Åhus straddles the lower Helge å in northeastern Skåne County, and the river’s outlet into Hanö Bay has given the town a long connection to seaborne trade and fishing. Its compact centre retains cobbled lanes, low timber-framed houses and the medieval St Mary’s Church, whose tower rises above the old streets. On the coast, the sandy beach at Täppet and the harbour reveal a more summery side of this Baltic settlement. Åhus is also the home of Absolut Vodka production, linking a global Swedish brand to a small town by the sea. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Åhus and Skåne County.
