Be sure to stop for a break at the café in the beautiful garden. The most beautiful spot there is the stone bench on the rock. From there, you have the best view. And the rhubarb crumble cake is absolutely delicious.

Located on a hill in the village of Fjällbacka, Fjällbacka Church is an imposing building visible from afar. Built in 1892 in neo-Gothic style, the church was initially supposed to be made of wood, but the scarcity of this material in the area led to the choice of stone.

The walk up is definitely worth it, the crevice with the boulders is impressive and the view from the top of Vetteberget over the harbor and the coastal region is fantastic.

Svenneby Gamla Kyrka Medieval church in Svenneby Svenneby Gamla Kyrka is located outside the village Svenneby in the extreme south of the municipality Tanums Kommun. It is one of the oldest churches in the historical province of Bohuslän on the west coast of Sweden. Svenneby Gamla Kyrka was built at the beginning of the 12th century in Romanesque style and originally consisted of a nave with a smaller choir room. It is situated in an unusual location directly in front of a steep rock face that towers a few metres above the church. High up on the cliff is the wooden belfry of the church, which houses the 13th century bell. The church from inside and outside The church is 17 metres long, nine metres wide and the stone walls are between one and two metres thick. Originally, the church had only small wall openings instead of windows, which allowed little light to enter. It was not until the beginning of the 18th century that the windows on the south side were brought to their present size. In the same century the wooden vestibule was added, the present pews were installed and the wooden tunnel vault was added as a ceiling. In 1741 the ceiling paintings with biblical motifs were created, framed by lavish ornamentation. A little older is the pulpit decorated with painted carvings, which dates back to the baroque period in the 17th century. The baptismal font dates back to the 13th century, is made of soapstone and is decorated in the upper part with arcades and a peculiar irregular ornamentation. The altar consists of a finely worked granite slab and is as old as the church itself. A church becomes Gamla Kyrka For more than 800 years, Svenneby Gamla Kyrka was the centre of the village Svenneby. Gradually, however, the centre of the village shifted northwards and when a new church was built there, the old church (Gamla Kyrka) of Svenneby outside the village was out of use for the time being with the last service on December 5, 1915. After the old church had not been used for several decades, it was consecrated again in 1982. From 2015 to 2017 the church, which was threatened by severe dilapidation, was restored from the bottom up, largely recreating its medieval character. During the summer months from midsummer to the end of September the Svenneby Gamla Kyrka is used for occasional church services and is otherwise open to visitors.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, the rock sites of Tanum are among the most accomplished artistic expressions of prehistoric art in Northern Europe. Very numerous and underlined in red to be more visible to ordinary mortals, these thousands of engravings are displayed on large slabs of granite. They are fascinating because they represent many scenes, but also many humans and animals. They were created at the beginning of the Bronze Age, more than 2000 years before Christ. These petroglyphs were discovered in the 17th century. Many sites around the museum are visible, and you can easily spend the day exploring.
