 We then led from Haikoholik's side-to-hike, the Högekusteläde, translated as the Haikostrill. Located at the east coast of Sweden, this region has the world's highest coastline. The 130 kilometer long Haikostrill stretches through an entire world heritage site that shares its name. We are starting in Ernstjöldvik and ending in Horneberget. The trail is divided into 13 sections that are a unique mix of coast and forest with special areas like Skulliskoga National Park and Skullberget, where the ancient coastline is currently a total of almost 300 meters above sea level. We are hiking through deep forest and mountain top viewpoints, passing beautiful lakes that you only see in Sweden and sleeping in beautiful places along the way. Nowhere else in Sweden can you hike at this height so close to the sea. Welcome to the Högekustenleden. Welcome at the east coast of Sweden. Yes, right now we are in Ernstjöldvik and we are hiking the Haikostrill, the Högekustenleden. And well, before we start, we already want to apologize to all the Swedish viewers because we have absolutely no clue how our pronounces stream is made. Ernstjöldvik, we are going to hike from Ernstjöldvik to Horneberget. 130 kilometers on the Haikostrill. We are really excited, where the forecast is not that great actually. No, but we are just going to see and the trail is about to take like 5 till 7 days and yeah, let's go for it. Let's go. The Haikostrill contains 13 stages and right now we finished stage one that was only 5 kilometers. That is still Sweden. And from now we are in stage 2, from Sweden till Saint Logan. So somewhere in this second section we will find a place to camp. So slight change of plans. We originally wanted to camp here, but so far all the soil where we bought was completely drenched in water because the water levels are really high because it rained like crazy the last couple of days. So we actually walked by a little cabin for two people which was completely empty. So we are very happy. We are staying here tonight. There are two beds and there is a little sign that we think you have to flip. That you say occupied or not occupied but not bad for first night. Following a satisfying first day the mobile had come to think about the days ahead while getting ready to cook dinner in this charming hut. Delicious. Is it working? Yes, but a little bit too good. I already burned my mask my love. Saint Logan and we started this morning I think somewhere around here. So we already hiked 11 nish kilometers. And right now we are going to the nature reserve called Bale Suden. We are having a little lunch. Let us have a linsen. Lins? Lentel? Lentel. Linsen is it in Dutch so that you know guys. This morning the hike was not that beautiful actually. We had a very long road walk, road walk and road walk. I think it was about 10 or 11 kilometers of road walking. Yes and it is now 12 o'clock and now we are actually at a lake a beautiful spot. So it is supposed to be really beautiful from here. There is a village in about 7 kilometers where we can do some resupplies and from there we can look for a next camp spot. So we decided to switch to the GoPro because it is still pouring rain out here and it doesn't seem to stop unfortunately. No the whole sky is grey and we can see some shadows of hills far away. Far, far away. Yeah so I think we still have 6 kilometers to go to the next cabin and there should be a campsite as well. So yeah. We will see. We will see. We will see. Hi Kallex. Is this your campsite? Not yet. We made a little detour for some food because online we saw this burger and we were like ok let's go. Well deserved after a rainy day. We just had an amazing burger right? Oh my god it was even better than I looked on the photos on Google and the staff there are super super nice and we had like some Swedish lessons and now we are going to find a place to sleep. Yes and we met a guy inside the restaurant who stays at a cabin tonight. He promised us that he is going to build a fire for us so we couldn't say no to that. So we are staying in a cabin tonight and it is not that bad actually because it is still raining, it is very windy and cold. So we are warming up over there and then tomorrow we have a fresh day. Over there is the little red cabin. No this is the restuga. So that is like the restuga. And there are six beds. Good morning. We already packed our stuff. Some parts are still really really wet because it rained crazy yesterday. But we met a guy in the restaurant yesterday and he started the fire over here and we slept here with like three bunk beds for six people and it is a really really good cabin to stay. And this cabin is located next to a harbour and when you pay 50 crowns that is about 5 euros per person to the harbour you can get a hot shower and a nice toilet and a kitchen and everything equipped with it. So it was a good night. I hope there is no new road. Good morning. Good morning. We are now at Skulleskogen National Park and we are at the north entrance the plan for today is first to check out this camp area but that is already in half an hour so that is way too quick. And then we have a hike up up up up up up up up up up to a beautiful lake here and there is a cabin and the campsite is where you can build a fire. That is where we are going to spend the night and tomorrow is one