many visitors who once landed there are extremely surprised for the stunning
beauty of that fabulous Nordic territory.
That very pleasant Swedish centre situated in the
County of Halland on the shore of the North Sea with its
approximately 40,000 inhabitants is located at 45, 0 kilometres north of the
attractive city of Hamlstad and 105, 0 kilometres south of the wonderful
Göteborg, the 2nd major centre of the country just behind the
capital Stockholm in a very
strategic geographic position as a magnificent gateway open to a
land rich of history with a very captivating past, a stupendous nature and with endless opportunities of wonderful routes and itineraries for every taste.
That splendid town boasts in its boundaries
Skrea Strand, a popular and well known beach which was awarded as one of
the most beautiful of the entire Kingdom included in the top ten at national level with
the presence of a constant blue flag since a long time ago, a stunning sandy coastal stretch simply impressive also for the outstanding services and facilities it offers for the joy of a multitude of visitors.
Falkenberg is in addition located on the banks of the Atran River, a beautiful waterway surrounded by splendid forests and a fascinating verdant
countryside which are all together a charming frame and a great incentive to practise al around that scenic territory many outdoor activities such as trekking, cycling, mountain bike, fishing, rowing and canoeing among others.
All that makes that centre a very distinguished

winter is a special season in which a visitor can organise a trip there
discovering a wide range of attractions and a more than interesting cultural

Notable is the offer of comfortable Hotels and

tourism along a marvellous coast and in the undulated interior crossing a
stupendous uncontaminated Nordic woodland which is as a special spot of the entire county capturing the
attention of photographers for its perfect, immaculate and intact preservation.
The presence of a delicious cuisine is another great
aspect which completes a large fan of proposals next to very kind and polite
locals always ready to welcome the tourists. You can breathe there furthermore a
very calm and peaceful atmosphere, no traffic and noise and that combination
sea & countryside is something of extremely attractive next to an
absence of contamination and a very well conserved environment, natural and
architectural.
Sweden is a country which in terms of incoming tourism
is greatly advanced, offering excellent services, the Tourism Offices
everywhere you are always provide all the most detailed information to
discover and know the most important and relevant sites an incentive for a tourist to visit more and more sites with enthusiasm also for those many suggestions received, a detail certainly more than appreciated.
Including the local Tourism Board in minor centres offer all the needs for a traveller to enjoy the most relevant excursions in the
immediate surroundings of a destination and in the case of Falkenberg all that
is largely confirmed with the chance to collect everything about all the most
interesting places to visit in the immediate vicinity and the entire region.
Those wonderful services permit the visitor to explore
and learn more about a territory
which is a mine of stunning surprises, the western coast of that country a bit underrated and for many unknown is simply
wonderful and highly scenic with a magnificent succession of stunning inlets, headlands and small bays to immortalise in hundreds of superb pictures.You can visit sites of notable interest such as Varberg, Küngsbacka, Vessigebro, Arstad and
Vinberg very attractive and all themnot far from Falkenberg.
The history of that municipality is another superb highlight and it is extremely
captivating. The entire county was inhabited since the bronze
age and after archaeological excavations which took place in
the current municipal boundaries were found several artifacts consisting in metals, different
kinds of objects, utensils and carved
stones, all symbols of an ancient civilisation who populated those lands certifying a relevant and very active life in those times.
Many are the historic chronological events which highlighted the local territory attesting the
relevance of the current centre which was since the Middle Ages theatre of
several battles, long disputes and claims for a very long time among the three
big Scandinavian Kingdoms such as Sweden, Norway and Denmark, protagonists of several clashes to obtain the domain of that desired land.
Falkenberg for its location facing the Danish coasts
and strategically located on the road leading to Göteborg and Norway with a
very easy access to the Lahomsbukten Gulf and the promontory of
Bastad often generated dreams of conquest by those Nordic Reigns to incorporate a strategic gate under their influences.Those Scandinavian Kings strongly desired to have in their Realms that hallway in a unique geographic point with many chances to develop new
routes and trades of extreme relevance and ideal site to create a
prosperous and flourishing economy.
