STAGE 6 Falkenberg – Varberg

After Falkenberg you keep going along a coastal stretch that really personifies the expression “open country”. Here, you can stop off at lesser-known bathing spots such as Stafsinge strand or enjoy more vibrant beaches such as Olofsbo, Björkäng and Apelviken. Perfect when you need to replenish your energy with some ice cream or a meal. Make short stops along the path and enjoy the untouched

nature – there is a wealth of bird life and several nature reserves. Make a detour to Morups Tånge (follow the signs for Fyrleden), with its impressive lighthouse that has spread its light over the sea since 1843. On the way you’ll also pass several cosy fishing villages and marinas such as Lövstaviken, Glommen and Träslövsläge, all well worth a visit.

As you near Varberg, you’ll pass Apelviken, a beach that attracts masses of windsurfers from all over Europe. The path takes you on to Strandpromenaden and past Varberg Fortress before you reach Varberg harbour, with its open-air baths and Societetspark.
