High above Fjällbacka you will find Vetteberget and from the highest point you have a fantastic view of both the archipelago and the mainland. The rock is divided into Stora and Lilla Vetteberget through the splendid Kungsklyftan. Here, parts of the movie Ronja Rövardotter was recorded. The Ramneklovan or Kungsklyftan got their current names after a visit from Oscar II in 1887, which also put his signature on the mountain wall at the northern entrance. On the top of the mountain there is also a hiking trail. Vetteberget and Kungsklyftan are part of the coastal path.

Tjurpannan The name means “bulls head” in English and is located southwest of Havstenssund. The area lacks a protective outer archipelago and belongs to one of the most prominent mainland parts of the coast of Bohuslän. The western part of the area is characterized by steep cliff beaches, here and there broken coves with blocks, gravel and in some cases sandy beaches. The exposed situation havs shaped a very open hedge and hills landscape that still exists. The area is easily accessed and the many high cliffs offer magnificent views over the archipelago to the horizon in the southwest. A visit to Tjurpannan during a windy storm is a special experience. However, for those who intend to go for fishing or swim from the rocks, calm weather is necessary
To get here: road 163 towards Grebbestad, after that towards Havstenssund. 4 km north of Grebbestad, left at sign "Nature Reserve". Pass the camp site and drive further 250 m.
