Discover Kullaberg.
Sea cliffs and caves, harbor villages, vineyards and some of the finest coastal walks in Sweden — all on one small peninsula.
Welcome
Welcome to Kullaberg
At the north-west tip of Skåne, a forested ridge rises straight out of the sea. Around it lie wooden harbor villages, sandy beaches and quiet farm roads. Find things to do, the places worth seeking out, the villages to base yourself in, and somewhere to stay.
It's an easy hour from Copenhagen and half an hour from Helsingborg, yet it feels a world away — come for a weekend, stay for the light.

Food & wine
Sweden's Tuscany
Sometimes called "Sweden's Tuscany", the Kulla Peninsula has rolling fields, long light summer evenings and some of Sweden's largest vineyards. Book a tasting among the vines at Arild, Nyhamnsläge or Allerum, stay for a long lunch, then wander on to farm shops and harbor villages.
Hiking
Trails above the sea
Kullaberg is made for walking. Paths wind through beech forest and juniper heath to cliff tops high above the sea, down stone steps to pebble coves and caves, and out to the lighthouse at the very tip. Walk a short loop from the lighthouse, climb Håkull, Kullaberg's highest point, or follow Kullaleden right around the peninsula from village to village.
Camping
Sleep by the sea
Fall asleep to the sound of the sea and wake up with Kullaberg on your doorstep. Pitch a tent at a beachside campsite, rent a cabin near Mölle, or carry a sleeping bag along Kullaleden to a wooden trail shelter. Summer evenings stay light until late, and the sunsets over the water on the west-facing coast are worth staying up for.

Plan your visit
The practical bits — getting here, getting around and when to come.
Getting there
- By car — Höganäs is 25 minutes from Helsingborg, Mölle about 40. Leave the E6 at exit 30 (road 111) from the south or exit 33 (road 112) from the north.
- From Copenhagen — about 1 hour 40 minutes via the Øresund Bridge, or take the 20-minute Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry.
- By train — Öresundståg to Helsingborg C from Copenhagen Airport (about 70 minutes) or Malmö (about 40).
- By bus — SkåneExpressen 11 or bus 220 from Helsingborg C to Höganäs (35–40 minutes), then bus 222 to Mölle.
- By air — Copenhagen Airport or Ängelholm–Helsingborg Airport.
Getting around
Most local buses start from Höganäs Busstorget; service thins out toward the outer villages.
- Bus — 222 runs Höganäs–Nyhamnsläge–Mölle, 223 links Nyhamnsläge, Arild and Jonstorp, and in summer 202 climbs from Mölle to Kullen Lighthouse. Summer routes change from year to year, so check the Skånetrafiken app, which also sells tickets.
- Bike — a cycle path largely follows the old railway line from Höganäs to Mölle; Kullaberg itself is hilly.
- On foot — Kullaleden, a 70 km section of the Skåneleden trail (SL5), runs around the peninsula from Helsingborg to Utvälinge.
- Car — there is no entry fee or road toll; parking in Kullaberg nature reserve is free but only in marked spaces, and lots fill up in summer.
When to visit
Summer is peak season: July is the warmest month and the villages are at their liveliest. The sea is often warmest in August; in mid-July the surface water is normally around 18–19 °C.
- June–August — summer bus to Kullen Lighthouse, naturum open daily in July and August, harbor cafés in full swing.
- May and September — fewer visitors and mild walking weather.
- Autumn — strong westerly winds drive seabirds past Kullen, and farms and vineyards bring in the harvest.
- Winter — quiet and windswept; several cafés and attractions open only in summer.
Visiting Kullaberg nature reserve
The reserve is managed by Länsstyrelsen Skåne. Its sea cliffs are over 60 m high in places: stay on the paths and take care in caves and ravines.
- Keep dogs on a leash all year.
- Grill only at the fixed barbecue sites, never during a fire ban, and pitch tents only at the tent site by the main car park.
- Don't pick flowers or disturb wildlife.
- From March 1 to July 15, two bird-protection areas on the north coast are closed on land and at sea, climbing routes included.
- Park only in marked spaces.
Good to know
- Payment — cards and phone payments are accepted almost everywhere, and cash is rarely used. Swish, the Swedish mobile payment app, is very common.
- Right of public access — allemansrätten lets you roam freely in nature as long as you don't disturb or damage, but nature reserves have stricter rules.
- Emergencies — call 112; for medical advice, call 1177.
- Supplies — Höganäs has supermarkets and pharmacies; Mölle and Arild have no grocery store.
- Ticks — common in grass and woods; check yourself after walks.
