Hallandsås

Hallandsås is a horst on the border between the Swedish counties Skåne and Halland.

It is part of a geological formation that includes an island in the sea outside the village of Torekov near Båstad called Hallands Väderö.

It was formed during the Late Cretaceous period 80 million years ago.

In older times it was most noted for being a dangerous route for the postal services which often were robbed by people in the area.

The "Snapphane" guerrilla movement of the late 17th century also operated out of the woods on the horst.
