    There isn't only cannons at the Fortress Roof. They also made holes in the wall to be able to shoot at people with arrows and cannons. But the holes sometimes looks like they are made from cannonballs.. and some is. So look closely if you're unsure.

    The fortress

  • You simply must tour this place. There's a museum that details the lifestyle of the area, from the early 1600's to the ancient date of 1989! ;)

    there is also a 'bog mummy', the corpse of a 13th-century man who died in the swamp and whose bones, organs, hair etc were well-preserved.

    If there ever was a must-see in Varberg, it's the fortress next to the ocean. It's built in the 13'th century, and is really beautiful.
    Also the home of 'Bockstensmannen' - a man from the 13-14'th century, found in a swamp fully clothed.

    Getterön Naturcentrum - Is such a beautiful place to see many types of birds, depending on the season. The new nature center building has a small cafe with tasty items, a gift shop with, very nice birding books, a nature center with several species of birds on display in natural looking environments, and a wonderful photo gallery with many photos for sale. The cafe has 2 scopes that you can use for free to look out onto the marsh and pond. The gift shop has binoculars for sale and you can test them out as well. There is such a nice hiking trail in the area which is quite easy to hike on and lends itself to some really nice picture taking! This was such a nice experience - check out www.getteron.com
