Härön is reached by ferry across Kyrkesund is Härön. The island has hiking trails that cross the island's nature reserve. Fantastic views, cliffs, views over the ocean and exciting nature.

On Härön outside Tjörn there are a number of different hiking trails. They partly run through a nature reserve and offer a number of alternative routes. The nature is amazing and varied. If you go to the old farm Änga and are lucky, poppies bloom among other plants, specific to nature's unique surroundings. For those who are interested in flora and fauna, this is a paradise.

The nature on Härön is special and to walk along the fields and experience the tranquility, vegetation and bird life is a close experience. It is mainly the eastern side of the island that is inhabited.

The longer circular loop on Härön is part of Kuststigen. It goes north from the ferry terminal, turns west and then continues south towards the old farm Änga. There is a rest area, a wind shelter and a grill. Here you can also continue south down to Rörberget and its magical view.

The loop then continues back to the ferry terminal through a path in an east-west direction.
