North of Varberg the landscape changes – the sandy beaches become rocks and the first islands start to become visible: Getterön, Balgö and Vendelsö. The path takes you down to Bua harbour, a fishing hamlet where you can sample delicacies from the sea. From Frillesås the path goes along the coast through Vallersvik and then continues on the old rail

way embankment, where you can enjoy a car free stretch along the coast. Pause at one of the bathing beaches in Åsa for an ice cream at the cafe or coffee and a cake at the bakery. Take a detour to Tjolöholm Castle Sweden’s only Tudor castle. You carry on cycling alongside fields and equestrian centres. Take a break in Hanhals at Rolfsbron,

a beautiful arched stone bridge from the 1600s. In Kungsbacka, the path goes through the town, one of the biggest trade centres in western Sweden.
