Description
Take your boat and head into one of Mälaren's archipelago gems. Find a lovely rocky outcrop for sunbathing and swimming or a private bay where you can be alone and enjoy the peace, water and birds undisturbed.
There are around twenty islands of varying sizes within the nature reserve. The islands are rocky and many are high and steep. The bare rocks are marked by the movement of the ice sheet. On Oxsten, which is the highest and steepest island, there are remains of an ancient castle.
There are plenty of nesting seabirds in the area, which is why there is a landing ban between April 1 and July 15 on the islands of Oxsten, Oxstensögonen, Stjärnan, Våmben and Lexingekråkan. The birds have chicks and must be left alone.
If you want to paddle through the reserve, there is a parking lot and the opportunity to put in the kayak next to the road just after you drive over to Grönsö. From here it is 4 km to the reserve itself. Take a tour around the entire Grönsö island and stop at Grönsö Castle where there is a café and an exciting castle park.
