Brandalssund, Nature reserve in Stockholm County, Sweden
Brandalssund is a nature reserve in Stockholm County featuring open grazing meadows, beaches, forests, and shallow bays along the coastline. The roughly 64-hectare area combines different landscape types that flow together from inland to water's edge.
The medieval fortress Trindborgen stands within the reserve, connecting visitors to centuries of regional defense history. This structure shows how strategically important this coastal area was in earlier times.
Grazing cattle roam the meadows from May to October, keeping native plants thriving through centuries-old farming methods. This practice shapes how the landscape looks and reflects the region's connection to land stewardship.
Two parking areas near the main entrance provide space for about 35 vehicles in total. The closest bus stop at Vallstugan requires roughly a 3-kilometer walk from the reserve.
The northern Norrviken bay has shallow waters where young fish thrive and attracts white-tailed eagles hunting for food. These waters form an important habitat for wildlife and show the natural diversity of the coastal zone.
