Things to Do  

Arild Chapel

Arild Chapel, Arild

 Sjalen Says:  The smallest little chapel I've come across in Sweden! Not always open but can be admired from the outside too of course. It is probably from the 16th century and built by fishermen who wanted somewhere to pray. Craftsmen, but not church builders, have built it. Only drowned... 

Nimis and Arx

Nimis and Arx, Arild

 Sjalen Says:  Seaside art! Or is it? These are the most controversial pieces of art in Sweden. Built by drift wood, Nimis was constructed without any permission and on private land. The landowner and the county council has fought the artist but so far, Nimis is still standing and has now...

Flickorna Lundgren: World's best cakes and lemonade, Arild

 Sjalen Says:  As haussed up as this place is in Swedish tourist circles, I was still impressed once I got here! The sisters Lundgren (who started the cafe when they thought they would otherwise have to sell the farm) no longer run the place, but one of their son's do. He has stuck to the...

Arild village

Artist Vilks and friends had enough of being chased for illegally building Nimis and Arx on the rocky shores north west of Arild and have created an independent state of Ladonia, with Nimis and Arx as the main cities, their own national hymn and so on. Taxes are paid by giving away some of your creativity! Read more at the website below.

As elsewhere on the Kullaberg peninsula, cliffs are very steep and you should take particular care if with small children.
