Hike in Tanum’s World Heritage Site

Vitlycke Museum is the visitor center for the Tanum Rock Carvings World Heritage Site, which is an 11-minute drive from the hotel. Directly adjacent to the museum is the most famous rock carving in Scandinavia. You can learn more about the rock carvings and the time they come from in the museum’s exhibition. During the summer months there are daily guided tours to the rock carvings and in the Bronze Age farm you can try your hand at crafts and shoot a bow and arrow.

Hike along the 6-kilometer hiking trail that is a trail for cultural experience and wellness. A unique experience among rocky outcrops in an agricultural landscape with an 8000-year-old continuous settlement and its rich flora. Discover the amazing rock carvings along the trail. The exhibition tells you more about the rock carvings and Bronze Age life.
