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” (coffe/tea and cake) that you can enjoy during the day. The key for a successful day is a full stomach.
Three guided half day walks by the ocean, aprox 1-3 hours each and enjoy lunch at our favorite local restaurant which is presented in the prestigious White Guide. Follow our local guides that will show you their sweet spots in our beautiful area. In two days you will discover two nature reserves located by the ocean, Tjurpannan and Veddö, as well as our secret favorite hike in the picturesque fishing village Havstenssund. An easy, accessible alternative for all of you that enjoy hikes in a comfortable pace and everyone that is new to hiking. It also places lower demands on the equipment. If you want an extra Corona friendly alternative, follow the guide in your own car.
After a full day of hiking we will return to the Ocean view cottage where dinner will be served. After dinner you can enjoy the the magnificent view. This genuine guesthouse is made for relaxation and to enjoy, experience the nature and the archipelago. Just around the corner you can enjoy the walking on granite rocks and see traces from the stone masonry. The house is situated within walking distance from the ocean, on clear days you can spot the Weather islands which is the most western you can get in Sweden.
