Discover car free Käringön
Käringön, the little island with no cars, bikes or mopeds. You can get here easily from Tuvesvik, on the west side of the island of Orust, outside Ellös. After a 40 minute boat trip between rocks and islands you step on land among boathouses and fish shops on Käringön’s north coast.
Swedish oysters and chilled champagne. Are you already an oyster lover or maybe you want to try them for the first time? Then you’re definitely in the right place. You’ll find Karingo here, a unique oyster bar on the jetty on Käringön. If you’re a group (6-16 people) you can book a package with freshly harvested oysters, chilled champagne and a hot tub on the jetty.
Seasonal opening times for Karingo: Spring; mid-January to mid-June, and Autumn; August to mid-December. Closed in July.
More restaurants. Enjoy great fish and shellfish dishes at Peterson´s Krog or Käringöns Brygga, overlooking the harbour entrance.
- Don’t miss: On the island’s southern tip you can find Lotsutkiken, a tiny former pilot’s house just 10 square metres wide, with a structure that is as fascinating as it is striking.
- Accommodation tips: Lotshotellet is one of several places to stay on Käringön. If you want to take a day trip to Käringön we recommend staying on Orust – at Lådfabriken or Hotell Strana, both 10 km from Tuvesvik, or Tavlebords Honungsgård, about 15 km from Tuvesvik.
