Mönster

At the southern tip of the Onsala peninsula, on cape Mönster, there’s a beautiful nature reserve called Hållsundsudde-Sönnerbergen. Here, you can hike across red rocks and meadows by the sea, past inlets and lookouts. It’s a partially tough hike, along well-worn trails. At the top of Mönster, you’ll reach an old pilot look-out tower, where you’ll have an amazing view of the open sea, with the Nidingen lighthouse and bird station to the southwest. On the cape, there are also several ancient monuments, such as cairns, labyrinths and a burial ground, called the Danish cemetery. In summer, you can, of course, take a swim from the rocks or from the jetty at the old pilot houses.
