Mollösund - Fiskebäckskil
Here you can step ashore straight into history:
25. Mollön: The island which has given its name to the sound - a sixteenth-century harbour with an abandoned burial site and Bronze Age cairns.
26. Mollösund: One of the oldest fishing villages. Many of the old buildings remain, fishermen's cottages, jetties, sheds and drying racks for the split fish.
27. Vedholmen: The old channel ran this way, and between Vedholmen, Vallerö, Tornö and Käringön there was a harbour. On Vedholmen an abandoned burial site, on Käringön bustling activity, houses, boathouses and shellfish.
28. Skållehus, Härmanö: The many ruins of small stone houses bear witness to a community that has died, but that flourished in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
29. Stora Risholmen: Up on the top of the island small piles of stones remind of the bare Bohuslän landscape of the nineteenth centuries, when every little patch of land had to be cleared to support a few more wisps of cereal or grass. Nearby is a memorial, formerly a war cemetery, to victims of the Battle of Jutland in 1916.
30. Fiskebäckskil: Stout but ornate, the houses of sea captains cluster along the picturesque streets and lanes, with endless views of the harbour and the waters that have brought the community its prosperity.
