Stendörren is a coastal nature reserve with rocky islands and skerries along Sweden's Baltic shoreline in Sörmland. Suspension bridges connect these islands, allowing visitors to walk through the fragmented coastal landscape.
The area appeared in navigation documents as early as the 13th century and served as an important route for Baltic sailors. Human presence in these waters spans many centuries and shaped the area's regional history.
The place reflects centuries of maritime traditions that shape how people living here relate to the waters around them. Fishing and boat navigation remain central to how locals and visitors understand this coastal landscape.
The best time to visit is during dry weather, when bridges and paths are safest to use. Sturdy footwear and preparation for wind and changing conditions are important for a comfortable visit.
The nature center at the southeastern peninsula is shaped like an osprey with outstretched wings. This distinctive building reflects the rich bird life that defines the reserve.
