Etapp 5, Kattegattleden. Halmstad – Falkenberg

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 fifth stage starts in Halmstad. You pass Halmstad Castle and on the other side is Stora torg, which offers superb shopping options, outdoor cafes, restaurants, and quaint old town streets. Here you’ll also find Felds Socker & Cyckel, a wonderful bicycle café. From central Halmstad you cycle west towards the Tylösand, the west coast’s most popular beach. Continue further along several other beautiful sandy beaches. Stop for a cool, refreshing dip at Frösakull, Ringenäs or Villshärad. Keep going past picturesque Steninge and on towards Ugglarps beach. Then go inland for a bit, before the coast magically appears again at the popular Skrea beach just outside Falkenberg.
