UNESCO World Heritage
Skuleskogen sits on the High Coast, where the land has risen about eight hundred metres since the ice left - the largest such rebound measured anywhere, which is why the area is on the World Heritage list. The park covers around thirty square kilometres of hills running straight down to the Bothnian sea, with old spruce and pine, boulder fields left as raised beaches at every former shoreline, and coves at the bottom. Slattdalsskrevan is the set piece: a crevice about two hundred metres long, seven wide and twenty-five deep cut straight through the rock, walkable along the bottom. Trails are steep and rocky throughout.
What you actually see
- Slattdalsskrevan - a crevice seven metres wide and twenty-five deep.
- Raised beaches up the slopes - old shorelines left by rebound.
- Hills dropping straight to the sea - with coves at the foot.
- Old spruce and pine - across the interior.
When to go
June to September. A full day.
Honest expectations
Trails involve serious climbing - this is not gentle walking. Mosquitoes are heavy in early summer. Entrances are far apart and connect only on foot. Weather off the sea changes fast.

Skuleberget is south; Ulvon and Trysunda are offshore.