In medieval times and especially in a period
corresponding to the 13th century
Falkenberg and its surroundings were invaded by King Hakkon IV of Norway who
decided to establish in that time new ports on the North Sea to connect
directly the Norwegian coasts to those of Sweden expanding alongside the North Sea an already powerful Reign.
On the other side the enemy was the King of Sweden
Magnus I who had the intention to enlarge the borders of his domains incorporating in its
territories all the current county of Halland which for a long time was an
independent land never included in that Kingdom in
continuous expansion.
Those several disputes and clashes between those two
countries called a third contender: the Reign of Denmark. In that period that nation under rule of King Eric
VI understood that the and that region were also for him more than ideal places to extend their fame and prestige in Northern
Europe with new conquests connecting that important coastal stretch directly to
the nearest Danish harbours creating a wide and strategic maritime network in
the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Obtaining that Southern Swedish centre the Danes could establish a direct link to the Kattegat with the towns
of Frederikshavn at north, Hals facing Falkenberg and Grenaa
situated in front of Halmstad having in that way a large domain in a corner of the North
Sea dominating a vast maritime space and with the chance to organise in strategic and different harbours a powerful fleet with many points of reference.
Along that littoral Denmark could manage several new maritime operations in a
focal point with also the chance to establish apart important military and
commercial bases the chance to increase its already consolidated fishing herring
activity which in those times was among the most flourishing in the entire
European Continent.
Falkenberg which was occupied by the Swedes was conquered by the Danes after a long siege and they erected in its boundaries a fortress
on the Atran river. All that was
the beginning of a further long war against Sweden with times characterised by endless episodes consisting in the elevation of bastions, constant attacks, incursions and long tenacious defences,
landing of troops by sea and that clash was furtherly expanded across all the local
territory including in the interior.
The Swedes never accepted that Danish influence which
also had integrated Norway in its Reign on a territory that was historically and
culturally considered more Swedish for historic cultural and territorial reasons and
furthermore that conflict was also enlarged for other causes and one the main relevant
was fishing but not specifically focused to the previously mentioned herring which had a secondary effect.
The Atran is a waterway well known to be very rich of salmon
and that was the real reason to have a monopoly of that product
which since those ancient times was already sold in important markets and
it was considered a unique source of a prosperous economy which was creating since those times a notable
business also for its price and quality.
All that generated in the local boundaries several
fights between those two Realms and all linked to that the Danish stronghold erected on the shore of that claimed waterway protagonist of an intense and long
siege and later totally devastated by the Swedish troops and today just some
small traces of the foundations of that famous site are visible.
Further clashes and a very tense period was highlighted
including by three treaties, one of them took
place in Brömesbro in 1645 which
determined the retirement of the Danish Army, that meeting was the prelude which decided the destiny of the
current town.A further treaty was afterwards celebrated 30 years later in the
famous city of Roskilde in Denmark. In that event was sanctioned
the fate and future of the entire county which was definitively incorporated in
the Kingdom of Sweden with the renounce of Denmark to future claims.
There is also a suggestive Nordic narration linked to
that former disappeared fortress: the legend of Atrajungfrun. It said that when the Swedes were burning that fort according to a legend a maid hid a treasure
in an underground tunnel and a
servant locked it in a room but the walls fell and that hiding place was
totally destroyed.
That story tells in that the spirit of a rooster is watching the treasure keeping it safe with its magical powers invisible to the human eyes but in the case it could be discovered the rooster will crow and the servant hand over it from that site.
That story tells in that the spirit of a rooster is watching the treasure keeping it safe with its magical powers invisible to the human eyes but in the case it could be discovered the rooster will crow and the servant hand over it from that site.
That historic town under Swedish rule had a notable development after those events and it obtained the
title of Town Market living historic golden ages. Thanks to all that it
increased in a short time its fame which continued for a long time
becoming one of the most known centres in Southern Sweden devoted to a large variety
of trades, such as fish, fabric, wheat and other products and transformed in a
relevant cross point of several businesses by sea and road.
