The Naturum Visitor Centre at Fjärås Bräcka is well worth a visit. You’ll also see Li grave field, one of the largest Viking burial sites in Sweden, with more than 100 standing stones. Up on Svalhögen, a gravel hill, there’s an unmissable spot with amazing views. The trail follows the old road, Förlandavägen, up on the Gothenburg moraine. People have been walking along this ridge for a thousand years. The views out over Skärsjön lake are stunning. The campsite for this section is at Äskhult.
