Images from a coastal stretch within the Gothenburg city limits. Receives visitors mostly in summer when you can go for a swim. No beaches, you need to use stairs to reach the water. The other seasons don't see many visitors, some dog-walkers, joggers, rarely another camera user.
The terrain confines many to a few trails. Some parts I'd call near-inaccessible due to chasms, rifts, steep or negative grades, thorny bushes, water holes and swamps. Sometimes with several of these conditions in combination. To boot, ticks and huge anthills with enormous traffic in and out have made me occasionally drop my planned route in a hurry.
The rocky part can be inviting, smooth and rounded, the work of the "recent" ice age. But footwear with good grip is a must. You wouldn't get anywhere without tackling grades somewhat steeper than you would normally. And wetness, in combination with algae, lichen and mosses growing on rock will always call for caution with every step. Luckily we have a local outfit designing and producing the footwear needed. For the wintertime they produce a metal studded boot that lets you be active in this area even then, just great.
