Stages 16 and 18-22 are part of the Swedish Tourist Association's "Signature Trail Bohuskusten", which is particularly beautiful, selected and quality assured through the Swedish Tourist Association.

In Sotenäs, the Kuststigen trail goes on parts of the much more widespread Soteleden Trail. The municipality of Sotenäs has prioritized certain sections of the Soteleden trail, and also marked them as Kuststigen.

The stection begins in the nature reserve of Anneröd Hogsäm which, with its beautiful beech forest, is a popular hiking area. From here, the hike takes you through varied forest terrain with both coniferous and deciduous forest and up on mountains with views.

In connection with the section there are a couple of huts/windshelters. 

Don't miss the amazing view just before you reach Sparöd.

In the coastal community of Bovallstrand you can botanize among the typical settlements from the turn of the century and enjoy a swim in the ocean. The authentic buildings, with distinctive tree details, dating back to the turn of the 20th century are largely left in the community. Terrace walls, stairs, gate posts and porch pillars in carved stone testify to the time when Bovallstrand was a stonecutter resort.