of the highlights of this national park. Let me see if I pronounce it right. It is the Slotsdahl Kruvan and I think Kruvan means a crevasse it is like a big mountain crevasse slash cave where you can walk through. We wanted to fly the drone there but unfortunately it is not allowed to fly the drone in this national park so no drone for us but we are still really excited for this national park. So right now we arrived at the place we want to stay, we wanted to camp initially but while all the places where you could camp it is completely wet in the last couple of days so we decided to stay in this cabin it is a really cool cabin there are four bunk beds here well two bunk beds, four beds and the view is amazing because we are right at the lake. The hike today was really beautiful though we had a steep climb in the beginning we passed a beautiful waterfall a beautiful lake as well and we absolutely saw nobody on the trail we felt like we were the only ones there so we spent the night here with the light of the high coast trail the beautiful cave with the rock walls on the side so we are really looking forward to that now we are going to spend the night here have some nice dinner and a warm sleep. So in almost every cabin in Sweden there are three cabins there is a stove with a fireplace where you can make your own fire to heat up the cabin and you can wear some marshmallows for four days so it is time to eat them Good morning it is a beautiful day today yesterday and the day before it was raining like crazy but today we woke up with a clear blue sky it is quite chilly and windy but it is logical when the weather is this great we woke up with a beautiful sunrise at the lake and now we are packing our things today is the last day in the national park over here today we are going to the crevasse the beautiful cave from there it is about 15 kilometers to the next town where we will resupply and where we are going to spend the night we were the only ones in this beautiful place and had lots of time to explore the peaceful surroundings but Skulliskogen National Park had more for us so we just arrived at our campsite and it was a beautiful very sunny day we really enjoyed it and now we pitched our tent in a little village and it is next to the Skullisberg one of the highlights of the Gekustelade that is almost 300 meters high the highest coastline in the world and probably tomorrow we will climb that one because the original trail doesn't go over the mountain but just past the mountain so today we passed the mountains and we quickly pitched our tent because we know tomorrow will be a very good day as well so the plan is to go very light one back back here, back one back very light go up the mountain go back here, pack our stuff and continue the trail and now it is time to have some dinner and then we will have an early night of sleep good morning as you can see I am hiking solo at the moment ever since we finished the TMB a couple of weeks ago Aletta's knee is really aching and at first during this trail there were no problems with her knee but yesterday with quite a demanding and rocky trail her knee started aching again which is not nice of course and we thought she would recover this night but we didn't have a really good sleepless night to be honest because quite chilly and wet but unfortunately her knee is still aching at the morning so I am doing this detour by myself like we mentioned yesterday it is the Skullenberg detour Skullenberg it I am not sure how we pronounce it actually but it is a 300 meter mountain half way up a trail is a cave and that cave was used by robbers in the past so let's see how it goes the weather is really beautiful it is now 8.30 and it should take me about 2 to 3 hours then going back to Aletta she is at the tent to recover and we will see from there right behind me is the robbers cave and the other side behind me the view is incredible and I think it took me half an hour to get up here and it was a pretty fun trail to be honest it was steep and rocky but very doable there were some ladders and steel cables but not that big of a problem from here I think it is 15 minutes to the top I made it to the top and it was quite beautiful really beautiful and I would recommend this detour if you are hiking the Haikos trail the trail goes underneath the mountain but there are a couple of trails that lead upwards the mountain like this is the cave trail and you have the south trail the east trail so multiple options couple of tips if you are hiking the cave trail don't hike it down because some parts are very slippery and steep and one tip maybe leave your heavy backpack down because all the trails come to the beginning again so leave your backpack there and just bring one easy day pack with light stuff to carry you up so this is Skullbergat nature reserve this is the whole mountain this is where we stayed last night and where we camped and where I let this right now I took this blue trail over here all the way to the other side of the mountain then I went up the steep climb towards the cave that is here further up the steep stairs then I made it to the top and from here my plan is to hike this blue trail down it is quite an easy trail then take a side trail here whoop to the lake back to Aletten I am back at the campsite I think this detour cost me two