Skuleberget, Mountain summit and nature reserve in Docksta, Sweden

Skuleberget is a mountain on the west side of the E4 motorway a few kilometres north of Docksta in Kramfors municipality. Its eastern face drops almost vertically toward the highway, while the summit, 295 metres above the nearby sea, is till-capped with sediment and spruce. Paths and Via Ferrata routes start beside the Naturum Höga Kusten centre at old Riksväg 13.

The area emerged from beneath glacial ice roughly 10,500 years ago when the great ice sheet melted away. The land has continued rising ever since, reshaping the relationship between mountain and sea.

The cave is called Kungsgrottan, King's Cave, but also Skulegrottan and Rövargrottan, Robber's Cave. According to the Nordic Museum's folk memory archive, robbers came by sea in the 17th century and took refuge there after conflicts with locals. It is a shallow recess a few metres wide, visible from the road as a dark patch on the cliff.

The Via Ferrata climbing routes and the paths up the mountain start beside the Naturum Höga Kusten centre on old Riksväg 13. The chairlift, with a fixed four-seater installed in 2021, also runs in summer for pedestrians. The route to the Kungsgrottan entrance is very hard to reach, though stairs and fixed ladders now help.

The blue light visible on part of the mountain marks the highest post-glacial coastline, which stood 286 metres above today's sea level. The summit is also one of the few till-capped mountains in the High Coast, with a layer of sediment and spruce on top.
