Bjäre Peninsula
Bjäre Peninsula is a peninsula located in northwestern Scania, between Laholmsbukten and Skälderviken. The largest part of Bjäre peninsula belongs to Båstad municipality, but the southernmost part belongs to Ängelholm municipality.

Part of Hallandsåsen is located on Bjäre peninsula. Farthest to the northwest is the rocky area of ​​Hov's halls. Wikimedia Foundation. (1970, August 5). Bjärehalvön. Wikipedia.
