Långekärr: Trails, Art and Island Views

The area around Långekärr offers a variety of options for excursions. On Dyrön, two trails differ in length and route, while Pilane combines open landscapes with guided visits.

Trails and landscapes

The old road between Långekärr and Limhall follows the former main road between the two places.

On Dyrön, the yellow trail loops around the island and is about five kilometres long; the blue trail runs north to south over the hills and is 1.6 kilometres long. The two routes can be compared as an island loop and a north–south route, with the blue trail being shorter.

In Pilane, visitors can roam freely or follow well-trodden paths across meadows and hills. From the hilly area, there are views across the Västerhavet and the Bohuslän archipelago. Pilane also offers guided visits, which must be booked in advance. Check the booking details before your visit.

Art, history and activities

The rock carvings at Basteröd depict a fleet of 15 ships.

The Nordic Watercolour Museum presents exhibitions from around the world. It offers short introductory painting sessions as well as three-day courses led by artists. For planning purposes, a short introduction differs considerably from a three-day course. Individual exhibitions change; dates and availability for events and courses may also vary. Check the current programme if a particular offering is important to your trip.

Kajaktiv Tjörn offers kayak rentals, guided tours and courses in the nearby area. Check booking details and availability for your chosen dates.

Ferry connection and regional setting

Härön can be reached by ferry from Kyrkesund. If you are planning an excursion, check the ferry timetable in advance.

The wider area on Tjörn brings together smooth granite expanses, high hills, wooded valleys, flowering coastal meadows, barren rocky islands and winding gravel roads. For excursions, you can choose between different landscape highlights: flowering coastal meadows and barren rocky islands contrast with wooded valleys and high hills.

A 44-kilometre cycling loop runs through north-western Tjörn along roads influenced by the sea and rural roads. Check the route conditions before setting out.
