Vikhög harbour

Midway between Landskrona and Malmö, immediately south of the Barsebäcksverket power station, a headland stands out, little known to the general public, but all the more appreciated by those who have been there. This is Vikhög, a small fishing village with a harbour since the mid-19th century. In the community of about 50 houses grouped around an old Bronze Age grave, there is not much to buy, but a lot of unspoilt charm. The view from the burial mound is spectacular with Copenhagen to the west and across the sea to the south (Lommabukten is surprisingly large) the coastline of Malmö can be seen. If you run out of supplies, you can usually get help to get into Löddeköpinge, which is about 5 kilometres away.

The harbour has about 125 permanent berths and provides shelter from the sea in all winds. Everyone knows everyone in this idyll and visiting boats and their crews are welcome to use the harbour’s facilities including the well-located clubhouse.

The entrance, which is well marked out, offers little difficulty and although the harbour has a limited depth, boats with a draught of no more than 2.05 m usually find their way in and moor without difficulty.