In addition Falkenberg in the same period was elevated as a very active
fishing centre and also relevant was the beginning of a flourishing artistic
life with the establishment of different monument since the 15th century but
especially between the 17th and 19th centuries when there was a notable construction
of historic buildings which are still present as patrimony heritage of the
community.
The name of that coastal town as in many other places
has generated some debates about its origin also in consequence of the Danish
occupation and with controversial opinions.One version tells it probably derives
from that famous fortress but there are others. The denomination Falkenberg
translated from Swedish language is the composition of two words such as Falken
meaning Falcons and Berg which means mountain or high hill, so mountain of the
falcons or hawks.
A further one is related to a hypothesis that it was a
place dedicated to the falconry developed by the Danes in medieval times
but an old book written in the 18th
century called Hallandia Antiqua et Odierna a sort of Encyclopedia
written in Swedish collecting and recording all the historic information of the
land according to several historic information obtained after numerous studies and
meticulous researches declared that those two previously mentioned versions
were unfounded.
It was certain existed on a local hill a presence of falcons but not that activity and neither the name of the old fortress which was a further remote supposition.

Falkenberg has as many old Swedish cities and towns its Gamla Stan, a name which immediately reminds that famed and emblematic quarter
of Stockholm but it is a denomination which generally classifies an old Swedish historic
centre.
You can start the visit from that charming place
called Falkenberg Gamla Stan lying between two bridges established
on the river Atran such as Peter Abergs Vag next to
Falkenberg Museum and another one established on the northern shore
representing an iconic symbol of the municipality, the Tullbron, the
toll bridge which represented for a long time the emblem of the wealthy and
prosperous trade of that centre.
That historic icon links two important avenues
as Brogatan which directly leads to the railway station and Halmstadvagen,
an important artery consisting in a strategic urban axis connecting the central
core to the immediate outskirts and extra radius of the municipality.
That district is a very fascinating and attractive borough with a series of coloured wooden houses erected on a maze of
picturesque cobblestone streets and one of its main highlights apart that
charming and captivating architectural and scenery very well preserved is
Falkenberg Museet which deserves a visit because it is a perfect introduction of many stages in more contemporary times of the town.
That Exhibition displays the chronological history of
the local life related to the last 60 years with an exhaustive
illustration of the main activities of the community and including a very interesting permanent
section devoted to the historic
development of the Railway in its boundaries, a shoemaker´s shop and it is also great to see all the
changes in those decades until the most recent times thanks to the presence of
some pictures taken in different periods.
In Storgatan, a street located at a very short distance
from that interesting museum you can admire Sankt Laurentii Kyrka which
is one of the historic local religious symbols elevated on the soil of Falkenberg. That splendid Church dating back the Middle Ages was
erected in the 14th century but
largely destroyed in the 15th century
in that notorious war between Sweden and Denmark.
Restored and rearranged during the 17th and 18th century further works and changes took place in the early 20th century changing its former architectural Gothic image and that Lutheran Religious temple was also for a period used as a sporting hall returning to its original role in 1928 and dedicated to St. Lawrence.

The current construction consists in a long white low
building developed on a large irregular rectangular plan with a scenic red sloping roof and a series
of wide windows placed on the walls around its perimeter.
Very sober but at the same time refined for the fine composition of many details and also attractive is the contrast of colours but well balanced by elements placed in concrete positions and no artistic bizarre extravagance ruined the aspect of a building which is not rich of decorations but characterised by perfect lines and an outstanding symmetry in the entire layout.
Very sober but at the same time refined for the fine composition of many details and also attractive is the contrast of colours but well balanced by elements placed in concrete positions and no artistic bizarre extravagance ruined the aspect of a building which is not rich of decorations but characterised by perfect lines and an outstanding symmetry in the entire layout.
The main body of the Church is flanked by a high bell
tower greatly covered by a green copper dome with circular dark watches placed
around its perimeter, a presence loyal to the artistic and architectural concepts of the
finest artistic Swedish school for that use of specific material and surmounted by a square turret topped by a pinnacle.
