Etapp 4, Kattegattleden Båstad – Laholm – Halmstad

The Kattegattleden runs along the coast and is Sweden's first national cycle path. It is divided into 8 stages – all of them running along the coast. The fourth stage starts in Båstad. From the harbour you trace your way along the coastline until you cross the border between Skåne and Halland. Here you reach Laholmsbukten, a beautiful sandy beach. Take a break to enjoy the open landscape and a sparkling sea. The adventure-packed ride takes you further from Skummeslövsstrand to the seaside resort of Mellbystrand. Stop here for an ice cream in the sun or a snack break at the beachside outdoor seating area. Then continue past a beech forest, beautiful dunes and exciting nature reserves, before you hit the open agricultural landscape south of Halmstad. On your way to Halmstad, you’ll come to Östra Beach with mini golf courses, pizzerias and outdoor seating. Visit kattegattleden.se for more information and a map of the trail.
