Over 100 Years of Communication

Daily tours June 20–August 16

Our tours offer a vivid and immersive experience of the Grimeton Radio Station World Heritage Site. During the summer, the guided Day Shift tour runs every day, where you’ll discover the site’s history, people, and technology as a whole. On Thursdays, we offer the Technical Shift tour, which takes you closer to the unique radio technology and shows how the facility operated in practice. On Thursdays, you also have the chance to experience something truly special – the Transmitter Start-up, when the historic transmitter is brought to life.

Alexanderson Day July 5

Experience the wings of history where they truly resonate!

During the day, the radio station comes to life with the legendary Alexanderson alternator, the only one of its kind in the world that still works. Meet dedicated guides, see the machine in operation, and take part in the story of how Grimeton Radio Station has been a part of global communication for over a hundred years.

Note: The transmitter start-ups have a limited number of spots and require a special ticket, and there will be no live streaming on YouTube.

The Secret of the Runes July 29

The Secret of the Runes is an exciting and fun theater performance about courage, trust, and finding oneself.

“At Viking summer camp, Julia wears an inherited runestone around her neck. In an attempt to impress Sune, she makes a fateful decision – which causes Sune to suddenly disappear.”

Join Julia and her friends on an epic summer adventure full of humor, excitement, and action, for the whole family!

The performance is a walking theater experience. This means that as an audience member, you get to follow the actors from Teater Carpa on an adventure and experience theater in a whole new way.

Two performances are given during the day. Each p erformance is approximately 45 minutes long and is performed outdoors.

Travel sustainably with Åkturen June 15–August 16

During the summer months, you have the opportunity to take the Åkturen bus from Varberg and straight out into nature. Do nature a favor and give yourself a peaceful journey instead of taking the car.

When does the bus leave? On Hallandstrafiken’s website, you’ll find the Journey Planner where you can see all Åkturen routes. Download the app and come!

The ride is a successful collaboration between Varberg Municipality, Hallandstrafiken, the County Administrative Board, and destinations in the municipality’s inland. Besides the Grimeton World Heritage Site, you can also reach Ästad Vineyard, Öströö Sheep Farm, Strömma Farmlodge, and the scenic hiking trails in the surrounding area.
