For nature lovers
For those who would rather follow a trail than a timetable - towards rushing waterfalls, deep forests and coastal views worth every step.
☐ Pick up a hiking guide from Strömstad Infocenter
Start your adventure at Strömstad Infocenter, grab a copy of the local hiking guide and choose from coastal trails, woodland walks, scenic viewpoints and hidden gems across the area.
☐ Climb Björnerödspiggen
Hike to the highest point in Bohuslän - an "impressive" 222 metres above sea level! At the top, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views across forests, lakes and the borderlands.
☐ See Älgafallet/Elgåfossen up close
Watch the water plunge over the rocks at this spectacular waterfall, located right on the border between Sweden and Norway.
☐ Explore the ancient forest of Halle-Vagnaren
Follow the trails through old pine forest and across bare granite rocks to viewpoints where the cliffs plunge almost vertically towards the sea. Some of Strömstad’s most dramatic archipelago views await - but be sure to keep well away from the cliff edges.
☐ Climb the lookout tower at Dragonkullen
See the border landscape from above, with views towards the Svinesund bridges, the Idefjord and Norway.
☐ Search for glacial potholes on Kockholmen
Follow the trails through the granite landscape of western Rossö and look for the smooth, rounded hollows carved into the rock during the last Ice Age.
☐ Hike a section of the Bohusleden Trail
Follow the orange trail markers through forests, across hills and past historic landscapes. Maps and up-to-date trail information are available from West Sweden Trails.
