Illustrative image - a scene in the spirit of the place, not a photograph of it. Real photos are below.
Kullaberg is a rugged nature reserve on a rocky headland thrusting into the Kattegat at the north-west corner of Skane, a dramatic contrast to the flat farmland behind. Its cliffs, sea caves and lighthouse draw walkers and climbers, and boat trips from the old resort village of Molle go out to watch harbour porpoises.
What you actually see
- The cliffs and lighthouse - the rocky headland tip with its lighthouse and views.
- Sea caves - the grottoes worn into the coast, reached by trail or boat.
- Porpoise-watching - boat trips seeking the harbour porpoises offshore.
- Molle village - the pretty old bathing resort at the foot of the hill.
When to go
The warm months for walking, climbing and boat trips; a clear day for the sea views. Weekends draw crowds from the cities, so weekdays are calmer.
Honest expectations
It is a modest headland reserve rather than a grand wilderness, its appeal the contrast of rock and sea against the Skane farmland. Trails are rocky and the cliffs demand care. It is popular on fine weekends, so parking fills.
Nearby
Molle and the Skane coast are at its foot; Helsingborg and the crossing to Denmark are nearby.
