Vandringsstig Stor-Räbben

Stor Räbben is a nature reserve dominated by the four large islands of Mellerstön, Lill-Räbben, Svarthällan and Stor-Räbben, all of which are connected by very large shallow areas. Stor-Räbben and Svarthällan are the most visited islands in the reserve and there are some facilities for outdoor recreation. The islands have a beautiful, barren and distinctive nature reminiscent of the bare mountains.

Stor- and Lill-Räbben have a varied and species-rich flora and a rich bird life. They also have great geological values and an interesting cultural history. Stor-Räbben, with its 18 meters above sea level, is one of the highest islands in the Piteå archipelago and thus probably has the archipelago's oldest history. Stor-Räbben is unprotected from the forces of the sea and has plenty of reef-polished rocks and shingle fields from which finer material has been washed out to form powerful sandy areas.

The entrance to Stor Räbben is a navigable channel during the summer. There is a guest jetty and some periods offer tour boat traffic and boat taxis.

The nature reserve is located about 18 kilometers southeast of Piteå.
