Morups Tånge

Morups Tånge is a nature reserve along the Kattegat coast near Glommen, featuring sandy beaches, rocky outcrops, and a wide range of bird species living in their natural setting. The area offers walking trails and viewing points where visitors can experience the coastal landscape and its wildlife firsthand.

The reserve received protected status in 1946 following recognition of its environmental value and the presence of a lighthouse from 1843. This decision reflected a growing awareness of the need to preserve natural coastal areas.

The Glomstenen boulder displays scientific markings from past researchers who tracked coastal changes, showing how people have studied and valued this landscape over time. Locals and visitors recognize this stone as a reminder of human curiosity about nature.

You can reach the reserve on foot or by bicycle from Glommen via marked paths, or by following the Kattegattleden cycling route between Falkenberg and Varberg. Wear sturdy shoes and check tide and weather conditions before visiting, especially if you plan to explore the beach and rocky areas.

The reserve demonstrates the Fennoscandian land uplift phenomenon, where the ground gradually rises each year and reshapes the coastline. Visitors can observe this rare geological process through scientific markings on the Glomstenen boulder itself.
