If you want a “real High Coast” feeling without crowds, Vårdkallberget is a core recommendation from Docksta Havet Base Camp: easy approach, wild trail, big nature, amazing 360° panorama of the archipelago — and a perfect place for a short hammock pause in rocky pine forest.
🇸🇪 Swedish summary at the end (kort på svenska).
Quick facts
Route: out & back from the antenna in Myre
Distance / elevation / time: 4.6 km 🚴♂️, D+180 m (antenna) + 2.3km 🚶♂️, ~2 hrs
Summit: 265 m a.s.l.
Difficulty: doable for many hikers, with one rugged section along the hilltop
The simple plan
(Docksta marina → trailhead → hike → pause → back)
Go bike‑first from Docksta marina (easy ride: roads + easy gravel)
Lock the bike near the antenna area in Myre and start hiking
Enjoy the wilder single track + summit viewpoints
Add a 15–30 min hammock pause in the rocky pine forest (optional)
Return the same way (slow on the descent), then bike back to the marina
Grab&Go setup (optional, but ideal): bike + Day Kit (daypack + hammock kit) — ready in minutes at Docksta marina.
What to expect (honest notes)
A short steeper bit early on (take it easy)
Narrow single track in places (blueberries in season)
Classic High Coast terrain: granite, lichen, wind‑shaped pines
The summit can feel exposed when windy

Tip: choose sturdy pines, use wide tree‑friendly straps, and leave no trace.
What to bring (simple)
Water + snack, a warm layer, good shoes.
Optional (recommended if you travel light): Day Kit (daypack + hammock kit).

🇸🇪 Kort på svenska
Vårdkallberget är en av våra kärnrekommendationer nära Docksta: en lagom “vild” vandring med stor naturkänsla. 4,6 km • +180 m • ca 2 timmar (tur och retur från antennen i Myre). Klippig tallskog gör turen perfekt för en kort hängmattepaus—ta bra skor, vatten och gärna ett varmt lager om det blåser. Ett enkelt tips: kör bike-first från Docksta och lås cykeln vid startpunkten.
