Archipelago Tours - SAS

Gällnö
Stockholm – Gällnö,
SEK 100 one way.
Gällnö looks like the archipelago
did in the old days,
with most of its original
buildings still intact. In
typical archipelago style, the red wooden houses are surrounded by
lilacs and outdoor toilets. Down by the harbour is the settlement with
boat-houses, just like in the old times. Due to a thriving agricultural
industry you will find one of the best- preserved cultural landscapes
here, with meadows, fields and rocks polished by ancient glaciers.
Gällnö has thirty local residents and in the little village you will find
a craft shop and café, which is open during the summer, an exhibition
showing the island’s cultural history and rowing boats to hire. In Torsviken
and around Brännholmen there are several fine places for swimming.
You can also row over to Karklö with Båtluffarleden’s rowing boat.
