About
Skuleberget is a mountain on the west side of the E4 motorway a few kilometers north of Docksta in Kramfors municipality in Ångermanland (Västernorrland County), Sweden. Skuleberget is near, but not part of the Skuleskogen National Park, as the national park is on the east side of the E4.
The mountain falls almost vertically along the side facing the highway, creating a dramatic effect that can easily be seen from the road below. Up on the mountain there are a number of paths and Via Ferrata climbing trails, which start next to the Naturum Höga Kusten information center at old Riksväg 13 ("Rikstretton"). A chairlift is also available for use during both the winter and summer months to carry people to the summit.
At 286 metres (938 ft) above sea-level, Skuleberget has the worlds highest coastline. The mountain, as part of the large High Coast region, is considered a World Heritage Site.
