Hovs Hallar er den sidste udløber af Hallandsåsen,
og bag kystlinien rejser landet sig mere end 100 meter op. Fra Hovs
Hallar kigger man ind i selve Hallandsåsen, som her består af rød
gnejs, som blev dannet for 1,8 milliarder år siden. Selve åsen blev
skabt for 230 millioner år siden, hvor kontinenternes bevægelser fik
Hallandsåsen til at hæve sig op over det øvrige landskab. |
||
| "Nere vid Hovs hallar kaster åsen av sig all skyddande förklädning. Naken och hård, ensam och utan mått är klippans poesi. Här tiger orden, som alltid, när människan står stilla i portvalvet mot evigheten" (Nils Ludvig, 1957) |
