Lovely autumn walks

Autumn is a great time to be out in nature – watching the changing colors of the foliage, hunting for mushrooms and berries or enjoying the last warming rays of the late summer sun between the branches.

Take a break from your daily routine and try the wilderness

Give yourself time to relax, to just be. Halmstad is filled with places that offer peace and quiet, and are always close by, no matter where you are. The sea is just around the corner, as are the woods and the interior. Put on your boots and fill your basket with berries or mushrooms, take a hike together on beautiful nature trails or along a lush green path.

On our page Put everyday life on hold in the wilderness, we have described several places in Halmstad where you can find peace and quiet - in the forest, along a hiking trail, by the fishing lake... We also recommend places for mushroom picking.

Picnic areas

If you prefer to fill your basket with lots of snacks, there are several lovely picnic spots to head to. Make the trip into a family adventure and head to the mighty Danska Fall waterfall, an experience for both young and old. Or head up to the top of Virsehatt mountain for miles of panoramic views towards Halmstad, but don't forget to keep an eye out for trolls... Another magical place in the falls is Galgberget near the city, whose beech forests have a beautiful orange glow. Go for a walk, admire the view from the lookout tower, explore the Hallandsgården open-air museum or let your kids loose at the Sagoängen playground.
