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

Activities: We adored Mollösund! We discovered a mini Wisteria Lane with its flowered alleys, colorful houses, and a small mill.