The interior is highlighted by a long nave and it is very
luminous thanks to the presence of large windows placed beneath niches on the
sides transmitting lights to the interior and a stylish
chandelier hanging from a brown ceiling are further pleasant attractions. The
apse with the altar is not too big and pretty austere but greatly characterised by marked outlines and a fine double
arched window immediately behind the altarpiece.
Sankt Laurentii Kyrka is surrounded by a green
pleasant garden giving that Sacred Temple further appeal with that well cared verdant
space which is well combined and in perfect harmony with rest of the local environment.
In the same street at the civic number 69 you
can have the chance to admire the
oldest wooden house of the entire town Hinstromske Huset built in 1736 representing
in its kind a distinctive symbol and a gem of the local architecture.
In Nygatan, an artery just five minutes walking
from Storgatan and the previous Church you can admire probably the most
impressive and imposing building of the municipality : Falkenberg
Kyrka.
That majestic Religious Temple is a stunning construction dating back the late 19th century representing a
classical and superb example of Neo-Gothic Nordic style very loyal to the major
and predominant architectural canons used in Sweden in that period in terms of use
of materials, executions of lines, decorations, order in the layout, volume and height.
The front side of that beautiful Protestant Church is absolutely impressive, it was completely built using fine granite with a nave and a high
central tower. Wonderful is the imposing and huge sloping roof developed
in two sections one covering the main nave and the other established on its right
side.
Splendid are also the big stained glass windows
placed all around the walls of the structure and a spectacular highlight is
definitely the magnificent large wide rose window reminiscent a traditional and
classical Romanesque style an inspiration of many architects in that period
very active to embellish the facades of Churches and Cathedrals all around
Sweden. That kind of emblematic
element of the Middle Ages was often added in several structures in a sort of
revival, revaluing the beauty of medieval art in a more contemporary era.
The framed portal shows some relevant reliefs and ornaments and a further attraction is the majestic bell tower greatly highlighted by a long spire topped by a large cross and on its main facade was inserted a very scenic and big circular watch.
In a short walk from Falkenberg Turystbyra, the
local Tourism Office, excellent site
to collect information about the local surroundings filling your days during a
stay organising other great visits you can reach Sandgatan another
important street of the historic centre and once there worth a visit a very
interesting exhibition consisting in the Photo Museum Olympia hosted in
a building which previously housed a theatre erected in the early 20th century.
That museum displays a range of old models of cameras
some of them with tripod, artistic pictures and many old accessories linked to
the photography world, a great chance for those who are interested in that kind
of items and all that linked to that kind of activity admiring some superb examples which made the history of that kind of industry.
A further attraction is located in Krukmakaregatan
and it is Thörngren´s Pottery, a site which is an additional emblem of
the municipality but also part of the Swedish history of manufacture.
That establishment has a long history; it was opened
in 1789 and after many
generations continues to produce beautiful items and articles of notable value. For that long
tradition and the superb works made since its inception that distinguished
factory is considered a relevant local pride for its history, date of
foundation and excellent quality of its handmade objects very appreciated all
around the country.
In the past were also manufactured other kinds of items as tiled stoves while today the production continues with stylish decorative works but its reputation is still alive in Sweden for a great prestige which reached with its name a notable appreciation on national scale.

Tullbron is another distinctive monument
and it is that iconic stoned toll bridge built in the 18th century considered a distinctive landmark of the town for what it
represented since its construction on the Atran river.That structure certifies with its presence the notable
importance of that Swedish town since the times when Falkenberg
lived its unforgettable golden ages in terms of commerce and trades.
It took its name by a school called Tullsbroskolan and
it is nowadays greatly preserved. It was restored in some occasions in the 20th century, concretely in 1927 and
1994, years in which were managed the most important works of conservation.
In the course of its history that infrastructure has
always been an important point of communication in Southern Sweden and it
ceased its activity of toll bridge in 1914
but before that year it was an obliged transit along the most important commercial
routes of the County of Halland linking Göteborg to the northwestern coast.
It represents more than an icon because it elevated
the prestige and fame of Falkenberg at National level and it is still in use with
an average circulation of approximately 3,700/3800,
0 vehicles a day.
