| Varberg from the fortress |
Varberg deserves a break in your journey if only to see the 13th century fortress and the great views of the sea and the town that it offers. I am not too fond of all kinds of defensive constructions but we found the museum in the fortress most interesting.
In the 19th century Varberg was a well-known resort with its own baths. The bathhouse is still there, but for warmer days there are also many bathing and surfing places on the coast south of the town. There is a regular ferry connection between Varberg and Grena in Denmark. |

Fascinated with the story of the Bocksten Man. Your picture looks like he is preserved where he was found, in the pete bog, but you did say he was now in the museum. | Trekki Tue Oct 14, 2008 06:02 UTC
Thanks Ewa, the museum sounds very interesting :-)) I'll be in Sweden next summer (for a famous birthday, lol) and Halland's Län is one of my destinations :-) Ahh, murder and crime, I really like this :-) | matcrazy1 Mon Feb 5, 2007 14:08 UTC
Great page as your usual. Interesting fortress with a view! I like your tip on King Karl XII's button. | starship Thu Aug 17, 2006 15:09 UTC
You are right!! Bocksten Man and the Tollund Man circumstances seem quite similar -- except the red, curly hair!! All Kind Karl XII's plight is interesting story as well. Great page! |
