Käringön, webcam 1 (2) - Sweden
The island Käringön - furthest out in the sea belt, east of Orust in Bohuslän
The island Käringön is a picturesque little island at the far end of the sea surrounded by salty crystal clear water. There are no cars, mopeds or bicycles and it is wonderful to visit Käringön all year round - perhaps best during the pre- and post-season. Almost all of the island's 280 houses were built before 1920 and this makes the whole environment genuine and beautiful.Many people think that the name Käringön has to do with mean women, but that is not true. The name comes from the Scottish word "cairn" which means sea mark (small stone tower or cairn). In Swedish it eventually became "Käringar". Since there was a "Käring" on our island, the name Käringön came about.
The Käringön Entrepreneurs' Association runs the destination page karingon.info.
