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.

In the Middle Ages, Bohus Fortress was considered one of the largest, most massive and impregnable fortresses in Northern Europe. The fortress was the southernmost border fortress in Norway, built in 1308 by the Norwegian King Håkon V. Magnusson. The fortress is located on a 40 metre high cliff on the island of Bagaholmen. At that time, Bagaholmen was surrounded by the River Göta and lay at the intersection of the three neighbouring kingdoms (Norway to the west, Sweden to the east and Denmark to the south). From the fortress there was good control over shipping on the river.

Walk around the fortress and listen to the walls telling their stories of kings, saints, power struggles, traitors and prisoners.
