Welcome to West Sweden more specifically our popular hiking trail named, Bohusleden. Live in our Ocean view cottage and enjoy having the ocean as your neighbor in the quiet fishing village of Grönemad, Grebbestad, between Gothenburg and Oslo. Once you have checked into the cottage a dinner of local seasonal food is prepared for you. After breakfast the following day we find a suitable track that you can hike depending on your preference and condition.
We recommend that you bring suitable outdoor clothes, wind breaker, layer-on-layer and good steady shoes. It is also a good idea to bring your camera since you will pass many nice views along the trail. We will provide you with a food pack and traditional “Swedish fika” (coffee/tea and cake) that you can enjoy during the day. The key for a successful day is a full stomach, good shoes and clothes.
Choose between a self guided Island Hike or a self guided hike along the Bohusleden trail section 23, section 26 or section 27. Combine this with a half day hike along the coast at the popular nature reserved of Tjurpannan or Veddö which is close by the cottage.
Self guided Island Hike
Experience and explore the archipelago by foot. We have a boat that takes you out into a maze of islands and sherries. We drop you off on a island of your choice. A popular island for hiking is the natur reserve Otterön where you will find nice beaches, historical and cultural remains, walking paths, unique animals and plants. If you are lucky you can spot a mouflon sheep. We will provide you with a map, a picnic and agree on a time suitable for pickup and return to the mainland. Now you can wander off and explore and experience the island on your own.
