💡 Tips

Pack layers, as the Baltic coast weather can change quickly even in summer.
The local bus system is reliable for reaching Sundsvall, but check the timetable as rural routes are less frequent.
Mosquito repellent is highly recommended during summer evenings near the forests.
Take advantage of 'Allemansrätten' (the right of public access) to explore the woods respectfully.
