Walking Festivals in Sweden

May 6-8 is the premiere of Varberg Walkabout - a new walking festival for the joy of movement, presence of nature and community, which premieres in Åkulla outside Varberg this spring. We invite you to a weekend of hiking, music, campfire, yoga, BBQ and nature experiences in the forest and by the sea.

Höga Kusten Hike is an adventure through Höga Kusten's Highlights and incomparable nature where you hike alone or in the company of others.
