Overview of the Labyrinth at Ulmekärr, Tanumshede, potentionally as old as the Iron Age
An oak at Ulmekärr, and the hole where a gravestone stood until it was used in building a bridge on the 1800s
View of the burial field at Greby, Gebbestad, showing the typical flora of the dry lands. Legend states the graves (maybe more than 200) were Scottish warriors driven back during the early Viking age (~800), but the graves are from as early as 200-400

One of the most mysterious formations at Greby
Stone cist outside of Säm, Tanumshede, known as “Ludesten” as the roof leans into the burial chamber. It is from the younger stone age, about 3000 B.C.

The old Kingsroad (Kungsvägen) is small now, but was once a main road. Carolus Rex and his army marched along it 1718 when going towards Norway, and again back with the King in his coffin. The road is mentioned as early as the 1500s
This wall lays alongside the road towards the farmstead Hogar, unknown age
Herrebron (the bridge of the Lord) over Hogarälven was rebuilt in stone during the late 1700s, but is described in texts as early as the 1500s
The winding Hogarälven, a short distance from the old E6
Another shot of Hogarälven, this time focusing on the beautiful roots of an oak
Beyond the line of trees you almost see the old E6. This kind of natural stone slab is typical for the Bohuslän nature
