Two tips from Visit Skellefteå

Bjuröklubb is a coastal nature reserve offering sweeping sea views, beautiful hiking trails, and a historic lighthouse where you can enjoy a coffee break or even spend the night. During the spring bird migration, it’s a particularly popular spot for birdwatchers.

Marranäsvältan, located in Fällfors, is a dramatic sand ravine that’s constantly changing shape. In winter, the area is often accessible by car or snowmobile. With two barbecue spots, it's a great place to take a break and enjoy the natural surroundings.
