The culinary boost

AN EXPERIENCE THAT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE We become more and more picky when it comes to the food we consume. We prefer local produce, cooked and turned into culinary sensations. This is something we are very good at in Sotenäs. Many restaurateurs are proud to offer their guests the most high quality food and you can also often buy local produce with great quality in the supermarkets. The shellfish in Bohuslän has a reputation of being the best

in the world. Fresh prawns from Smögen, mussels farmed in the fjords of Bohuslän, Norwegian lobsters and oysters, are all local specialities. In addition to this we also have the king of shellfish – the lobster. This exclusive shellfish is the number one choice for foodies and fishermen. Lobster season is in Autumn. That’s when you can enjoy this delicious shellfish at one of the restaurants. The lobster is also a favourite among leisure fishermen. You will notice this at the lobster fishing premiere at the end of September. It’s a great sight seeing several fishing boats navigate out on the ocean to try their fishing luck.

The culinary boost in Sotenäs is however not only for local

seafood. We also have agriculture that provides us with firstclass crops of different varieties. There are also many smaller livestock breeders who produce quality meat. Kustcharken in Askum has established a successful business with locally produced meat and has contributed to the culinary boost in Sotenäs. Other contributors are the restaurants in Sotenäs who primarily uses local products. The dinner guest are always happy to know that the food they are served comes from the nearby ocean and countryside, cooked to perfection by skilled chefs.

Göstas fish store and Göstas Fiskekrog are both located along the famous wooden bridge on Smögen - Smögenbryggan. Open all year round. This is where your seafood taste the way it should.

things not to be missed in Smögen & Hållö

Hållö lighthouse, feel the thrill of climbing to the top of the lighthouse to get a magnificient view. Hållö, the island, take your time to walk around the whole island and discover the rocks, the Marble pool, historical places and the café. The Smögen boardwalk, the people, the shops, the coffee houses, the restaurants. Feel the buzz in the summer with crowds of people. The rocks, buy a bag of fresh prawns and enjoy the sunset by the sea. A boat ride around the island, starting from the harbour and out through Smyghålet and then go either south-west to Hållö or north to Hasslösund.

Welcome to Smögen &

Smögen & Hållö SO CLOSE AND YET SO DIFFERENT

Fabulous rocks, salty swims, nothing but water between you and the horizon. Contrasts. Just a few minutes away. Crowds of people. Meetings. Smögen has a strong appeal. Intense in the summer. A retreat for the mind and soul the rest of the year. – One can fall madly in love with

the nature here. The barren rocks, the sea and the dense neighbourhoods with typical wooden houses, says Jan Rippe, a comedian and singer. He came to Smögen more than 50 years ago and the family became parttime residents. For Jan, Smögen and Hållö are a must to visit. He loves the summer buzz and the busy street life. There is lots of activity in the family’s boat house and shop. – I do love this place even more during the off season. During the autumn, winter and spring there is a wonderful tranquility here, says Jan, who likes to walk on the craggy rocks, regardless of the weather. – One is like a small dot in the universe. One feels the primordial force and sees the elements meet. The immense sea. The barren granite stone. Take a deep breath and feel alive. The magical Hållö, just a short boat ride away southwest of Smögen, has a special place in Jan’s heart. – Hållö is “my island”. I got married to Elisabeth there and I think we were actually the first couple

ever get married here. Our youngest son was christened here and we have many beautiful memories from Hållö, says Jan who has also taken part in sing-alongs on the island. Throughout

the years he has befriended many locals and when the family started a gallery/shop on the island and became business owners they got an informal approval of the Smögen community. – If you make an effort and the more you get involved in the community, the more you want to raise and praise Smögen. Jan and his wife, Elisabeth, are planning to move here permanently. – To us Smögen is, its people, the dialect and a sense of belonging. You end up wanting to spend more and more time here. Take the opportunity to speak with locals – it could be the beginning of something completely new. The result could be that you never want to leave. This is exactly what it was like for Jan and his family.

Stay at Makrillviken in Smögen The best location you can get, 10 meters to the sea, low prices and high standard.

