HANÖ
Take an excursion to the popular excursion destination of Hanö. Take the ferry from Nogersund and visit the fabled island that thrives on nature experiences. Hanö is a nature reserve and here there are many attractions, including the lighthouse, the dragon mark, the English cemetery and the bean bag. There is also a museum, the Bödeboden, which is open during the summer with a nice exhibition about the island's nature, history, fishing and culture. If you get hungry, Restaurant Briggen is always close at hand, right by the harbor wharf with a lovely view of the sea.

RYSSBERGET
Have you seen the movie about the Brothers Lionheart? It could have been shot on the slopes of Ryssberget. In the beautiful nature reserve you will find nice fishing waters in the Grundsjön with planted rainbow salmon, several lovely hiking trails and cute little crofts and farms. Ryssberget is the home of many animals and insects and therefore full of life. Bring the coffee basket or use the barbecue areas that are available and enjoy the beautiful nature.

SÖLVESBORG BRIDGE
With its 756 meters, the Sölvesborg Bridge is a landmark for Sölvesborg but also Europe's longest pedestrian and cycling route, that alone is worth a visit! Sit down and enjoy the view or go over to Kaninholmen where the bridge stops and see the city from afar, don't forget the coffee basket. The bridge connects Sölvesborg's city center and the new district Ljungaviken together, which contributed to significant proximity. The choice to take the bike or walk to get to work, entertainment or the beach now feels more natural than ever, and you can also take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful views along the way.
