The Dalsland canal is considered to be one of Europe's most beautiful waterways since it largely consists of natural lakes are linked by locks and small waterways. The Dalsland canal is rather like a string of pearls - small and large lakes, coves and fjords joined together by 12 kilometers of man-made canal. (20 Km from the B&B)

islands hopping
The West Coast has hundreds of islands, most of them inhabited. A system of public ferries can bring you from one island to another at a very fair price and with a high dose of fun. Visit Åstol, Vrangö or Käringö for a great West Coast experience.
rock carvings
At the Bronze age, the sea level was slightly higher and people of the time used to carve the rocks by the shores with very specific drawings. This is now a UNESCO World Heritage site with its center in Tanum: the Vitlycke Museum. (90 Km from the B&B)
historical mansions
There are many "Herrgård" (mansions) in the countryside of Dalsland but Baldersnäs is probably the most romantic of all. Ideally situated on a peninsula on Laxsjön, the manor is a great place for a romantic walk in the parc before a dinner (or just a fika!). (15 Km from the B&B)
