Cosy fishing villages

Along the Hälsinge coastline there is a string of fishing villages which offer a lovely image of an ancient industry and culture. The fishing was mainly done by the bourgeoisie, living by the coast during the summer and on the mainland during winter. Herring and salmon were the main catches.
As the shoreline moved due to tectonic uplift, the fishing villages have moved through the centuries, but some are still there today. By Kuggören and Hölick you will find the traditional pebble fields and beaches, as well as hiking trails.  Agön, with its grand lighthouse, is a popular location for swimming and hiking. The fishing villages date back to the 1500s and the fisherman’s chapels are still in use.
