The holiday home is beautifully situated at the "Tjuvahålan" near the village of Tylösand, 10 km from Halmstad (at the coast
of Kattegatt). The "Tjuvahålan" (the thief's cavern) has it's own thrilling story. In the middle and the end of the 19th century
coast guard officers lived here, combating the smugglers who landed their contraband in the vicinity. The home is suitable for
children and has it's own beach. The possibilities of fishing are good and during the late summer and autumn there is an abundance

large beach-lot, is our holiday home with two dwelling - houses, store house and boat-hoses. There is a lot of fishes in the sea such

4. Barösund
Barösund is situated on the island of Kättilö in the archipelago of Gryt, about 80 km south-east of Norrköping. Here you should go if

islands in the outer archipelago. You live in the old customs houses, the oldest from 1780, still with modern standard. You can park your car
at Fyrudden and go to Barösund by boat, which you have to order in connection with the booking.

as the customs- and coast guard officers lived at the former turn of century. There is a freshwater pump on the site and in the out-door toilet
you may find old weekly magazines. The house lies very near the Skagerack and you need not come empty-handed from the fishing-trip. There are salmons,
lobsters and crabs in the waters just outside.

be fetched from Nordby. But it is worth that trouble when you can enjoy the fantastic surroundings, the cliffs and the rocks, the fishing, the sun and
the deep-clear salt water that can be offered only by the west coast.
