3
Sometimes far between signs, cycled wrong a couple of times. It would be good if the location of accommodation was indicated on the accommodation voucher In Falkenberg we discovered that Kvarnens pensionat was far ahead of do. Clumsy of us but human.
