Tips from the Community
Vassbovik is the standard end point of the 11th stage of the Bohusleden long-distance trail and, by extension, the start of the 12th stage to Glimmingen. The next 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from here are relatively straightforward, taking you through woodland and agricultural landscapes.

On a weekend in mid-July, the "Fallens dagar Festival" takes place here annually. During this oldest city festival, the dam sluices are opened for three consecutive days.

Great road with a great view. Alternative to the parallel road of the highway. When I drove here there was little traffic.

A steep limestone climb, tackled step by step via a narrow staircase, leads you up through the heart of the Åkeströms Nature Reserve. It’s a short stretch, but one that gets your heart pumping and your legs working. As you climb, the forest slowly opens up around you. And once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a quiet sense of space, fresh air, and views that make every step worth it.
