A local geographical landmark is the glacial ridge Fjärås bräcka, tae the sooth o Kungsbacka, but it is the coast that is the predominant geographical featur. The municipality receives its drinkin watter frae the nearbi lake Lygnern; the watter unnergoes a natural filtering process as it trickles through the ridge, contributin tae its quality.