Close to that imposing construction are visible
some traces of the Old Danish fortress remembering the history of
a stronghold which was protagonist of years of notable history in the Middle
Ages.
The local area is an authentic paradise to enjoy an
endless list of great outdoor activities and the
magnificent natural environment is certainly a great invitation for visitors who love
nature in all its essence.
The Atram River is considered one of the best
places of the entire Scandinavia regarding salmon fishing and it
attracted since a long time ago apart a multitude of locals,
people coming from other corners of Sweden and including from abroad.
A British lawyer and writer from London W.M.
Wilkinson wrote a book in 1884 titled Days in Falkenberg mentioning
the life, the natural environment and of course the salmon fishing highlighting the catch of that kind of fish on that waterway declaring that it was better than two
iconic destinations as Canada and
Norway.
That literary work was undoubtedly a great promotion and many travellers
from Great Britain fond about fishing after reading the marvels narrated
by that gentleman decided to live that experience followed later by American citizens who also enjoyed that
activity along the shore of that Swedish water course.
The salmon fishing season endures some months it is
open from 1st April to the 30th September and it is permitted from Tullbron and two kilometres upstream to Laxbron, another local bridge.
On that river is also possible to practise other
activities as canoeing, a paradise also ideal to spend pleasant times along its shore admiring the wild and
uncontaminated nature and exploring in its proximity the local virgin forests through fairytale
paths which transmit an immense charm for their preserved image.
That wonderful site and that enchanting scenery
permits the tourists to discover the best image of the verdant countryside of
Southern Sweden and also cycling is another great experience admiring along
scenic routes beautiful landscapes and visiting small picturesque
villages in the immediate surroundings.
The opportunity to enjoy holidays and relaxing days
with a stay in comfortable wooden cottages immersed in splendid natural
corners is undoubtedly another great and attractive incentive choosing them as selected accommodations
in alternative to the excellent Hotels Falkenberg offers in its boundaries and in its immediate vicinity.
Another very trendy activity loved by many people is
the brilliant chance to play golf in splendid sites as Björnhult´s
Golf Club, a great and prestigious 18 hole Golf Course and also Falkenberg
Golf Club located in Skrea in proximity of the beach is another one highly
appreciated.
Those two beautiful complexes offer the opportunity to
enjoy that sport in magnificent environments in which an uncontaminated nature
is absolute protagonist and they are among the most quoted of the entire County
boasting a very high reputation also at national level.
The famous beach of Skrea, Skrea Strand is
situated just 3, 0 kilometres
from the town centre and crossing the bridge Peter Abergs Vag in less
than 10 minutes driving you can reach that splendid sandy stretch.
That site was originally a little independent
village incorporated in the municipality of Falkenberg which thanks to that
beautiful attraction became a popular destination for a very complete tourism.
That great beach boasts a length of approximately 2, 5
kilometres providing about 1,600 cabins, a pier 250, 0 metres
long, a constant blue flag, a very good quality of sand, clean waters, a magnificent maintenance and many services and facilities to practise water sports.
It is famous all around the country for its beauty and size,
very long and wide with the opportunity to enjoy wonderful relaxing walks and it
started to be frequented a long time ago.
Originally the local tourism started
to be developed especially focused to offer holidays as a curative resort sensitive to people with some diseases. All that began in 1917 when that wonderful site became very popular for the presence
of Tuberkoulusföeringen an Institution very active to cure the
tuberculosis.
Due to the high demand it received in the next decades
were built other services and structures such as a Hotel, some restaurants and
since then Falkenberg was elevated as a destination which could offer the brilliant attractive combination Seaside Resort, Spa &
cultural tourism in a nutshell.
That beautiful site also acquired further prestige for
its Klitterbadet, a famed bath which was built in 1969. Originally it was an outdoor
structure but later in the 80s
it was transformed in an indoor pool. Worth a special mention that complex is the
unique in Sweden providing salt
water and furthermore as notable detail is its relevant length of 50, 0
metres.
Very famous in the entire country it is one of the
symbols of the history of the local incoming tourism industry and those relevant
facilities obviously gave the resort an additional popularity generating
excellent incoming flows.
