Hittaut

From May 17th to October 13th, 2024, all Skellefte residents and visitors can take the chance to HITTAUT throughout our vast municipality and discover a part of all the donut places we have close to us. And we really mean everyone - HITTAUT is available in 15 locations in the municipality with a total of 495 checkpoints to look for.

In the years 2021-23, approx. 4,000 people have participated each year. A very common comment is: "A great way to find out, discover new places in the local area and get exercise in the process". It costs nothing, easy to get started, either in the "hittaut" app or with a paper map that you pick up at the local store or at Skellefteå Tourist Center, address Trädgårdsgatan 7 in central Skellefteå.

NEW in 2024! Träbroarna runt/The wooden bridges circuit>>
Accessible urban orientation along the Skellefteälven
Discover the beautiful environment around the Skellefteälven and several hundred years of wooden construction. The wooden bridges around stretch from the almost 300-year-old Lejonström Bridge in the west, through Skellefteå's old church town of Bonnstan and the Nordanå cultural area to the modern Älvsbacka Bridge in the east.
The wooden bridges around are part of HittaUt Skellefteå. The distance is 7 km and there are 10 accessible controls (checkpoint 1-10) which make it possible to participate even with a pram, wheelchair and permobile.
Take the opportunity to discover Skellefteå's beautiful wooden bridges and river rooms. Everyone who registers 10 checks in the Träbroarna round is included in the draw for "Skellefteå products" on three occasions during the season.
