Vikhög – Fishing Village, Harbor and Swimming Spots

Vikhög is a fishing village at the tip of the peninsula that separates Salviken from Lommabukten. The landscape is flat and open. Anyone looking for a maritime setting with a harbor, swimming opportunities and a historically shaped village structure for their trip will find various starting points here for planning their stay.

Village Structure and Early History

Vikhög’s irregular settlement pattern, small plots and open areas around the harbor preserve the structure of the 19th century. When planning a trip, the historic village structure can therefore be considered a focus in its own right alongside spending time by the water. The Vihojarna burial mounds bear witness to early settlement in the area. They were created during the Bronze Age and add a significantly older period of local history to the historical perspective on Vikhög.

Harbor, Swimming and Time by the Water

Swimming is possible on the beach east of Vikhög’s marina. There is also a ladder into the water at the pier in Vikhög’s harbor, which can be used for swimming. This means that different places can be included in the day’s plans for spending time by the water. Three toilets are available to the public in the harbor.

There are also specific ways to spend free time away from swimming: A pétanque court is located behind the kiosk in Vikhög. A meadow can be used for football and other activities. This allows families, couples and active travelers to focus on different activities without limiting the destination to a single type of holiday. Which offerings you use depends on your personal interests and how you plan your day.

Bicycles and Summer Activities

During the summer, bicycles can be rented from Vikhögs Båtuthyrning. Vikhögs Båtuthyrning also offers canoes, SUP boards, boats and fishing rods for rent during the summer. Anyone wishing to combine their stay with activities on the water can take these offerings into account when planning their trip. Vikhög’s harbor also has 4–5 permanent guest berths with alongside, pile or finger-pier mooring.

Annual Festivals

The local annual calendar includes Midsummer celebrations and a crayfish party held every year. These festivals complement the harbor and swimming opportunities with a seasonal cultural occasion. If you plan your trip accordingly, you can therefore get to know Vikhög both through its maritime character and its recurring celebrations.

Vikhög as a Destination for Finding Accommodation

When looking for accommodation in Vikhög, you can first decide which aspect should be the focus of your stay: the flat, open landscape, the historic village structure, swimming at the beach or harbor, summer activities or the annual festivals. This keeps the choice of destination focused on the experiences that are actually available.
