What to expect
Mollösund is an old fishing village located on the southwest tip of Orust Municipality in the outer archipelago of Sweden's west coast. The area is home to approximately 277 year-round residents and is a popular tourist destination during the summer months. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery, go birding, running, or walking on the 1.5-mile out-and-back trail to the Mollösund lighthouse. The trail is considered easy and is open year-round. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. The village has a rich history, with records of permanent settlements dating back to the early 16th century, and was once a thriving fishing community with sailing ships transporting raw materials to and from the region