Welcome to Smögen &

things not to be missed in Kungshamn

Fisketången, very cosy, genuine with a wonderful ambiance. The old liaison office is a unique viewing spot on top of Sotenäset surrounded by the sea. The harbour with all the boats and the boardwalk. Walking, just park the car and walk. Everything is within walking distance. A wonderful place to go swimming is Näbba located on the boardwalk under the bridge to Smögen.

Welcome to Smögen &

Kungshamn

AT THE TIP OF THE SOTENÄS PENINSULA The setting, surrounded by the sea. The boats, the boardwalk, the boat houses in Fisketången and the herring barrels. Service and shops, available all year round. In Kungshamn everything is within reach. Everybody greet each other. Anna-Karin Dahlström has lived here

most of her adult life. This is where she always returns after exhibiting art all over the country. – Kungshamn. This is home. The ambience, the salty sea water and the clean air. Everything is within reach. One can walk from one part of the village to another in less than fifteen minutes. The best place to park your car is in the large car park next to the sports hall. Just walk down Nygatan to the centre and return by Hvitfeldtsgatan. Walking is the best way to explore Kungshamn according to Anna-Karin. – Everybody says hi when they meet, regardless of whether they know each other or not. You are never anonymous here and this gives you a real sense of security. She enjoys walking along the sea front or in the charming alleyways of Fisketången with the old worn-out boat houses. However, she thinks it is a pity that so few people have discovered our beautiful parks. Why not bring a picnic basket and enjoy the park in Fisketången, the park by the Community

Centre or the Bäckevik Square. The parks are natural meeting places and you will always find someone to chat with. Anna-Karin, very enthusiastically men-

tions the local community´s hard work and perserverance in local matters and especially in helping to organize the October Fair which is held annually during the half-term school holiday. It is a fair where the local companies, societies and the municipality meet the residents, both permanent and part-time. – The great diversity is wonderful and we are so proud of all the things local. There are so many great ideas and happenings. Everything can be found here, she says and concludes: – Clearly we hope these efforts will have the effect of attracting people, young and old, to move to the area. The fair is a way of showing that we are a powerful community and that we stick together. – The only things we do not have are queues.

Welcome to Smögen &

things not to be missed in Hunnebostrand

The Stone-cutting museum and the Geo park gives an insight in an era when stone shaped life. The Udden sculpture park by the water front in the northern part of the village. The hand of Carl von Linné above Hästedalen´s beach is a modern piece of art by a Spanish artist. The view from the water tower, easily accessable from Skalberget. Do not miss the large compass rose carved into the rock. S:t Görans island outside the south harbour with boat houses and lovely bathing spots.

Welcome to Smögen &

Hunnebostrand AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY

Surrounded by three craggy rocks and embracing a natural bay in the harbour. The result – a vital Hunnebostrand with beautiful houses and a rich history. Everything becomes obvious when culture gives depth to experience. – In Hunnebostrand we have some of

Sweden’s best preserved boat houses. It is a treat to walk around the picturesque areas around Strandgatan. So much history is hidden behind the walls. Kjell Andersson knows it all. He is devoted to the place, its people and their destinies. Quarrying commenced in Hunnebostrand, shortly after it was initiated in Bohus-Malmön. – The stone has shaped the area through the ages. This is especially noticeable when visiting the shoreboulder by Hunnebo Klåva, the mounds of stones from the bronze age close by, the stone-cutting museum and the Geo park just a stone’s throw away, says Kjell. The harbour is the heart of the village with the

boat houses and boats. Wonderful opportunites to go swimming can be found on St. Görans island and in Hästedalen. Not to be missed is a stroll around the sculpture park initiated by the sculptor Pål Svensson.

The active Community Association in Hunnebostrand have iniated and developed the sea-front walk from Ödby Island by the northern inlet of Sotekanalen to the neighbouring village in the north, Ulebergshamn. A beautiful nature trail about four kilometers in length with information panels along the way. Wherever one turns, there are marks from previous

generations.The stonemasons distinctive marks, the shipping ports for the large cargo ships, the herring fishing in the18th century, the paving stones from the 19th century and the oil produced by the tryworks that lit the streets of Paris are some of them. The swimming arena at Hästedalen attracted Olympic swimmers and other elite swimmers in the 1930s. Kjell Andersson encourages the visitors to climb the slopes of one of the surrounding mountains, Skalberget, North or South Högeberg. From here one has a magnificient view of Hunnebostrand, the cliffs and the horizon of the open sea.

