Nature reserves

The Stockholm archipelago offers unique nature. Many of the islands and parts of the mainland are nature reserves, each with its own character. A nature reserve is created to preserve habitats, flora or fauna, which gives you the opportunity to experience untouched archipelago nature. But it also means that you must be extra cautious when you visit there. Already in Nacka, next to the city of Stockholm, there are 12 nature reserves where you can walk around and swim. But you can also take the Waxholm boat out and enjoy, for example, Grinda, Möja's archipelago or Finnhamn. There are many nature reserves up in Roslagen, as well as the Ängsö National Park, which was one of the first in Europe when it was established in 1909. If  you would rather go south, we recommend a visit to Landsort or one of the other nature reserves around Haninge and Nynäshamn.
