Description

Less than two hours from central Stockholm, you’ll find an unspoiled archipelago landscape where nature is shaped by wind and weather. The scenery is varied, and the biodiversity is rich—both above and below the water’s surface.

The national park’s main entrance is located on Bullerö Island. The island offers a taste of almost everything the park has to offer. Enjoy the wild natural environment as well as landscapes shaped over centuries by farming, haymaking, and grazing. At the entrance area at Rävängen, you’ll find information about the national park’s nature and history. Visit the exhibitions in the hunting lodge, join a guided tour, or take a refreshing swim.

The central parts of Bullerö, including the entrance area with exhibitions, information points, and picnic areas, are accessible to wheelchair users.

Don't forget to bring your own food and drinks—there are no shops or cafés in the national park.
