Prisoners in the Fortress: A stone’s throw from Hotel Fars Hatt is Bohus Fortress, which dates back to 1308. Swedes, Danes and Norwegians have battled here through the centuries.
Today, the fortress is in ruins but it is used for activities and guided tours.
In “Prisoners in the Fortress” you will visit several of the mystical places in the fortress and some of the darkest dungeons to compete for a number of keys that lead to the royal treasure.
Your group will be divided into teams of 4-6 people. Each team will work together or select a team member to complete tasks in the different dungeons. Tomas Leopold will sit in the Fars Hatt tower and ask the team members riddles. If you get the answer wrong or fail to exit a cell in time, you will end up in Tomas' dungeon...