In that former village you can also a historic
monument consisting in Skrea Kyrka which is the local Parish Church. That Religious Lutheran site is a white building
dating back the mid 19th century
located in a splendid green area surrounded by several trees. It is
characterised by elegant and stylish architectonic lines and the main body is
embellished on its sides by charming stained glass windows.
Skrea Kyrka is subdivided in two sections, one block corresponds to the main structure developed on a long plan with an ample apse and a nave covered by a scenic sloping roof while the second consists to a towering construction developed on a square plan with a doorway as main entrance and on the top was placed a polygonal turret surmounted by a Cross.

Very interesting just
15 minutes away from Falkenberg in proximity of Varberg the presence of some dolmens in an area called Klastorp
with tombs dating back hundreds of centuries B.C. Nobody exactly knows the age
of that incredible big boulders but one thing is certain that they are a
relevant local historic patrimony.
That area is also beautiful to admire a scenic
coastline in direction of Göteborg with several inlets and sharp headlands
forming beautiful small bays and before to reach the town of Küngsbacka you
can admire many fabulous islets in the North Sea not far from the mainland. All
them are of an extreme beauty and the immediate interior is equally charming
packed by infinite verdant and stupendous forests with also several small
picturesque lakes.
Not far I suggest to visit a small centre called Tvaaker surrounded by a beautiful
green countryside and highlighted by a very peaceful atmosphere representing for its image the
most genuine and rural Sweden.
In its boundaries you can admire a beautiful
Church called Tvaakers Kyrka dating
back the 19th century, a magnificent representation of Nordic Romantic architectural style. Notable is the fine development of a large light body with big arched windows flanking on both sides the portal beneath a refined niche and a long beautiful grey roof.
Next to the Church was elevated a high splendid tower highlighted in its upper section by a huge double window under a wonderful spire dlanked by two decorative pinnacles and on its summit a Christian Cross.

That sacred building in addition is very famous because it was erected by the famous and talented architect Johan Fredrik Abom who also designed the famous Södra Teatern of Stockholm, one of the most iconic theatres of Sweden in the district of Södermalm. (In the case you are interested I wrote a post regarding that district of the Swedish Capital)
In the case you have some plans to visit that specific area of Sweden, I added below some links useful to take information about all the area and some suggested Hotels as accommodation during your stay.
The local gastronomy is excellent and obviously one of
the main gastronomic highlights is the famed delectable and always fresh salmon emblematic symbol of Falkenberg.
That delicious fish is prepared in many styles such as baked, smoked and one of
the most famous recipes is the popular Gravlax consisting in salmon
cured with salt, dill and sugar.
Very appreciated is also the Inkokt Lax, a
speciality in which that the salmon is boiled and prepared with an addition of
carrots, onion and spices. The Lutefisk is another typical plate, a kind
of very appreciated air dried stock fish while another pretty popular delight is the Klippfisk consisting in white fish before dried, then salted and served with salad
and potatoes.
You can also enjoy delicious seafood of great quality
and try the Fiskbullars, traditional white fish balls served with
vegetables. Very popular are also the famed herring and
one of the most traditional plate is the Surströmming in which that undisputable sea product is fermented
using a special process and it is considered a sort of icon in the local culinary art with
a very long tradition.
Notable is the fame regarding sausages and extremely
notorious are the Falukorv and Blodkorv which generally are grilled
or baked and accompanied by a variety of fresh vegetables or in alternative by
potatoes.The Prinskorv is another one; it is smaller
than the previous often eaten as snack or appetisers but also present in sandwiches or
a hot dogs flavoured by mustard or other kinds sauces.
A further popular plate is certainly the Stekt Fläsk which is a delectable roasted pork generally served with onions in slices and potatoes.Very traditional is also the Kroppkaka, a sort of gnocchi or dumplings made with potatoes and filled by bacon, pork meat and adding onion.

About desserts Sweden boasts a great quality of berries,

among the best in the world and by them there is a valuable production of jams and those fruits are also used in
the preparation of several cakes.