Welcome to Smögen &

things not to be missed in Bovallstrand

Soteleden, easy to find and a great way to experience wonderful nature. Skomakarudden in the northern part of the village, a small sandy beach in a bay surrounded by cliffs. Perfect for a swim and picnic. Fresh eggs and rapeseed oil at the farm shop at Klev’s farm, just south of the community. Badholmarna is a must. Swimming in a purely unique setting. The lively square with the ICA supermarket and restaurants. A hub in the small village.

Welcome to Smögen &

Bovallstrand IT IS EASY TO BE ACTIVE HERE

The green and white bathing huts on Badholmarna. The square, a place to meet and chat. The boat houses. The harbour, the sea and the rocks of the archipelago are eye catchers. Bovallstrand is a classic idyll. – The sea is so obvious. For me, the very

special thing with Bovallstrand is the closeness to nature, says Ulrica Ifwer who often puts on her running shoes and sets off for a run around the trail, Soteleden. From Bovallstrand, Soteleden is within easy reach with various trails. It is perfect for walking as you can catch a loop and come back to the starting place. Along the very varied trail, picnic sites, huts for an overnight stay, ponds, beech woods and an adventure trail can be found as well as a magnificient view of the archipelago. On a clear day, Väderöarna in the west and Smögen in the south can be seen. Running along the trail is perfect. On Tuesday

nights in July, the local running association IK Granit, organises the very popular Honeysuckle Run. Both young and old as well as elite runners participate in this event and run between one and eight kilometers together. Afterwards cordial and cookies are served says Ulrika. Being located close to the E6, Bovallstrand makes

a good base for exploring the area more closely. To stroll from the square towards Badholmarna, the bridges on the small islands and the wooden diving tower. – Badholmarna are quite unique. The bathing huts, the atmosphere, the swim, the young and old as well as a small kiosk in the summer. Mornings and evenings, ladies and gentlemen dressed in bath robes can be seen rushing down to the sea for a refreshing swim. For the more active, outdoor yoga and aerobics are available. To be active is easy in Bovallstrand. When Ulrika tries to summarize the soul of the neighbourhood she mentions an active community, the school, the shop, the small businesses and the door manufacturer. And, of course, the location. – So much is to be found here. Close to famous tourist attractions like Smögen, Fjällbacka or Grebbestad for example. Though you do not have to be part of the excitement with crowds of people all the time. What you find here is tranquility.

Welcome to BryggcafĂŠt in Bovallstrand! Our a la carte menu is based on the simple idea of treating fresh local ingredients with care and respect. We also have a strong interest for wine, which is reflected in our extensive wine list with focus on European and American producers. We pride ourselves on creating a fun and open atmosphere that includes a kids play area where they can hang out while you take in the calm and tranquility of the west coast.

Welcome to SmĂśgen &

things not to be missed on BohusMalmön

Stallebrottet, a fabulous outdoor stage for theater and music in an old quarry on the north side. The Wolf park on Draget, south side of the island. Stones produced by the stonecutters that were rejected are called varg = wolf. Some are displayed here. The hiking trails are wellmarked and lead the visitors to exquisite spots all over the island. A perfect outdoor activity throughout the season. The sand dunes Pärlarna by Kattesand is a real treat. The old harbour, located close to a great place to swim with a diving tower and adapted to people with disabilities. 14

Welcome to Smögen &

Bohus-Malmön FOR A MEMORABLE OUTING SET IN GRANITE

A barren place with a very destinctive atmosphere. An active community with lots of happy encounters and nice people. It is difficult not be affected when you come to Bohus-Malmön.

Many describes the feeling of letting go of tensions already in the queue to the ferry and when arriving on the island you enter a different mindset. Gunilla Jakobsson and Patrik Larsson, have settled in a place which they always dreamt of. They have spent a lot of time and effort through the years to make the island’s boarding house into a meeting place on an annual basis. For overnight visitors, trekkers, weddings, guests of the restaurant and youngsters in confirmation camps. – Bohus-Malmön has a wonderful nature, perfect for hiking at all levels. There are great walking trails. It is so easy to get out and about. Walking along the paths, just by the sea or on the smooth rocks brings you really close to nature. The fragrance, the wind and the people. There are lots of things going on in Bohus-

Malmön. The harbour is popular with both boating visitors as well as restaurant guests and strollers.

