EntryFree

Bjuroklubb sticks out into the Bothnian Bay east of Skelleftea, a nose of granite that the ice ground smooth and the sea has worked since - rounded slabs, boulder beaches and Djupklyftan, a narrow cleft cut into the rock that you can climb down into. The lighthouse of 1859 stands at the point with keeper's buildings around it, now partly a cafe and hostel in season. There are Bronze Age cairns on the high ground and a labyrinth cut in the stones. The land is rising here at several millimetres a year, so the shoreline is younger than it looks. Paths run over the headland and along the shore.

What you actually see

  • Ice-worn granite slabs - and boulder beaches around them.
  • Djupklyftan - a deep cleft you can climb into.
  • A lighthouse of 1859 - with keeper's buildings.
  • Bronze Age cairns and a stone labyrinth - on the high ground.

When to go

June to September. Half a day.

Honest expectations

The rock is uneven and slippery when wet. Facilities are seasonal and small. Wind off the bay is constant. It is a long detour off the E4.

Nearby

Skelleftea is west; the Bothnian coast runs north and south.
