Ullared: Cycling Trails, River and Water Activities

Ullared lies beside the winding Högvadsån river, amid wooded hills. Cycling trails, activities at Musasjön and attractions in Gekåsbyn offer different ways to plan your stay; the river also offers specific fishing opportunities. If you’re looking for a hotel in Ullared, you can use these interests to think about how you’d like to spend your time in the area.

Cycling and trails

The Åkulla–Ullared section of Hallandsleden passes around Musasjön by Ullared’s campsite, then follows a paved road through Ullared.

Two route distances stand out for cyclists: the Ätranbaneleden between Ullared and Fegen is 24 km long, while the Pyttebaneleden is 15 km long. The two routes therefore differ by nine kilometres. The Ätranbaneleden is also easy to cycle and suitable for the whole family. When comparing them, you can consider not only the distance but also the ease of cycling and suitability for families of this particular route.

There are also two specific options for a family trip: the Ätranbaneleden is suitable for the whole family, and Äventyrsparken offers physical activities for the whole family. This means you can distinguish between a cycling route and an activity focused on movement in Gekåsbyn.

At Musasjön

Musasjön has a beach with fine sea sand, a bathing jetty, a bathing raft and a waterslide. The sauna raft on Musasjön can also be booked through Gekåsbyn. The options for planning a visit to the water have different focuses: beach facilities for swimming, or a sauna on a raft that can be booked through Gekåsbyn.

Activities in Gekåsbyn

The Äventyrsparken adventure park is located in the heart of Gekåsbyn and offers physical activities for the whole family, with a focus on movement, balance and coordination. These three aspects add specific movement skills to the general focus on physical activity. The adventure golf course in Gekåsbyn has 12 artificial-turf holes with water hazards and bunkers. The playground in Gekåsbyn covers 950 m² and includes, among other things, obstacle courses, swings and zip lines. Bikes can be rented at Gekåsbyn’s activity reception. Details about the golf course and playground, as well as rental terms, may change; check the latest information if you plan to rely on these options.

River, walk and arrival

The Högvadsån offers a variety of fishing opportunities, including salmon, trout, pike and perch. Swimming and fishing are associated with different bodies of water: swimming facilities are at Musasjön, while fishing opportunities are at Högvadsån.

A walk around Ullareds kyrka leads uphill to the newer part of Ullared’s cemetery. Take the uphill section into account when planning this walk.

A large department store car park with 4,000 free parking spaces is located right next to Gekås Ullared. Parking conditions may change; check them before you travel.
