Högkullen
The metre-high tower was built in on the metre-high peak, and the views from here are magnificent. On a clear day you can see 80—90 kilometres across lake Vanern up towards Skoghall and Karlstad and the whole of Värmlandsnäs. On the horizon you can see the whole of the Dalsland shoreline along lake Vänern, as well as Halleberg and Hunneberg.
If you turn your gaze east you can see Billingen and the landscape stretching towards Karlsborg and Tiveden. To get some idea of just how good the view is from here it is worth mentioning that you are standing at the same height above lake Vänern as the highest viewing platform of the Eiffel Tower is above the ground, namely metres!
This is where the Swedish polar explorer Andrée carried out a geological excavation in , in an attempt to determine whether Kinnekulle was a volcano or not.

Högkullen is also an ideal starting point for a hike to take in the natural beauty of Kinnekulle. Several hiking trails run from here, and five popular mountain-biking trails were created a couple of years ago. Layers of history — In the geopark we find geological phenomena and places that are only found here or in a few places in the world, such as; the peneplane the bedrock surface with its flat surface, the table mountains which with their unique rock layers rise from the plain landscape and ice age deposits that create an incomparable landscape.
This geology has also created conditions for varied flora, species-rich fauna, exciting cultural and industrial history and active outdoor life. Platåbergens Geopark is a collaboration between nine municipalities; Grästorp, Vänersborg, Trollhättan, Lidköping, Götene, Skara, Falköping, Skövde and Mariestad.
