Ullared: River Landscapes, Cycling Routes and Activities

Ullared lies beside the winding Högvadsån, between wooded hills. The river and woodland give the town a tangible connection to nature, while trails, water activities and things to do in Gekåsbyn offer other points of interest. When planning your trip, consider whether cycling, time by the water, fishing or a day of activities is your priority.

Trails through Ullared and cycling routes

The Åkulla–Ullared section of the Hallandsleden trail passes the Ullared campsite, goes around Musasjön and then follows a paved road through Ullared. A walk around Ullared Church leads uphill to the newer section of Ullared Cemetery. The two descriptions feature different types of routes: the Hallandsleden takes you around the lake and onward through Ullared, while the walk to the newer cemetery section climbs uphill. If you want to explore Ullared on foot, these specific routes offer different points of reference for planning your day.

Cyclists can compare two route lengths. The Ätranbaneleden runs for 24 km between Ullared and Fegen, is easy to ride and suitable for the whole family. The Pyttebaneleden is 15 km long, making it nine kilometres shorter. If you’re choosing based on distance, these two routes offer different lengths to consider; the Ätranbaneleden is also described as easy and suitable for the whole family.

Water and nature around Musasjön and Högvadsån

Musasjön has a bathing beach with fine sea sand, a bathing jetty, a bathing raft and a waterslide. You can also book the sauna raft on Musasjön through Gekåsbyn. The beach and sauna raft offer different ways to enjoy the water, with bathing facilities and a bookable sauna experience side by side. Check the current booking options for the sauna raft in advance.

Högvadsån is more than just a scenic backdrop: it offers a variety of fishing opportunities, including salmon, trout, pike and perch. Anglers can use these named species as a guide to what they might fish for. In Ullared, the river is both a feature of the landscape between the wooded hills and a place to go fishing.
