SEE & DO WONDERFUL ROCK CARVINGS In Sotenäs there
are actually even more rock carvings than in Tanum and Vitlycke. They are just a bit more ”hidden”. In two places, however, it is easy to see these cryptic messages from ancient times. At Munkhögen in Tossene, between Bovallstrand and Nordens Ark, there is a rock with unique carvings. Here you can also find one of Bohuslän’s largest burial mounds, most likely from the middle of the Iron Age. At Åbyhällen near Nordens Ark, it is also easy to see rock carvings. You can get here without having to pay an entrance fee to the park. POPULAR FLEA MARKETS Great finds and other fun things can be found at flea markets and in Sotenäs there are of course several flea markets. In the summer they can pop up all over the place. Butik Springet in Kungshamn focuses on recycling and Nygatan in Kungshamn has a few flea markets/antique shops. Outside Hunnebostrand you can find Esters loppis and Svenneby Loppis&Kuriosa. Keep an eye out for flea market signs along the small roads and you might find the bargain of a lifetime. We reserve the right to make any changes. CULTURE AND HISTORY At the museum of stonemasonry in Hunnebostrand, you can see how granite was quarried in the past, when the stone industry was an important part of the construction of the new Sweden. It is managed by Sotenäsgillet, which is also responsible for other historically interesting buildings in Hunnebostrand, including Gammelgården and Mor Lenas stuga by Sotekanalen. www.sote.n.nu HIKING ON THE SIGNATURE TRAIL BOHUSKUSTEN Soteleden-Kuststigen offers really wonderful hiking experiences.