hours and I think it is a really recommended detour if you are hiking the high cost trail it is really beautiful up there beautiful views the trail is quite spectacular as well now let's see how Aletten is doing over there I was just packing all my stuff so and trying to dry the tent but still wet so hopefully the sun will does its work just a little behind the scenes of camping life if you are camping and it is quite chilly in the night we need to dry our tent so we kept the outside of the tent over there to let it dry the inner tent is drying here the sleeping bags as well they got a little bit damp on the on the top but these sleeping bags are incredible on the Koenslede we had minus 6 and they kept us warm all night so far we are really happy with the brand Cumulus very happy and the jackets are incredible as well happy happy happy Aletten is cleaning the inside of the tent I think I am just packing the stuff Aletten is packing the stuff well I am preparing some coffee now so we just packed everything and dried all our stuff and we are ready to go and today is quite a long day because it is 17 kilometers to Ulengau that is the next town we want to go to and it is a lot of road walks there are quite a few road walks actually but still there are some nice view points along the way so let us enjoy the day after a day filled with road walking road walking and road walking we decided to check into a hotel to treat ourselves and Aletten's knee with a good night's rest good morning very lovely day as well and we are feeling very energetic yesterday we passed the halfway point which was magnificent and after a lot of road walks we decided to reward ourselves with a hotel so Aletten's knee can recover as well and we slept 11 hours yeah we slept a long time and my knee feels way better right now and that is good because today we have a 25 kilometer hike and that is also a lot of road walking but also in some forests as you can see behind us and today promises to be like one of the well unique selling points of the Hoka Kuste because we will pass lots of different villages and Hoka Kuste and seas and stuff like that which is really typical for this area yes and we had a very lovely and big breakfast so we are ready to go even though today we have a lot of road walking we are passing through many beautiful Swedish villages and scenic viewpoints that truly capture the beauty of the high coast this region embodies our vision of Sweden in every way after a different but beautiful day along the trail where we pass lots of villages and rocky beaches we see the sign of the B&B in Gavik this B&B has a campsite as well we decided to stay here for the night and enjoy the beautiful views that the high coast has to offer good morning it's almost the last day we have 33 more kilometers to go and we decided to split it in half right yeah that's true because today it's still pretty good weather the sun is shining but tomorrow probably it's gonna rain again in the end we have two options there is a 10th site 18 kilometers or 18 kilometers not sure and a little bit after that is a cabin option and if we're too early at the 10th site and we still have some sunny weather we'll push forward towards the cabin it's after a very long and pretty exhausting day to be honest we made it and when we arrived at the original campsite it was way too early right yeah it was way too early and we read the signs about cabin up and it's supposed to be a beautiful view so we were like ok let's push it forward and let's go to the cabin the view from this cabin is amazing and one thing we can see the famous bridge over here where this drill finishes so we have one more day tomorrow and I think it's about 12 kilometers so a very short day now we're gonna build a fire make some dinner and have a good night of sleep yes and we started with a beautiful morning in the cabin with an amazing view although it was completely misty but we know that was an amazing view and so now we are declining from the detour and hopefully get back on the real track again and then it's only I think 12 kilometers till the finish line right now we're back on the original trail of the Hoca Custelede and the downhill was pretty cool pretty amazing the steep section are secured with ropes but you can do without ropes and it's pretty ok it was a very cool detour would really recommend this one and there were also stairs right? yeah and there were a couple of stairs as well long stairs but it was a cool descent I think still 3 kilometers to go and I think the rest is only road walking if I'm correctly and we can already see the top of the bridge bridge over there in the bag it there's the finish and here we are after hiking 130 kilometers through this incredible area of the high coast of Sweden it was a journey that we will always cherish we explored a magnificent Skullisgogel national park where we stayed in an absolutely beautiful cabin surrounded by nature we saw the famous Lotstal Grafane the towering wall of Skullberget and walked through some typical Swedish villages and although the weather wasn't always perfect and there was quite a bit of road walking the natural beauty and the stunning coastal trails of this area more than made up for it the high coast trail will always hold a special place in our hearts this was the Högerkustenleden
