Archipelago Tours - SAS

Rånö
Nynäshamn – Rånö, SEK 70 one way.
In the old days, Rånö and Nåttarö
were part of Stockholm’s important
defence system. War torches were lit
in difficult times to warn of approaching
enemies. However, the islands
were still hit badly, particularly by
the Russians in 1719. A reminder of
this are the Russian ovens at Skutviken
and by Kapelludden.
Today, the islands are owned by
The Archipelago Foundation, which
means you can wander freely almost everywhere. Rånö is rich with pine
forests and has beautiful beaches. At Harviken, for example, lovely
white sand beaches and smooth rocks line the shallow inlet. Beside the
jetty, where we stop, you will find a small archipelago shop and the
Rånökällan inn.
Just north of Fånö is the attractive village of Rånö Ängsholme.
From Rånö you can also take the Vaxholm boat on to Ålö, which in its
turn is connected to Utö.
