Kullaberg, Ridge and mine shaft in Höganäs Municipality, Sweden
Kullaberg is a peninsula and former mining site with steep cliffs rising up to 70 meters from the water and reaching 188 meters at Håkull point. The area is crossed by several hiking trails, including a red southern route, a blue northern route, and an orange coastal path.
Copper and alum were mined for centuries in quarries and shafts, shaping the region's economic development. This mining industry is long gone, but left deep marks in the landscape that remain visible today.
The area has been inhabited since ancient times, with visible stone circles and burial mounds scattered across the peninsula. Visitors today use the trails to experience these remnants alongside the natural landscape.
Access is via a paved road from Mölle to a car park near the lighthouse, where the hiking trails begin. The routes vary in difficulty, offering different amounts of rock scrambling depending on which path you choose.
More than 20 caves pierce the limestone and contain archaeological finds from different periods. These underground spaces offer a rare glimpse into how people have occupied this area over thousands of years.
