Skellefteå Winbreaks and Outdoor Grilling

A warm cup of coffee, grilled sausage or just a moment to enjoy the outdoors. Around Skellefteå there are windbreaks and barbecue places that you can visit. Here are some tips on barbecue areas and windshields you can visit. To some of these places wood is delivered by the municipality and associations that are available to you who want to light a fire on site. If you want to be on the safe side when you have planned an excursion and want to light a fire, it can be good to bring your own firewood, as we can not guarantee that the firewood will not run out once you get to the place. The places marked on the map are the places where firewood is delivered.

On the map are all windbreaks and rest areas around the entire Skellefteå municipality, the symbols that are marked in green on the map are the places where wood is delivered. The wood is delivered about 1-2 times a week and below is a short description of some of the areas where wood is delivered. 

Sjungande dalen 
Adjacent to the trail for dog walking and the electric light ski trail there is a windbreak. Here you can park directly adjacent to the windbreak and is also close to both walking trails, ski trails and electric light trails depending on the season. For those who want to grill and combine skating, boules, football or tennis, there are two barbecue areas on the Sjungande dalens IP where you can also park directly on site.

What could not be better than combining tobogganing with sausage grilling? Further down in the nature area there is another windbreak, but no firewood is delivered there. You can park at the top of the hill at the petrol station. Otherwise, you can easily get here on foot as the area is quite central.

If you do not get there all the way on foot, you can park next to the bathhouse and then walk or ski there, but please do not go on the ski tracks in winter. Then go towards Syrengatan and the power line and there is a snowmobile track towards the windbreak past the power line towards Mullebo as it is called.

Sunnanå - Lejonströmsbron 
In close proximity to the south side of the Lejonströmsbron, there are two windbreaks, one if you walk along the beach promenade to the east and one to the west. For those who do not want to walk here, you can park next to the bridge. But a tip is to take a walk along the river in connection with your visit, because Lejonström's bridge is a historic place and there is much more to see.
