Josefinelust is a ravine that drops to a small cove on the north side of Kullaberg, framed by cliffs and wind-bent trees. It is named after Queen Josefina, who admired the view here in 1865; before that the cove was called Möllebäcksmalen.

From the Josefinelust car park a path leads to a viewpoint above the cove and a long flight of high stone steps. Both were laid out in the 1800s by Gustaf Elfverson, the innkeeper at Kullagården, to draw visitors.
