Ärholmen - Altarholmen
Here you can step ashore straight into history:
19. Ärholmen: Sweden's only lighthouse gas plant, 1918-1965. The fine building is quite intact. 20. Pater Noster: Visit the barren group of islands whose name is a reminder of treacherous waters. See Heidenstam's magnificent lighthouse.

21. Klädesholmen: Huddling coastal settlement of a kind found only in Bohuslän. Living fish-canning industry with ancient roots. Buy pickled herring straight from the cannery.
22. Toftö: Mariners' cemetery and bays with a fearful history of plundered wrecks. Picturesque cultural landscape, old building foundations and grazing animals.
23. Kyrkesundet: The typical coastal settlement on both sides of the sound with the close association of boat-jetty-boathouse-dwelling is a delight to the eye. Lighthouses, ferry and beacons here all bear the name of Saint Olav.
24. Altarholmen: Former pilot station which was dismantled in 1903 and moved to Tistlarna in Gothenburg's southern archipelago. Unusually solid foundations of the little village out in the sea survive.
