Etapp 7, Kattegattleden. Varberg – Kungsbacka

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 seventh stage starts in Varberg. North of the city, the landscape begins to transform magically from soft sandy beaches to rugged cliffs. Here the trail takes you past Bua harbour and through Frillesås to the beach in Åsa, which is perfect place to stop for an ice cream. Here you can make a detour to Tjolöholm's castle which is Sweden's only castle built in the Tudor style. Or visit the Fjäräs Bräcka nature reserve where you can take in the beautiful landscape and get mesmerised by the fantastic views of the Kattegat and Lake Lygnern. Back on the trail, you cycle through a sprawling open landscape before you reach Kungsbacka
