Description
Cross iconic bridges, uncover local history, and savor the flavors of the High Coast!

Discover two of Sweden’s most spectacular bridges and dive into fascinating regional history on this scenic excursion. The first highlight is the High Coast Bridge, one of Sweden’s tallest and longest suspension bridges, towering 180 meters above the water. With its resemblance to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, this architectural wonder offers a striking visual spectacle. At Hotell Höga Kusten, situated on a mountain overviewing the bridge, you’ll have the opportunity to taste a unique local delicacy—surströmming tapas, a mild and flavorful take on Sweden’s famous fermented herring. Following this, a delightful lunch will be served, featuring locally sourced ingredients that showcase the flavors of the High Coast. Guests can browse a selection of handcrafted souvenirs and gourmet regional products. The tour continues with a visit to Sandö Bridge and the Ådalen 31 monument, a historical landmark telling the story of 1931, a peaceful labor demonstration in Ådalen, Sweden, escalated when the military opened fire on striking workers, killing five people. The event, known as Ådalen 31, was a response to wage disputes and harsh working conditions. The tragedy sparked nationwide outrage and significantly influenced Swedish labor policy.
The construction of the Sandö Bridge began in the late 1930s, aiming to create a vital crossing over the Ångermanälven River. However, during the casting of the main span in 1939, the mold collapsed, causing a tragic accident that claimed the lives of 18 workers—a disaster that was largely overshadowed in the national press due to the outbreak of World War II the following day​
Combining stunning landscapes, delicious food, and compelling history, this excursion is a must for visitors to the region.
