Hovs Hallar
Hovs Hallar (Swedish pronunciation: seabirds. It is assumed that the area gave the name of the province Halland, meaning "the land beyond Hovs Hallar".
The location is also the setting for the opening scenes of the classic Ingmar Bergman film The Seventh Seal, with the Knight challenging Death to a game of chess for his life on the shoreline, and the closing scene with the Dance Macabre against a stormy sky. [2]
