Fjäderholmarna, Archipelago islands near Stockholm, Sweden.
Fjäderholmarna comprises four islands in the Stockholm archipelago with rocky shores, wooden buildings, and forested walking paths. The island group spreads across a larger area with varied landscapes, from natural forest to developed zones with restaurants and shops.
During the 1800s, the islands served as a naval base and military storage facility for Sweden. They later shifted to become a recreational area, which remains their primary purpose today.
Artisans work in studios scattered across the larger island, creating textiles, pottery, and sweets by hand. You can watch them work and purchase their creations directly from their workshops.
Ferries depart regularly from several landing spots in central Stockholm with a journey time of around 30 minutes to the islands. The walking paths between and within the islands are well marked, and rest areas plus dining options are available throughout.
A brewery operates on the islands producing fresh beer made on-site that cannot be found elsewhere. A well-known restaurant smokes its fish using traditional techniques, giving the place a distinctive food character.
