Örsö - Archipelago idyll with altitude and history

With its highest point at 42 metres above sea level, Örsö offers magnificent views of the central archipelago and a sense of seclusion in the middle of the open seascape. Here you are met by quiet forest paths, bathing-friendly rocks and traces of a long history - from the 17th century crofting life to today's quiet island life. For those looking for nature, silence and a genuine archipelago feeling, Örsö is an undiscovered gem well worth a visit. Pack a picnic basket and take the Waxholm boat to an island that offers simplicity, views and timeless charm.

"In the bosom of Roslagen on the flowering island, where the waves lapping against the shore, and the reeds waving and freshly cut hay, it smells against me sometimes, there I sit on a bench in the bersong and watch terns and seagulls"
