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