Description

There are plenty of moorings on Fölsö and the highest point of the island offers magnificent views across the archipelago. The island has been used as grazing land but has never had a permanent population.

The north-eastern part is rocky beaches. To the south-east, the beach is stony and rich in flora in the form of hemp-agrimony, meadowsweet, bayonet grass and angelica. The remainder is rocky outcrops and groves of aspen, hazel, alder, oak and pine.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, you may pitch a tent or moor a boat for no more than 24 hours, you may only light a fire in a designated spot, and all dogs must be kept on a lead.
