Väddö

The elongated island extends across 140 square kilometers, featuring sandy beaches, rocky coastlines, dense forests, and numerous recreational paths throughout the terrain.

Archaeological discoveries on Väddö indicate continuous human settlement since the Stone Age, with maritime activities forming the economic foundation during medieval times.

The island maintains Swedish maritime traditions through local festivities, fishing practices, and preserved historical structures including traditional farmhouses and religious buildings.

Visitors reach the island via bridges connecting to the mainland, with facilities including camping grounds, guest harbors, restaurants, and various accommodation options.

The Väddö Canal, first excavated during the 16th century, creates a navigable waterway that separates this seventh-largest Swedish island from the mainland.
