The walk starts through beautiful forest landscape on an old customs path. In the past, customs officers guarded the Norwegian border, 1 km to the east. Border control started after the dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway in 1905 and ended after the Second World War.

The trail goes through hilly terrain, with fresh forest scents and tremendous views over large and small watercourses. The trail abruptly turns away from the fjord shore and takes you along the country road for the last stretch to Krokstrand.

The countryside rises and the trail goes along the ridge between the lakes Husebotjärn and Sandvatten. The views are magnificent and reach as far as the eye can see all the way to the sea in west.

Lake Sandvatten is excellent for bathing, complete with wind shelter and grill area. Take a dip, water temperature permitting.

Soon you will be walking though an elevated area with views over Idefjorden, before a steep descent towards the fjord. A Norwegian trail, once called the Border Trail and now part of the Kuststigen Trail, joins here.

Krokstrand is an old stonecutting community reminding us of the typical Bohuslän industrial era, from the late 19th century to the mid-1970’s. Here you will see the first Folkets Hus (People’s Palace) in the country, built in 1902.
 During the stonemasonry era, from late 19th century to early 20th century, Krokstrand was an important community. Paving-stones were shipped from here to all corners of the world, including Argentina.
 The Argentine tango is said to have reached Sweden with sailors on Argentine ships loading stones here. To commemorate this, the popular Krokstrand Festival is held every year in late July, with music, dance and tango classes. If you don’t dance tango (or any other dance) you can enjoy a bite to eat in the summer restaurant »Stenhoggarn«.
 The large stone quarry quay and dramatic open-cast mines are other reminders of the by-gone stonecutting era.
