Pick up a picnic basket from Café Brohus in the castle compound. The yellow bridge house is open from 10:00, so grab yours before heading out to the water. The baskets are designed for the green surroundings and include essentials for two.

Walk 32 minutes from the anchor to Gummistranden. This beach spot offers a clear view of the castle silhouetted against the morning sky. The sun rises toward the WNW on this date, framing the view perfectly.
06:04
Watch the sunrise over the water. The golden light begins around 19:25, but the early morning clarity offers a unique perspective of the fortress before the day’s visitors arrive. Enjoy your picnic basket while the light changes.
06:49
Head back toward the town center. Café Karisma is open from 9:00 on weekdays and 10:00 on weekends. By this time, you can sit on the outdoor seating on the pedestrian street and enjoy fresh coffee or juice to warm up after the morning chill.
Local tip
The walk from the golf club to the beach is long (32 minutes). Start your day early and use the time to walk off the picnic basket contents. Check opening hours for Café Karisma to ensure it is open when you return.
