Discover Skedala

Skedala in open flatland

Skedala is a small residential area in the open flatland east of Halmstad. If you are planning a trip here, you can first consider how the character of the area fits your interests in outdoor activities and nature. Trails, bodies of water and fishing opportunities offer different focal points for planning.

Cycling and hiking

The regional Hylteleden cycling route runs through Skedala. Skedala skog has three marked mountain biking trails with berms, drops and jumps. This means there are different cycling options: Hylteleden is a regional route through the area, while the marked MTB trails are in Skedala skog. If you are choosing between a cycling trip and mountain biking, the route type, trail markings, berms, drops and jumps are useful points of reference.

Högåsstigen is a challenging hiking loop for experienced hikers. Torvsjöslingan runs all the way around Torvsjön; much of the route follows a gravel path. These tours have different features to consider: Högåsstigen is defined by its difficulty and the experience required, while Torvsjöslingan goes around the entire lake and has a particular surface. This makes it easier to choose a tour based on the features that matter most to you.

Lakes, natural beach and fishing

Toftasjön is a lake in Skedala skog, with a natural beach on its shore. There are dry toilets in the area around Skedala, at Torvsjön and Toftasjön. These offer different points of reference for planning time by the water: a natural beach at Toftasjön and practical facilities at two lakes. Pike and perch can be fished in Torvsjön. In the area around Skedala, salmon and trout fishing is permitted in the Fylleån river from its mouth to Landala, at the same level as Skedala gård farm. Check local rules and access conditions before fishing in the Fylleån.

Getting there and further planning

Regional bus 318 goes to Skedala skog. Check the latest departure times before travelling so you can plan your journey for the day. The route number is a useful reference; for your specific trip, check the timetable for your chosen day.

Skedala bygdegård may also be useful when planning your trip: it can be booked online for parties, meetings or other activities. If an occasion like this is the main reason for your stay, this booking option is a separate planning point alongside excursions. A party or meeting makes for a different kind of trip than one focused primarily on cycling or hiking. Availability and prices may change, so check both when you are preparing to make a booking.

Then search for hotels for your travel dates and choose according to your personal priorities.
