Fiskebäckskil

Bohuslän


Passenger/cyclist-only ferry 847 (25kr) crosses the Gullmarn fjord roughly hourly to Fiskebäckskil, of the cute cobbled streets and wood-clad houses. The interior of its church recalls an upturned boat, with votive ships and impressive ceiling and wall paintings. Fiskebäckskil is also reachable by road from the E4 and Tjörn.
