Skuleskogen National Park lies on the Baltic coast in Västernorrland County, northern Sweden, covering 30.62 square kilometres of the Skule Forest. It is 27 km south of the town of Örnsköldsvik, about 22 km in a straight line from it. The park is rugged, with many rocky peaks, the highest being Slåttdalsberget at 280 metres, rising straight from the sea. It is part of the High Coast, the highest stretch of the Baltic shoreline, known for land rising after the ice sheet melted: most of it lay under the sea less than 10,000 years ago. Its best-known sight is the Slåttdalsskrevan crevice, 40 metres deep, 200 metres long and 8 metres wide. The trail runs between two dark vertical rock walls in the narrow crevice, and from the pink rocky summits the view stretches over sea, islands and forest. Fields of old round cobbles polished by the sea, tangled tree roots and small forest waterfalls lie across the park. Walking trails branch through the park along the long High Coast Trail, with simple overnight huts. The trails are rocky and climb steeply, so wear hiking boots.