One supermarket is open all year round and in the summer there are even more shops. With the great involvement of locals, part-time residents and various cultural personalities, the wonderful stage Stallebrottet has emerged as a stage for music and drama. – The stone cutting history takes a great leap into the future. This is an excellent example of the powerful local community. Swimming and enjoying water activities are maybe

the main reason for visiting the island during the summer. On a nice hot summer you get the feeling of being abroad, maybe around the Mediterranean. Go to the the nice sandy shores on the east side where you can enjoy wonderful swims and where the beaches are well-protected from the wind. On the west side, the sea and the sun strokes the smooth cliffs. – Bohus-Malmön shares the same wonderful environment as Smögen but is more tranquil, concludes Gunilla Jakobsson.

Comfortable and spacious cottages. Double room with breakfast included, SEK 995-1395. Conference, weddings or parties can be booked all year round. Contact us at +46 523 352 10, www.bohus-malmon.se

Welcome to Smögen &

SOTELEDEN Soteleden covers a distance of about 90 km trail, and over 20 different paths, through hilly ground with marvellous views over the archipelago. Ancient remains are spread over the area, reminding us about old times. Our nature reserves such as Ramsvik and Bohus-Malmön offers you spectacular walks.

On the right track 90 KILOMETERS OF VARIED SCENERY

Roughly about 90 kilometers of varied scenery passing through forests, rocks, and the coast. The Soteleden walking trail takes you on an incredible journey through a rich cultural landscape. The unspoilt country side and varying terrain provides an endless panorama of magnificient views and makes this a hiking experience you will never forget. The constantly changing scenery adds to the thrill.

One moment you will be gazing out over the western archipelago where the briny sea splashes against rocky island and shortly thereafter you will step into magical places in the forests. Pine and fir grow together with deciduous trees among bogs and heather covered moors. Rocks and cliffs provides natural and exhilarating climbing walls. The Soteleden trail runs along Sweden’s west coast

between Bovallstrand in the north and Smögen in the south, about 140 kilometers north of Göteborg. The trail commences at Åby Säteri in the east and extends the coastal villages in the west. The trail is divided into around 20 different stages. The trail is signposted with blue and white route markers. 18

Welcome to Smögen &

Another long distance trail, Kuststigen, is also

indicated on some of the trail signs. If you want to spend the night on the trail there are shelters and simple huts that can be used free of charge. You will find them on the Soteleden map. This map can be purchased at the Tourist Offices in Kungshamn, Smögen and Hunnebostrand. On Smögen there are a number of shorter walking-

paths from where you have a fantastic view of the archipelago with its myriads of rocks and cliffs. Further away, behind it all, is the stretch of the horizon, a rare view you can not enjoy in many other parts of the world. More information is available at: sotenasturism.se and www.sotenas/vandra.

Welcome to Smögen &

Welcome to Smögens Hafvsbad Mindful of the past, but firmly in the present! Smögens Havsbad, one of Sweden’s most dramatic and beautiful hotel-, conference- and SPA-hotels, is situated here. Smögens Hafvsbad was inaugurated in 1900 and became the last watering place on the Bohuslän coast. Barons, factory owners, directors, court dentists, violinists, colonels and actors were all regular visitors to the spa. They came to breathe in the pure air and swim in the salty sea. Today we treat our historical heritage with respect and affection. We take great care to preserve the spirit of yesteryear, in a modern facility that offers guests every amenity imaginable.

SPA

Trust your first impression when you enter our SPA. Here you will experience the calm, the clean and the classical in harmony with nature and the blue light outside. Here you can also enjoy our pool, jacuzzi and sauna. You can, of course, also work-out in our gym or improve you suntan in our sunbed.

THE RESTAURANT

If you think a wonderful view adds value when you are at a restaurant – then congratulations! You will have a marvelous view of the sea, rocks and what tends to be a dramatic sky in the evenings.
