Falkenberg

Falkenberg is a fascinating little town on Sweden’s Baltic coast, popular with holidaymakers who come to Sweden to shop, enjoy a seaside holiday, or indulge in canoeing, fishing, deep-sea fishing, hiking and nature. Even without the many opportunities for excursions in Falkenberg, Sweden, this coastal town is alluring for its style, romantic charm and welcoming hospitality.

On arrival, the host of a holiday apartment in Falkenberg always greets guests with a warm welcome. Once you have settled into your holiday apartment, your vacation becomes a journey through the Swedish province of Halland and the wonderfully rural region around the Ätran Valley. It is a holiday paradise for canoeing in Sweden and, with five golf courses, a destination for golfers on Sweden’s west coast. Falkenberg is also often described as a place of entertainment, and it is said that holidays here are possible all year round.

There is always something to discover. The Ätran River and the Fegen lake system alone make up an impressive, romantically wild region of forests and meadows, popular with hikers, horse-riding holidaymakers in Sweden and nature lovers—and, of course, a real delight for paddlers. Exploring this system by canoe, away from the Baltic coast near Falkenberg, usually takes four days, and the excellent network of holiday apartments in Falkenberg makes it easy to do. By the way, where the clean air refreshes you and crystal-clear water flows through a wooded landscape, anglers—and the salmon they catch—are never far away. City-break visitors know that the name Falkenberg actually comes from the hunting falcons once bred here and a castle that stood opposite the town. Today, the name lives on in the well-known Falcon Brewery, which is also open for tours. The low-ceilinged workshop rooms of Törngrens Krukmakeri still preserve traces of pottery-making that date back to 1789.

Ultimately, Falkenberg in Sweden has such a wealth of things to offer that it is difficult to list them all here. With its cultural attractions, amusement park, 15-kilometre-long beach and unique microclimate, Falkenberg also makes a wonderful Baltic coast holiday destination for families with children.
