After our stay in Switzerland for the COVID-19 vaccination, we travelled to Sweden to hike the High Coast Trail. I didn't have the laptop with me because we travelled with ultra lightweight gear. That’s why I didn’t update this blog during our stay. But now, we are back in Switzerland again and I am able to write about our experiences. The High Coast Trail The High Coast area is located at the coast of the Baltic Sea and is an UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring the highest coastline in the world at approximately 286 metres above sea level. Due to a geological process called post-glacial land uplift – occurring since the most recent ice age – the land continues to rise at a rate of approximately 8 millimetres per year. The 130 km long High Coast Trail goes through the entire world heritage site from Hornöberget in the south to Örnsköldsvik in the north and crosses the nationalpark Skuleskogen. The trail offers a unique mix of coastal landscape, forests with rich flora and fauna, rocky shorelines, astonishing viewpoints and long sandy beaches. For more informations about the area and the trail you can visit Hike The High Coast Trail through the world heritage site | Höga Kusten (hogakusten.com). To expand our trail, we added some sections of the Världarvsleden in the same region. In total, we hiked more than 200 km in this area. It was a very nice hike, not least due to the generally dry weather we met ;-). We can really recommend visiting the High Coast.
