Once you pass the picturesque town of Härnösand going north you encounter the majestic High CoastBridge. Built in the mid-1990s, it is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world at 1.8 km (one mile), only slightly shorter than the Golden Gate Bridge. The design, combined with its views, makes it one of the most fascinating structures in Sweden. On the north side of the bridge there is a hotel with a restaurant overlooking the beautiful river Ångermanälven underneath the bridge.
Outside the hotel is a big playground area for the kids and a moose garden with guided tours every hour. If you wish to explore the viewsand landscape further, why not take the hiking trail, Högakustenleden, starting next to the parking lot of the hotel and ending at Örnsköldsvik, which also marks the end (or beginning) of the High Coast. Walk the entire 130 km (78 miles) and you’ll catch most of what this area has to offer.
