Fredhällsbadet, Rock swimming area in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden

Fredhällsbadet is a rock bathing site on the shore of Essingefjärden near Tranebergsbron in the Fredhäll district of Stockholm. It consists of smooth rock slabs with wooden decks and platforms, and has separate sections that were once divided by a plank fence. The site offers direct access to deeper water from the rocks.

Plans from 1916 foresaw a large bathing complex with hotel and restaurant at this spot, but only a temporary facility was built, inaugurated in 1922 as Tranebergsbadet with Nordic swimming competitions and separate sections for women and men divided by a plank fence. Slated for demolition in 1946, it was saved when the non-profit Fredhälls Badklubb took over its operation. After renovation it reopened on 1 July 2009 as one of Stockholm's official bathing beaches.

This place serves as a gathering point for Stockholm's swimming community, where people come together to enjoy the water and share in the local bathing tradition. The wooden platforms create social spaces where visitors naturally congregate and connect with one another.

Access to the rock platforms is straightforward and does not require special equipment, though sturdy footwear helps when walking on the natural surfaces. Toilet facilities and safety equipment are located on site, and visitors should exercise caution during rough water or poor weather conditions.

The site opened in 1922 as Tranebergsbadet with separate sections for women and men, divided by a wooden fence. The fence is now open between the sections, and bathing suits are no longer required for sunbathing. Since 1947 the non-profit Fredhälls Badklubb has run the baths, with about 950 members using them outside summer.
