The High Coast

WELCOME TO
The High Coast
It's no coincidence that the number of
people visiting the High Coast increases
consistently.
For nature and tranquillity.
For culture and the people .
For events and adventure .
Perhaps for good.
You are also welcome .
Nature
The High Coast exhibits extreme natural variation. Nowhere
else in Europe can you find so many kinds of rock formation
in such a small area, and the display of flora is equally
magnificent. Hill and inland plants mix gladly with coastal
vegetation, and the species' latitudinal growth limits freely
overlap one another.
Culture
Many artists, writers and composers have been inspired by
the special light and the equally special landscape. There are
many exhibitions and other cultural experiences to indulge
in here in the summer, as well as concerts featuring both
traditional and less traditional music.
Food
Fermented Baltic herring (surströmming) is considered a local
yet national dish; its fragrance generally divides people into
two camps - haters and lovers. The 'surströmming' premiere
traditionally takes place on the third Thursday in August.
