Kebal: Hiking Trails, Waterfront and Maritime Experiences

Kebal combines varied trails with waterfront areas, bathing spots and maritime surroundings. Anyone who enjoys hiking, exploring landscapes and experiencing the water during their holiday will find several different focal points here. The Kebal Trail follows the Kuststigen and starts and ends at the Strömstad Golfklubb golf course. Viewed from the centre of Strömstad, the golf course lies on the opposite side of Kebalviken Bay. This means that a hike, an excursion to the water and the golf course are all available as different focal points during a stay in Kebal.

Hiking between Nötholmen and Seläter

The Kuststigen Kebal–Seläter is a 3 km-long hiking trail. It runs between Nötholmen and Seläter through residential areas, over hills and along waterfront sections. This sequence makes the trail varied: in some sections, the hills shape the landscape, while elsewhere the waterfront takes centre stage. Take the 3 km distance into account when planning your day and choose this trail as a specific focus if you would like to discover Kebal on foot.

The Nötholmen nature reserve is located nearby, directly beside Kebal and the Strömstad Spa Resort. It offers around 3 km of scenic trails through varied woodland and coastal landscapes. Nötholmen therefore combines a nature experience with orientation in a landscape that showcases both woodland and proximity to the water. The nature reserve also contains traces and remnants of the siege of Norway by Charles XII. Anyone looking for more than scenery on an excursion and interested in a historical connection can include this distinctive feature in their plans.

Bathing spots, cycling routes and harbour life

Another option is Norra badrundan, a cycling route with bathing spots north of Strömstad. It includes Röudden, opposite Kebal's small-boat harbour. There you will find rocky shores and a bathing jetty. In addition to the hiking trails, this gives you the choice of a cycling route and time by the water. The different options make it possible to shape your holiday according to the day's energy levels and shared interests, without committing to just one way of exploring.

Maritime life can also be experienced at Strömstad Marina in Kebalviken Bay. The marina offers berths for large and small boats, has toilets, showers and a laundry room, and includes a shop for boating equipment. When planning your routes, the unmanned cable ferry Linfärjan Bojan is also part of the local orientation: it runs between Canning and Kebal across Bojarkilen. In addition, the Strömstad Golfklubb golf course lies on the opposite side of Kebalviken Bay from the centre of Strömstad.

The right base for your stay

If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Kebal, you can use your preferred type of trip as the starting point for your choice. The Kuststigen Kebal–Seläter is suited to a stay with a clear focus on hiking, while Nötholmen also offers nature trails and historical traces. Those who prefer to alternate between cycling, bathing jetties and harbour atmosphere can make Norra badrundan, Röudden and Strömstad Marina the centre of their plans. When choosing your accommodation, it is therefore helpful to decide in advance whether you would prefer to spend your days on foot, by the water or visiting a range of different destinations. You can then compare the exact location of the respective holiday apartment or holiday home with this personal focus.
