Bohuslan Attractions

Bohuslän, extending along the coast of the Skagerrak from Göteborg to the Norwegian frontier, is the most westerly province of Sweden, to which it has belonged since the treaty of Roskilde in 1658. The traditional fisheries, for long the region's only significant source of income, have been supplemented in recent years by a growing tourist and holiday trade, resulting in overcrowding during the summer.

The much indented coastal regions with their innumerable skerries, worn smooth by wind and water, and their clean, salty water have been a popular holiday area for more than a century. In addition Bohuslän is rich in remains of the past, particularly rock carvings of the Stone and Bronze Ages and Viking stone-settings.
