About Stora Dyrön
The West Coast offers a fascinating landscape with islets and skerries shimmering beautifully in the sunlight.Isn’t the surrounding area stunning? For me, Dyrön is the quintessential image and feeling of what the West Coast represents. The salty sea, the winds, and the storms that occasionally return during autumn.On Dyrön, you can start your hike in the forest and finish it with your feet near the cliff edge, gazing out over the sea towards the Pater Noster lighthouse. It feels like a slow walk with contemplative thoughts, which you can then release to the sea that embraces them. The well-maintained hiking trail around the island is very popular, and if you're lucky, you might encounter the introduced mouflon sheep or even a deer, which crossed the strait during an ice winter! Take the ferry from Rönnängs Brygga on southern Tjörn to Dyrön Norra.To reach Dyrön, take the ferry across the Hakefjord. Ferry line 361 departs from Rönnäng and serves Tjörnekalv, Dyrön, and Åstol. The entire trip takes 25 minutes. As the ferry leaves the strait between Rönnäng and Tjörnekalv, the open western sea appears on the starboard side (to the right). Beyond Åstol lie the Pater Noster skerries with the iconic Heidenstam lighthouse as a landmark. Pater Noster has a sister lighthouse, Häradsskär, which is nearly identical. Häradsskär is located in the archipelago of Östergötland, where I spent all my childhood and youth summers on a sailboat.For me, it has always been easy to feel at home with the sea as a neighbor, even though it’s along a different coastline and with higher salinity. /Tintin Hallding Get to know Bohuslän, Tjörn, and Dyrön even better with the following links:
