Bohuslän, Traditional province in western Sweden
The region encompasses 8,000 islands and skerries along Sweden's west coast, stretching from Gothenburg to the Norwegian border with numerous fishing communities.
Initially under Norwegian control in the 9th century during Harald Fairhair's reign, Bohuslän transferred to Swedish jurisdiction through the Peace of Roskilde in 1658.
The Tanum rock carvings, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, display thousands of Bronze Age petroglyphs depicting daily life and rituals.
Visitors can explore the region through an extensive network of hiking trails, including Bohusleden and Kuststigen, connecting various coastal settlements.
The region contains Sweden's sole threshold fjord, Gullmarsfjorden, which supports diverse marine species and provides opportunities for scientific research.
