Ahus

Åhus, the second-largest locality in Kristianstad Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden, transforms during the summer months, tripling in population as tourists flock to its beaches and the natural beauty of the surrounding Helgeå and Hanöbukten areas. It is also home to The Absolut Company AB, a vodka producer under the Pernod Ricard brand. Sun seekers can enjoy Täppet havsbad and Revhaken Havsbad. History buffs will appreciate Åhus S:ta Maria Kyrka. Fresh, local produce can be found at Rathckegården, a farmers market. Nature enthusiasts will love Aspet, a nature reserve by the beach south of Åhus harbor, and golfers can tee off at Kristianstads Golfbana. Shopping highlights include Gamla Systemet, Flower Living Åhus, and Willy: S. For a unique dining experience, The Blacksmith offers a restaurant nestled in a castle-like structure amidst the woods, while Rokeriet Mellan Ahus & Yngsjo provides a relaxed outdoor café setting. Absolut enthusiasts can indulge in a vodka tasting at the Absolut Home Experience.
