Höga Kusten

The view from the "nipkrönen" is outstanding and you are able to look out over the river and its souroundings. One of Ådalens most beautiful places to visit!

The characteristic red cliff with Balestjärn's (tarn) crystal clear water is really a place from the fairytales. The nature here is similar to Skuleskogen; hilly terrain, varying from dark pine forests to more open mountain slopes of more than 150 m above sea level. Balesudden makes a perfect daytrip for the family or with friends.

Högklinten is a mountain with the worlds biggest cobblestone field. With 260 m. over the sea Högklinten gives you the perfect view over the sea, overlooking both Örnsköldsvik in the north and Härnösand in the south.

Cobble fields are continually being formed here. The red rapakivi granite rocks are typical of Höga Kusten. No less than twelve species of orchid have been identified in this nature reserve. Villmyran Nature Reserve is best known for the Norna and Skogsfru orchids that bloom there.

Visit Smitingen nature reserve with its spectacular geological formations, caves, moulin potholes and limestone pillars. The area is now classifed as a Natura 2000 area. Follow marked paths and visit exposed tunnel caves or take a dip from the cliffs of Klubbsjön. Walk the "geologist-path", it is fascinating to see how stones and rocks were sculpted into strange forms. The reserve includes the sea bath, Klubbsjön, Härnöklubb and the mountains southwest of the sea bath.
