Hovs Hallar
Hovs hallar
Red granite sea cliffs and boulder beaches on the Bjärehalvön peninsula, and a filming location for Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal.”
Hovs Hallar is located on the north coast of the Bjärehalvön peninsula, about 50 km north of Helsingborg. It is a stretch of sea cliffs carved from red granite and a boulder beach, where waves have shaped unusual rock pillars and caves. The clifftops are covered in heather and juniper. The opening scene of Bergman’s classic film “The Seventh Seal,” in which a knight plays chess with Death, was shot here. Several kilometres of coastal trails connect to the nearby harbour town of Torekov. The nature reserve is free to enter, and there is a café near the car park. Visitors need a car or can take a bus in summer.
