The High Coast is a protected area worldwide, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The landscape has been formed by 10.000 years of land uplift, following the last Ice Age. It is characterized by islands, deep inlets and lakes, valleys, steep hillsides and mountains.

Land uplift, brackish water environments, sea level fluctuations, and a lack of tide are features of the High Coast: a unique example of ongoing geological and biological processes and ecosystem development in time and space.

Stunning coastlines, nature reserves, bird sanctuaries and a national park are probably the greatest attraction for people who reach this area of the Baltic Sea. This provides sailors with interesting and stimulating experiences of outdoors of great natural beauty.

HIGH COAST SAILOR'S TIPS:

• • To mix sailing & hiking (add to your sailing bag a good pair of hiking shoes and a small backpack with a water reserve).

• • Explore the more internal coast to step out onto a collection of places and coastline, much of is wonderful.

Sea, wind, the Nature and the marine fauna are the real protagonists of unforgettable sailing days, both if you are a day cruiser or a long distance sailor.

The High Coast waters are mainly deep and the navigation is always very quiet. This allow you to cruise the beautiful coastlines, islands, bays and fjords safely. You will appreciate to sail being surrounded by the mountains and forests that embrace the seashore.

Natural moorings and harbours are never crowded even during the "high" season (July). It's common to navigate "alone" along the coast, happy to meet only a few boats.

If we take the weather out of the equation and get to understand that we could go to the sea even late of May or middle of September, instead of just four/five weeks during the Summer, we'll discover there is always something we can do on our boat, so... make time to explore!

For example, by leaving your mooring at Ulvön, Bönhamn, or Mjälton and heading your boat to the entrance of the Ullångersfjärden, you can enjoy the spectacular cruising to the village of Docksta, between Mjällomslandet and Värnsudden/Valabergen.

Entering the Dockstafjärden, you have from the water stunning views of three of the most beautiful peaks in the High Coast: Vårdkallberget (264m), Fäberget (197 m), and Skuleberget (295m).

Then, at the end of the fjord, you reach the moorings of the guest harbor in Docksta, which is close to the Skuleberget and the Skuleskogens National Park.

With your boat moored at the marina, that provides a perfect waterside base to Baltic Sea cruisers, you will easy access stunning outdoors in the area of Skule and facilities and commercial shops in Docksta.

HIGH COAST SAILOR'S TIPS:

• A walk discovering Skuleberget is always spectacular (you can easily reach the top with a chair lift, too) and there are several great paths to hike or biking from the the guest harbour.

• Seasonally in the area of Docksta, you find opportunities & events - outdoors, music, sport, culture, food - to engage your crew.

• A super-stocked and friendly SUPERMARKET (ICA Nära Dockstahallen), really close to the seaside (300 mt from the guest harbour) and open:
