From Ängelholm, follow the coast to Vejbystrand, then leave the coast behind and cycle across the peninsula and through the Sinarpsdalen valley to the beautiful summer town of Båstad. A historic seaside resort where, as early as 1830, city dwellers from Lund and Malmö would retreat for a summer getaway.
Day 5: Båstad – Halmstad, approx. 40 km
Along one of Sweden’s longest sandy beaches, you’ll pass through the towns of Skummeslövsstrand and Mellbystrand and cycle through the Tönnrersa and Gullbranna nature reserves before arriving in Halmstad.

Day 6: Halmstad – Falkenberg, approx. 60 km
Today the most famous beach in Sweden awaits you: Tylösand. But not only this, but also the hotel of the same name is worth a visit. Your route takes you further north along the coast. The sea, open landscapes, exciting nature reserves and lush farmland lie along the way. You will pass Ugglarp, a small coastal community with its famous vegetable gardens and beautiful seaside resort. Today’s route takes you via Grimsholmen to Falkenberg, one of the oldest towns in the province of Halland.
