The Falkenberg-Varberg section is an easy-to-cycle part of the Kattegat Trail. Here you cycle through open landscapes and experience both untouched nature and popular beaches.

After Falkenberg, you roll on along a stretch of coast that really gives life to the expression "open landscape". Here you can stop at lesser known bathing places such as Stafsinge beach and Petter's jetty, or enjoy beaches with more life and movement such as Olofsbo, Björkäng and Apelviken. Perfect when you need to refill with ice cream or a piece of food.

Make small stops along the way - there is a rich bird life and several nature reserves. Also make a detour to Morups Tånge with the impressive lighthouse that has spread its light over the sea since 1843. On your way you will also pass several cozy fishing villages such as Lövstaviken, Glommen and Träslövsläge, all well worth a visit.

As you approach Varberg you pass Apelviken, the beach that attracts lots of windsurfers from all over Europe. The trail takes you on to Strandpromenaden and past Varbergs fortress before you reach Varbergs Hamn with Kallbadhus and Societetspark.
