The southern entrance is without a doubt the most used. From here it is close to Skuleskogen's biggest attraction, Slåttdalsskrevan.Once at the crevice, you can take a coffee break or a dip by the idyllic Tärnättvattnen or hike up to Slåttdalsberget for one of the High Coast's most beautiful views.

This fortress is a well preserved military installation that was built by the Swedes during the Cold War era and only closed in the early 1990s. Above ground, there are lots of pieces of military weaponry - guns, tanks, etc, as well as a restaurant that is open at lunchtime. Below ground, a guided tour takes you through what could be a functioning city today, complete with a small hospital, shop, sleeping quarters, office areas, dining room and intelligence offices. It's a really cool place to visit and reminds us about the seriousness of the Cold War era and what it meant for Sweden. It's a bit out of the way, being in northern Sweden, but if you happen to be around the Härnsand area, worth a visit.

Nice place for a walk, where you also can learn about history, see some animals (pigs, hens, sheeps) or just follow one of the paths in the forest (not for trolleys!) Wonderful view from the observation tower over Sundsvall city and the bay. There are places for a picknick (benches in the forest and grass for a picknick filt) and playground for kids.

Well! What a beautiful spot this is for hiking. Lakes, crevices, bathing spots, amazing views and well organised spots for lighting fires and shacks for overnighting. I can understand why it is so popular. We entered at the north entrance and hiked to the Tärnättholmarna the up to Tärnättsvatten and the high coast trail back to the northern entry. We took it easy and this hike is about 3-4 hours walking but stopping and so it took approximately 6 hours.

The shopping mall itself is basically similar to the most European shopping malls. You can get everything you need there. In the birsta city itself are shops for smartphones, restaurants, clothing stores, a bookstore, etc. Around the shopping mall are the bigger stores like media market and IKEA. Going by bus is easy possible from the bus station of Sundsvall.

Mannaminne opens 2 May 2020. Mannaminne is created by the Swedish artist Anders Åberg (1945-2018) ant it is a unique place where over 50 buildings welcome everybody to a meeting between nature and culture, art and technique, history and future, locally and globally, tiny to big things. You walk between an agriculture museum, art museums, a Chinese pavilion, tubewagon and trams, houses from Hungary, Estonia and Norway, a coastal museum, a traditional Norwegian church, a giant handmaid terrestrial globe in a house of its own, an accordion museum, a technique house with lots of vehicles, a Draken Swedish aerofighter, an open roasting-house for coffee, a tow-boat from the river of Ångermanälven and much, much more. Mannaminne is enchantingly situated in the village of Häggvik in Nordingrå and is one of the most visited spots in the World Heritage Höga Kusten.
