About the Tuvesvik – Gullholmen piren crossing
Five minutes from the mainland at Tuvesvik to Gullholmen's pier, 73 sailings a week, seventeen departures from 06:45 to 22:20, on five day patterns.
Compare that with the 35-minute run from Käringön to the same island and the geography becomes clear: Gullholmen has one connection that is barely a crossing and another that is most of an hour, and they serve completely different journeys.
Tuvesvik is the car park. Orust, the large island behind it, has roads and a bridge to the mainland, so this quay is where drivers leave their vehicles and continue by boat. Gullholmen has been inhabited since the 1500s and is among the most densely built of the Bohuslän fishing villages — which is precisely why no car has ever been welcome on it.
