Vårdkallberget — a wild hike from Docksta (bike‑first + Day Kit option)

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)

  1. Go bike‑first from Docksta marina (easy ride: roads + easy gravel)

  2. Lock the bike near the antenna area in Myre and start hiking

  3. Enjoy the wilder single track + summit viewpoints

  4. Add a 15–30 min hammock pause in the rocky pine forest (optional)

  5. 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

Hammock pause (Skogspaus playground)

The rocky pine forest sections are ideal for a 15–30 minute reset.
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).

Useful notes

  • Want the easy setup? Grab&Go: bike + Day Kit (pick‑up at Docksta marina)

  • Quick check: “Is it windy today? Should we plan a forest pause instead of a long summit stop?”

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.
