Åhus, Coastal town in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden
Located along the Baltic Sea shores, Åhus extends across sandy beaches and features medieval architecture throughout its cobblestone streets.
The settlement originated as a trading post during the late Iron Age and received town privileges in 1149, maintaining its medieval walls until present day.
The town holds large beach handball tournaments and Swedish Eel-parties during August and September, when participants consume smoked eel with schnapps.
The population of 9,840 residents increases threefold during summer months as tourists arrive to experience the beaches of Helgeå and Hanöbukten area.
Åhus serves as the exclusive production site for Absolut Vodka, with dedicated railway tracks transporting the spirits from the local distillery.
