The coast of Östergötland doesn’t reveal itself all at once. Nearly 9,000 islands dot the coast, where sheltered waterways and forested islands give way to rocky skerries and the open Baltic Sea. Most of the islands are uninhabited, leaving plenty of places to paddle ashore, step onto the rocks and, potentially, have a little piece of Sweden all to yourself for a night to recharge.
Our journey starts in Arkösund, on the Baltic coast, before heading further into Sweden’s East Coast Archipelago, with overnight stays along the way. There’s plenty to discover, but little reason to rush. Out here, space comes naturally.
During the press trip, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Head out into the archipelago by boat, visiting islands including Aspöja, Harstena and Häradsskär.
- Swap paddles for two wheels, exploring part of the coastal landscape by bike.
- Experience life in the archipelago, from small island communities to the more exposed skerries further out at sea.
- Start the journey at Arkösunds Hotell, before continuing into the archipelago for the following nights.
The trip will take place in week 24. Exact dates will be confirmed at a later stage.
